How to unhide a row in Google Sheets?
Sometimes there are so many rows in Google Sheets that you do not want to keep them all. Additionally, some pages shared with us might be sent hidden. If the number of rows is low, we can easily see the hidden rows. If the number of rows is high, we cannot look one by one to find the hidden rows. Let's see what to do in such and other situations.
How to Understand if There are Hidden Rows?
When working on a page sent to us, we cannot detect hidden rows if the table is too large. Therefore, let's figure out how to check if there are hidden rows in large tables.
Click on the gray rectangle in the upper left corner of the page. The whole page is selected.
Right-click. If there are hidden rows, 'unhide rows' will appear. This option will not appear if there are no hidden rows.
If we choose unhide rows, the hidden rows are not unhidden. This just shows us the existence of hidden rows. Let's look at how to unhide rows.

- Go to the place where the row numbers are written and select row 1.
- Press down arrow while holding Ctrl + Shift
- Select all of the rows and right-click → Unhide row.
Now hidden rows have been unhidden.
