Hide Sheet after missusing shortcut Alt+H+W

If “Unhide” is grayed out or doesn’t show your sheet, it’s likely very hidden, which Excel for Web cannot unhide directly.

Open the workbook in Excel Desktop

Excel Online cannot unhide sheets that are set to “very hidden” via VBA. You need to:

1. Click File → Open in Desktop App.
2. Go to the Developer tab → Visual Basic (press Alt+F11).
3. In the VBA Project Explorer, find your workbook and locate the hidden sheet.
4. Select the sheet and look at the Properties window (press F4).
5. Check the Visible property:

• -1 - xlSheetVisible → sheet is visible
• 0 - xlSheetHidden → sheet can be unhidden from menu
• 2 - xlSheetVeryHidden → only VBA can unhide

1. Change it to -1 - xlSheetVisible.
2. Close the VBA editor and return to Excel. The sheet should now appear.

Be careful with shortcuts like Alt+H+W in desktop Excel — that’s the “Hide Sheet” shortcut. If used repeatedly, it can hide sheets unintentionally.

Excel Online does not have a direct way to access the VBA Project, so any “very hidden” sheets must be managed in the desktop version.
