Unhiding rows
Dear Trainer,
I am having difficulty unhiding rows 1-7.
I have tried selecting row 8 and dragging upwards before unhiding. I have selected the whole sheet before unhiding. I have tried unhiding from the menu toolbar and by right clicking on the cell rows directly but nothing seems to be unhiding rows 1-7.
Is there something I am not doing? I've looked for a "show all" option but have not seen one.
Thank you in advance for your help. This is really bugging me!

RE: Unhiding rows
Hi Victoria, You seem to have covered everything so I dont really have a great deal to offer, the select all button is found at the intersection of the row and column indicators, the little square where the 1 and A meet, clicking on that will select the entire worksheet, if it does all select; try menu command Format>Rows>Unhide. If you have already followed those steps, I cant think of anything else. I hope you crack it soon. regards Pete

Dear Pete,
I tried that before and I've tried that now but they won't unhide. They definately are still there as the rows begin at number 8.
Argh!

Dear Victoria
I would suggest you to do two things.
Please choose Window and see if it says Freeze Pane or Unfreeze Pane. If it says Unfreeze Panes then please click on this and see if it has resolved the problem.
The second one is more logical. Select Row 8 and drag all the way to the Column Letters. Then Right click and choose Height...
type in 15 and see if it displays your rows or not.
Let me know how it went.
Kindest Regards

Dear Rajeev,
Thank you very much for your help. Your first solution worked. I can't believe it was just mis-frozen panels causing me all that trouble. I also tried your second option, but it didn't unhide the rows.
Thank you so much!

RE: Unhiding rows
When you select the rows by clicking and dragging on the row headers go slightly higher than A7 cell so that you drag over what would be the column row header. You'll see a little yellow box while you are dragging showing you how many rows you have selected. Once you go a little higher it will add in the 7 rows you have hidden. Your unhide option should now work.
RE: Unhiding rows
Dear David,
Thank you very much for your response. I saw the little yellow box you mentioned, but when I tried your method, it did not reveal the rows.
A solution from Rajeev worked though, so my query is now solved.
Thank you ever so much,
Vicky
RE: Unhiding rows
Hi Victoria, Im glad that Raj managed to sort your problem, I am gutted, I considered Freeze Panes and tried it out on my test workbook, but when I Selected All and then used the Right Click Show all option, everything came back, so I assumed that was not the problem, just another example of "dont assume", still once again I'm pleased you got it resolved. Pete
