Sometimes you may wish to remove a row or column from view but not permanently delete it from your Excel worksheet. For instance, you may wish to print out only relevant rows or columns from your worksheet. Excel allows you to temporarily hide a row or column from view using the Hide command. When a row or column is hidden, note that the row heading or column heading disappears from view as well. Hidden objects can still perform and be included in calculations.
To unhide a column or row, you must first select the rows or columns adjacent to the hidden one(s) before using the unhide command
