To unhide hidden rows or columns in Excel, effectively revealing hidden "text", follow these steps:
-
Select All: Click the "Select All" button (the small triangle at the intersection of the row and column headers) in the upper-left corner of the worksheet, or press Ctrl + A. This ensures you select the entire sheet.
-
Navigate to Format: Go to the Home tab on the Excel ribbon. In the Cells group, click on Format.
-
Unhide Rows or Columns: In the Format dropdown menu, navigate to Hide & Unhide. Choose either Unhide Rows or Unhide Columns, depending on whether you believe the "text" is hidden due to hidden rows or columns.
-
Check all sheets: If the hidden text is in a different sheet, repeat the steps above in that specific sheet.
This process will unhide any hidden rows or columns within the selected area, making the previously hidden text visible. Remember that if your data appears to be missing, hidden rows or columns are a likely culprit.
