Excel

when using the hide button, how easy is it to bring it back to the worksheet.

RE: Excel

Hi Rajwinder

Thank you for your question.

You can hide a worksheet by going to Format - Sheet - Hide. To unhide the sheet, select Format - Sheet - Unhide and then choose the sheet you wish to unhide from the box that appears, and click OK. So it is fairly straightforward to unhide a hidden worksheet.

If you wish to make hidden information more secure, you could try the following things instead:
- Place a password on a file, so a password would be required to open it; or
- Select the columns or rows you wish to hide in your spreadsheet, right click on the selected rows or columns and choose the Hide option. Then put password protection onto the sheet by going to Tools - Protection - Protect sheet then entering a password to control the application of protection. The protection can be removed by going to Tools - Protection - Unprotect Sheet and entering the password.
You need to remember to apply protection again before closing the worksheet.

I hope you find this useful.

Excel tip:

Quickly hide and unhide rows and columns

Use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+9 to hide selected rows and Ctrl+0 to hide selected columns. The good thing about this shortcut is that you do not need to select entire rows or columns. For example, select B3:D3 then press Ctrl+0 to hide columns B to D.

Ctrl+Shift+9 unhides rows and Ctrl+Shift+0 unhides columns.
