Hidden Sheets

Copper Contributor

Hi all, for some reason my sheets are hidden by default. Every time I open a new excel all sheets are hidden. So I need to manually show the sheets. How do I set to have the sheets visible as default. 

 

I have my excel for mac 365.

That does not work, since once I close the excel and open a new one the problem is still there. I need to fix it forever.

Even if I don't have any special knowledge of Macs, I always recommend updating in advance. Update the operating system and Office.

As unbelievable as it sounds, I hear very often that this cancels out many of the problems with Mac.

 

Update Office for Mac automatically

Check for updates and install

Update macOS and its apps
Select "System Preferences" from the Apple menu () in the corner of the screen. Click on "Software Update". If updates or upgrades are available, click Update Now or Upgrade Now to install them.

 

Thank you for your understanding and patience
