My spreadsheet vanished when I pressed Alt + H + W - HELP?! How do I undo andget my spreadsheet back
I suspect that you pressed Alt+W, H by accident. This hides the window.
To unhide, press Alt+W, U or click Unhide on the View tab of the ribbon.
Select the workbook, then click OK.
Thanks a lot, I was at a loss when my Excel data became invisible, but following your guidance, I successfully retrieved it. Thank you so much for your help, and my gratitude also extends to the person who posed such a helpful question. Thank you once again.
HansVogelaar The entire workbook vanished. What do I do?
Have you tried to unhide it, as described above?
HansVogelaar Hi yes this tip might have worked if the workbook was open- my workbook in itself disappeared
HansVogelaar you saved my life hans..how would i thank you
Glad it helped. Your kind words are all the thanks I need.
HansVogelaar THis was helpful, but I hit ALT+H+W intentionally because it says it is a shortcut for wrap text.
hutchicd I just did the same thing so I'm grateful for this post. I just realized we need to press and release the keys one at a time in order (not holding the keys down). I tried holding alt, H, and W all at the same time. I'm guessing when I released the keys, I lifted up on the W before the H and that's what screwed everything up. Lesson learned.
Alt+H, W is not the same as Alt+W, H
