Keyboard shortcuts in Excel
I would be happy to know if I could help.

NikolinoDE Thanks for the reply. Yes I have checked those shortcut lists out. It seems the Ctrl-F1 shortcut to hide the ribbon in Excel Online is no longer doing anything for any of our online excel sheets. Perhaps this is why I can no longer hide the formula bar.
If the ribbon isn't visible at all
If the ribbon isn’t visible at all (no tabs are showing), then you probably have it set to Auto-hide. Select More ... at the top right of the screen. This will temporarily restore the ribbon.
When you return to the document, the ribbon will be hidden again. To keep the ribbon displayed, select one of the Show options above.

- My issue is exclusively on Excel Online. I used to be able to compress the top ribbon and hide the Formula bar to create more space for viewing the Excel sheet. I think it was via the Ctrl-F1 shortcut. This does not seem to work anymore, and the option to hide the formula bar is no longer present in the View tab.
