    It is not the Columns/Rows, it is the actual sheets/ tabs. It stopped working after the last update to the mobile app. Once you hide a sheet/ tab you can not unhide it in the app, this function was previously available. I just tested it on an older version on a device that has not updated yet and it worked.

    Here's guidance to help you unhide rows or columns in Excel Mobile on Android or iPhone:

    For Excel Mobile on Android:

    1. Select Cells Around Hidden Rows/Columns: Tap on the column letter (to unhide a column) or row number (to unhide a row) adjacent to the hidden section. This will select the columns/rows around the hidden area.
    2. Access the Menu: Once the adjacent rows or columns are selected, look for the three vertical dots (ellipsis) or the "More Options" icon in the toolbar.
    3. Unhide Columns/Rows: In the menu that appears, you should find an option like "Unhide" or "Unhide Columns/Rows". Tap on it, and the hidden columns or rows should become visible again.

    For Excel Mobile on iPhone:

    1. Select Cells Around Hidden Rows/Columns: Similarly, tap on the column letter or row number adjacent to the hidden section to select the columns/rows around the hidden area.
    2. Open the Menu: Look for the ellipsis (...) or "More" option in the toolbar at the top or bottom of the screen.
    3. Unhide Columns/Rows: In the menu, there should be an option labeled "Unhide" or "Unhide Columns/Rows". Tap on this option, and the hidden columns or rows will be restored and visible again.

    If the above steps do not work:

    Check if the rows or columns are indeed hidden by selecting adjacent cells and looking for any "Unhide" options in the menu.

    Ensure you're using the latest version of Excel Mobile available on the Google Play Store (for Android) or Apple App Store (for iPhone).

    Try opening the file on a desktop version of Excel to unhide the rows/columns there if the mobile app doesn’t allow unhiding.

    Kind Regards,

    It is the spreadsheets that we are unable to "unhide". This issue began after the last update.
