How to unhide multiple rows in Excel

In this tutorial we’ll learn how to unhide multiple rows in Excel by following these simple steps. The dataset given above has multiple hidden rows i.e., row 6 to row 10 and row 18 to row 22.

Excel being a powerful tool for visualization and manipulation of data, provides very efficient and simple methods to present the data. It also provides tools to hide unnecessary data while still keeping the data in the spreadsheet and vice versa. 

Step 1 – Select rows before and after the hidden rows or select the whole sheet

Step 2 – Use the shortcut key CTRL + SHIFT + 9 or use Context Menu’s Unhide option

– The method to unhide multiple rows is very simple, after selecting the appropriate rows just use the shortcut key CTRL + SHIFT + 9 (number key) or right click and use the Unhide option from the context menu.
– Both options will unhide all hidden rows inside the selected rows.
