How do I unhide hidden columns?

Answered by Edward Huber

To unhide hidden columns in Excel, follow these steps:

1. Select the columns between which the hidden columns are located. For example, if columns B and F are hidden, select columns A and G.

2. Once the desired columns are selected, go to the Home tab in the Excel ribbon.

3. In the Cells group, locate the Format option. It is usually represented by a small paint bucket icon.

4. Hover the cursor over the Format option to reveal a drop-down menu.

5. Within the drop-down menu, look for the Hide & Unhide option. It may be located in a sub-menu, so you might need to click on it to expand the options.

6. Click on the ‘Unhide Columns’ option. This will immediately unhide any hidden columns within the selected range.

7. If there were no hidden columns within the selected range, or if you want to unhide specific columns, you can also use the ‘Unhide’ option directly. This option allows you to choose specific columns to unhide.

8. After clicking on ‘Unhide Columns’ or ‘Unhide’, the hidden columns will reappear within the selected range or as per your selection.

9. You can repeat these steps as needed to unhide any additional hidden columns in your Excel worksheet.
