    Cannot unhide a hidden row in Excel

    Hi. I have a row in a spreadsheet in Excel that is hidden but i am unable to unhide it. I have tried the usual way by hovering between the rows above and below until i get the double line but this does not happen. I have also tried going through the Format - Row - Unhide option but this also doesn't work. Any suggestions?

    First post in a relevant forum - moved.

    Second - click the grey square above 1 and to left of A - then Format - Row - Unhide

    OK so the next thing to determine is... is the row hidden at all ?
    (I'm assuming you're not getting a Protected Sheet warning given you've not mentioned it)

    Highlight all rows again and then via Format set row height to be say 15, does it *appear* then ?

    Failing that post a copy of the sheet to do so:

    Right click on tab -- Move or Copy -- set Destination to New Book and tick Create a Copy
    Then in the new file delete the cell content (CTRL + A -> then press Delete) of the sheet and attach the resulting file here for us to review.
