How to delete hidden cells from a worksheet
Hi,
I want to delete hidden rows and columns from a huge data base (so it would be way too time consuming to delete them one by one). Is there a way to delete all hidden rows and columns in a worksheet?
I have Excel on Mac (the latest version I guess)
Thank you
AS

ASDeshaiesR I'm a mac user and found a workaround. I don't know how big your database is but I was able to copy and paste the table into word then copy and paste it back into excel and it dropped the hidden cells. There was a little bit of reformatting I had to do but it did the trick for me.
Hope that helps in the future.
See How to Delete All Hidden Rows and Columns in Excel for several ways to do this.

HansVogelaar , it seems that option is no longer available in Excel.. I am a microsoft user, not Mac.

HansVogelaar Thanks but I dont have the Inspection option on Excel for Mac... and the VBA stuff is a complicated for me
I hope that someone with a Mac will have a suggestion for you.
