# **Unhide rows**

<dl><dt>**Windows**</dt>
<dd>`Ctrl+Shift+9`</dd>
<dt>**Mac**</dt>
<dd>`Ctrl+Shift+9`</dd>
</dl>

Ctrl+Shift+9

Shows the hidden rows inside the selection. Select the rows on both sides of the hidden ones first, or press Ctrl+A to unhide every row on the sheet. Ctrl+9 hides rows.

## **Questions**

<details>

<summary>

### Is there a shortcut to unhide columns?

</summary>

Ctrl+Shift+0 unhides columns in Excel, but Windows often uses that combination to switch keyboard layouts, so it may do nothing. Right-click the column headers and choose Unhide instead.
