Q&A for How to Hide Rows in Excel

Just select the cell or cells, then go to Home, and in Cells group, click Format. Then under Visibility, point to Hide\Unhide, and then click Hide Rows or Hide Columns. This will hide the Rows or Columns of the selected cell or cells.

Highlight the entire spreadsheet. Go to Data then click on Filter. This will add a drop-down box in the header of each column. Click on the drop-down box in the column where the specified words you want to hide is located. De-select all of the items you wish to hide, and click OK.

Hiding rows you don’t need can make your Excel spreadsheet much easier to read, especially if it’s large. For example, if you want to input data that is used for multiple formulas, a hidden row will still contain that information but will not be shown.

Select the entire sheet by clicking on the arrow in the upper left corner, then go to Home, and in the cells group, click "Format." Then under "Visibility," point to "Hide/Unhide," and click "Unhide Rows" or "Unhide Columns." This will hide the rows or columns of the selected cell or cells.
