How Do I Hide Rows in Google Sheets?

Published in Google Sheets 2 mins read

You can hide rows in Google Sheets to declutter your spreadsheet and focus on specific data. Here's how:

Hiding Single Rows

  1. Select the row number: Click on the row number to the left of the row you want to hide.
  2. Right-click and choose 'Hide row': A context menu will appear. Select "Hide row" from the options.

Hiding Multiple Rows

  1. Select the rows: Click and drag your mouse over the row numbers to select multiple rows.
  2. Right-click and choose 'Hide rows': A context menu will appear. Select "Hide rows" from the options.

Unhiding Rows

  1. Select the row above the hidden row: Click on the row number above the hidden row.
  2. Right-click and choose 'Unhide row': A context menu will appear. Select "Unhide row" from the options.

Unhiding Multiple Rows

  1. Select the row above the first hidden row and the row below the last hidden row: Click and drag your mouse over the row numbers.
  2. Right-click and choose 'Unhide rows': A context menu will appear. Select "Unhide rows" from the options.

Example

Let's say you want to hide rows 5 through 8 in your spreadsheet. You would:

  • Select rows 5 through 8: Click on row 5 and drag your mouse down to row 8.
  • Right-click and choose 'Hide rows': The selected rows will disappear.

To unhide these rows, you would:

  • Select row 4 and row 9: Click on row 4 and drag your mouse down to row 9.
  • Right-click and choose 'Unhide rows': Rows 5 through 8 will reappear.

Remember: Hiding rows doesn't delete them. They are still present in the spreadsheet and can be unhidden at any time.
