Hide or Unhide worksheets

You can hide any worksheet to remove it from view. The data in hidden worksheets is not visible, but it can still be referenced from other worksheets and workbooks, and you can easily unhide hidden worksheets as needed.

Right-click the sheet tab you want to hide, or any visible sheet if you want to unhide sheets.

On the menu that appears, do one of the following:

To hide the sheet, select Hide.

To unhide hidden sheets, select them in the Unhide dialog that appears, and then select OK.

Notes: To select multiple sheets do either of these:

Press and hold CTRL, then click the items to select them.

Press and hold SHIFT, then use the up and down arrow keys to adjust your selection.

These steps work for Microsoft 365 subscribers, as do the steps on the tab below that matches your operating system. For perpetual Office versions, see the tabs below for steps supported by your specific version of Excel.

Question

If you like the comfort of being able to close/x out (in MS Word or Excel) one single document and still have the session open you are out of luck! Now you have to X out of the session. In office 2010 you could avoid that by going to File>>Option>>advanced>>Display and uncheck «Show all windows in the taskbar» to get that taken care of — That option is now gone. Now if you open 10 Word or Excel documents you will end up with 10 sessions of Word or Excel (That’s quite taxing on CPU). This is very very very dummm!

If anyone has a work around I’d greatly appreciate a fix

Based on my research, the MDI Mode (Show all windows in the Taskbar) feature has been fully removed. Referring to the following link:

Then here’s a workaround, set «Always combine, hide labels» in the Taskbar setting, then the documents will show in one icon in the taskbar, then right click the icon, there will show an option «Close all windows». Following the following steps:

• Right click on the task bar
• Select «Properties»
• Select «Taskbar Tab»
• Taskbar Buttons drop down, select «Always combine, hide labels»
• Click «Apply» button
• Click «Ok» button

This solution is no good in my opinion as is applies to all taskbar windows. Plus I think the combine option is the default in windows, so if someone is having this problem then it is someone who has turned this setting off.

If I can’t find a different solution I’m going to be pretty unhappy with this change

If there was a problem — Yo, I’ll solve it

I’m also not happy with this change, the old way worked better for how I work, and I’d at least like the option to go back, like we had in Office 2007 (and I believe 2010 as well). It’s bad enough that Excel insists on showing a taskbar item for each open workbook, but worse, it also shows another taskbar item for the base application?! And closing Excel requires that I close the docs, then close the base app. What a pain. This is a step backwards in UI efficiency.

However.. contrary to Sam’s comment that opening 10 Excel workbooks opens 10 different instances of Excel, that is incorrect. If you inspect the Processes tab in Task Manager, you will see that there is just one instance of Excel running no matter how many workbooks you have open.

I agree with you about them mishandling the taskbar settings.

However, you can close EVERYTHING all at once by holding the shift key while clicking the X in the top right corner of the title bar.

You can add the Close command to your Quick Access Toolbar. That will allow you to close a single document/spreadsheet that’s open in either Word or Excel WITHOUT closing the program itself.

Alternatively, you can close just the active current document with Ctrl-F4 and, even if it’s the only file you have opened, the underlying program remains open.

Hey khun_tilt, I’m glad that you cleared that up for me. Because you understand how everyone works with their PCs, you just know that this change isn’t impactful, right?

This new concept that the taskbar shows open documents, rather than running applications is significant. In Office 2010, you could revert back to ‘normal’, but the lack of this option in 2013, IMO, is a material problem. I’m a software developer, and it’s not uncommon for me to have 8-10+ applications running at one time. Paging through those with alt-tab was bad enough, but now the number of elements that I have to page through (apps plus open docs in Word and Excel ) could be 30+. That is a problem.

If other software vendors (Informatica, Oracle, Hyperion, Adobe, Autodesk) adopt this UI concept, I’m really screwed. But for now, it’s inconsistent, and I don’t like that either.

I don’t think anyone said this is a «world ending disaster», but it does have a real impact on my productivity, and it’s bad software design.
