To add or show gridlines in Excel, you need to use the "View" tab. Here's how:
Steps to Show Gridlines in Excel
- Open your Excel worksheet: Launch the Excel application and open the worksheet where you want to show gridlines.
- Navigate to the View Tab: Locate the "View" tab on the Excel ribbon at the top of the screen.
- Locate the "Show" group: Within the "View" tab, find the "Show" group.
- Check the "Gridlines" checkbox: In the "Show" group, you will find a checkbox labeled "Gridlines." Click this checkbox to show gridlines on your worksheet. If it's already checked, the gridlines are displayed, and you can clear it to hide them.
Here's a summary in a table format:
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Open your Excel worksheet. |
| 2 | Go to the View Tab |
| 3 | Find the Show group |
| 4 | Check the Gridlines checkbox |
By following these simple steps, you can easily toggle the visibility of gridlines in Excel, helping you work with data in a clear and organized manner. This function works the same in both the desktop application and the Excel for the web version. As the reference mentions "You can either show or hide gridlines on a worksheet in Excel for the web. On the View tab, in the Show group, select the Gridlines check box to show gridlines, or clear the check box to hide them."
