How to Hide and Unhide rows and columns

  • To identify the hidden row and columns, look at the missing alphabet in the column header in case of hidden columns or the missing number in the row header in case of hidden rows. Further improvements to indicate the hidden row/column will be made in future releases.
  • Importing an excel file containing hidden rows/columns is currently not supported in Excellentable.
