How do you unhide "lost" cells?

If you hide columns in the excel spreadsheet, quite often they get lost and you can't find them again. where do I look for them once you have used the "unhide/hide" option and they still don't turn up.

RE: how do you unhide "lost" cells?

Try selecting a load of rows, e.g. row 1 thru row 2500 and then go right click > unhide.

You may find them

RE: how do you unhide "lost" cells?

Hi Renee

Hope you are well i can understwhere you are coming from, when you need to unhide rows or columns you find need to find which row or column that you need to unhide to do this look on the header for an example header D and header F

You will then need to select from column C to G then go the format menu and columns then click unhide this should bring back the unhidden ones, you can also right click on the column header and click unhide

hope this helps you

Excel tip:

Reconciling a list to correspond with another

May have a list that needs to make but on another sheet one list seems to be out, eg. product list one sheet contains all product and inventory data, while the other contains pricing data. Both need to match with all products but there is more products in one list than the other. To find the disparaging product compare data in the two columns that need to match Make sure that order the same way.
Create another column in the sheet that has the most items and type in the first cell


=Exact(text1,text2) text1 being the cell that you want compared with text2 cell reference. Drag to filldown and your first false will give you for first cells that does not match. Correct insert the row with data in other sheet and continue the process until all the data returns true. Delete the column inserted.
