Hidden rows and columns can be quite irritating at times.
Especially if someone else has hidden these and you forget to unhide it (or even worse, you don’t know how to unhide these).
While I can’t do anything about the first issue, I can show you how to unhide columns in Excel (the same techniques can also be used to unhide rows).
It may happen that one of the methods of unhiding columns/rows may not work for you. In that case, it is good to know the alternatives that can work.
How to Unhide Columns in Excel
There are many different situations where you may need to unhide the columns:
Multiple columns are hidden and you want to unhide all columns at once
You want to unhide a specific column (in between two columns)
You want to unhide the first column
Let’s go through each for these scenarios and see how to unhide the columns.
Unhide All Columns At One Go
If you have a worksheet that has multiple hidden columns, you don’t need to go hunt each one and bring it to light.
You can do that all in one go.
And there are multiple ways to do this.
Using the Format Option
Here are the steps to unhide all columns at one go:
No matter where that pesky column is hidden, this will unhide it.
Note: You can also use the keyboard shortcut Control A A (hold the control key and hit the A key twice) to select all the cells in the worksheet.
Using VBA
If you need to do this often, you can also use VBA to get this done.
The below code will unhide column in the worksheet.
Sub UnhideColumns () Cells.EntireColumn.Hidden = False EndSubYou need to place this code in the VB Editor (in a module).
If you want to learn how to do this with VBA, read a detailed guide on how to run a macro in Excel.
Using a Keyboard Shortcut
If you’re more comfortable using keyboard shortcuts, there is a way to unhide all columns with a few keystrokes.
Here are the steps:
Select any cell in the worksheet.
Press Control-A-A (hold the control key and press A twice). This will select all the cells in the worksheet
Use the following shortcut – ALT H O U L (one key at a time)
If you can get hang of this keyboard shortcut, it could be a lot faster to unhide columns.
Note: The reason you need to press A twice when holding the control key is that sometimes when you press Control A, it only selects the used range in Excel (or the area that has the data) and you need to press the A again to select the entire worksheet.
Another keyword shortcut that works for some and not for others is Control 0 (from a numeric keypad) or Control Shift 0 from a non-numeric keypad. It used to work for me earlier but doesn’t work anymore. Here is some discussion on why it may happen. I suggest you use the longer (ALT HOUL) shortcut that works every time.
Unhide Columns in Between Selected Columns
There are multiple ways you can quickly unhide columns in between selected columns. The methods shown here are useful when you want to unhide a specific column(s).
Let’s go through these one-by-one (and you can choose to use that you find the best).
Using a Keyboard Shortcut
Below are the steps:
Select the columns that contain the hidden columns in between. For example, if you are trying to unhide column C, then select column B and D.
Use the following shortcut – ALT H O U L (one key at a time)
This will instantly unhide the columns.
Using the Mouse
One quick and easy way to unhide a column is to use the mouse.
Below are the steps:
Hover your mouse in between the columns alphabets that have the hidden column(s). For example, if Column C is hidden, then hover the mouse between Column B and D (at the top of the worksheet). You will see a double line icon with arrows pointing on left and right.
Hold the left key of the mouse and drag it to the right. It will make the hidden column appear.
Using the Format Option in the Ribbon
Under the home tab in the ribbon, there are options to hide and unhide columns in Excel.
Here is how to use it:
Select the columns between which there are hidden columns.
Hover the cursor on Hide & Unhide option.
Using VBA
Below is the code that you can use to unhide columns in between the selected columns.
Sub UnhideAllColumns() Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = False End Sub
You need to place this code in the VB Editor (in a module).
If you want to learn how to do this with VBA, read a detailed guide on how to run a macro in Excel.
By Changing the Column Width
There is a possibility that none of these methods work when you try to unhide column in Excel. It happens when you change the Column Width to 0. In that case, even if you unhide the column, it’s width still remains 0, and hence you can’t see it or select it.
Below are the steps to change the column width:
In the name box, type any cell address in that column. For example, if it is column C, type C1.
Although the column is not visible, the cursor would go in between B1 and D1 (indicating that C1 has been selected).
Enter a column width value to make the column visible.
This is by far the most reliable way to unhide columns in Excel. If everything fails, just change the column width.
Unhide the First Column
Unhiding the first column can be a little bit tricky.
You can use many of the methods covered above, with a little bit of extra work.
Let me show you a few ways.
Use the Mouse to Drag the First Column
Even when the first column is hidden, Excel allows you to select it and drag it to make it visible.
To do this, hover the cursor on the left edge of column B (or whatever is the leftmost visible column).
The cursor would change into a double arrow pointer as shown below.
Hold the left mouse button and drag the cursor to the right. You will see that it unhides the hidden column.
Go to a Cell in the First Column and Unhide it
But how do you go to any cell in the column that’s hidden?
Good question!
You use the Name Box (it’s left to the formula bar).
Enter A1 in the Name Box. It will instantly take you to the A1 cell. Since the first column is hidden, you won’t be able to see it, but be assured that it’s selected (you’ll still see a thin line just left of B1).
Once the hidden column cell is selected, follow the below steps:
Hover the cursor on the ‘Hide & Unhide’ option.
Select the First Column and Unhide it
Again! How do you select it when it’s hidden?
Well, there are many different ways to skin the cat.
And this is just another method in my kitty (this is the last cat sounding reference I promise).
When you select the leftmost visible cell and drag the cursor to the left (where there are row numbers), you end up selecting all the hidden columns (even when you don’t see it).
Once you have select all the hidden columns, follow the below steps:
Hover the cursor on the ‘Hide & Unhide’ option.
Check The Number of Hidden Columns
Excel has an ‘Inspect Document’ feature that is meant to quickly scan the workbook and give you some details about it.
And one of the things that you can do that ‘Inspect Document’ is to quickly check how many hidden columns or hidden rows are there in the workbook.
This might be useful when you get the workbook from someone and want to quickly inspect it.
Below are the steps on how to check the total number of hidden columns or hidden rows:
Open the workbook
In the Document Inspector, make sure Hidden Rows and Columns option is checked.
This will show you the total number of hidden rows and columns.
It also gives you the option to delete all these hidden rows/columns. This can be the case if there is extra data that has been hidden and is not needed. Instead of finding hidden rows and columns, you can quickly delete these from this option.

How To Increment A Value By Row Or Column In Excel
Generic Formula
Expression: This is the value, reference of expression with which you want to increment. It can be a hardcoded value or any expression that returns a valid output. It should be an absolute expression (in most cases).
Number of rows above the first formula: If you are writing this first formula in B3 then the number of rows above this formula will be 2.
[steps]: This is optional. This is the number of steps you want to jump in the next increment.
The Arithmetic operator between expression and formula can be replaced with other operators to suit the requirements of increment.
So that we are familiar with the generic formula, let’s see some examples.
Example 1: Create an Auto Increment Formula for ID Creation.
Using the general formula we write the below formula in Cell B4 and copy it down.
We have replaced the + operator with ampersand operator (&) since we wanted to concatenate. And since we are writing the first formula in Cell B4, we subtract 3 from ROW (). The result is here.
Example 2: Increment the ID every 2 steps
If you want to increment the ID every 2 steps then you will need to write this formula.
The result is:
C1 contains 100.
Next we subtract 3 from it (since there are 3 rows above the 4th row). It gives us 1. This is important. It should be a hard coded value so that it does not change as we copy the formula below.
Finally the value 1 is multiplied (or any other operation) by the starting expression. As we copy the formula below. ROW() returns 5 but subtracting value stays the same (3) and we get 2. And it continues to be the cell you want.
To add steps, we use simple multiplication.
Increment Values By Column
In the above examples we increment by rows. It will not work if you copy them in the next column of the same row.
In the above formula we used the ROW function. Similarly, we can use the COLUMN function.
Generic Formula to Increment by Columns
Number of columns on the left of the first formula: If you are writing this first formula in B3 then the number of columns on the left of this formula will be 1.
I am not giving any examples as it will be the same as the above examples.
Alternative with SEQUENCE Function
It is a new function only available for EXCEL 365 and 2019 users. It returns an array of sequential numbers. We can use it to increment values sequentially, by rows, columns or both. And yes, you can also include the steps. Using this function you will not need to copy down the formula, as Excel 365 has auto spill functionality.
So, if you want to do the same thing as you did in Example no 3. The SEQUENCE function alternative will be:
