Hide or show rows or columns
You can hide a row or column by using the Hide command, or by changing the row height or column width to 0 (zero). You can display either again by using the Unhide command.
You can unhide specific rows and columns, or you can unhide all hidden rows and columns at the same time. If you hide the first row or column in a worksheet, you follow a different process, and you'll find that in the last section of the article.
Note: The screenshots in this article were taken in Excel 2013. If you have a different version your view might be slightly different, but unless otherwise noted, the functionality is the same.
