How to view hidden worksheets?

  Asked By: Qadriyah    Date: Jan 19    Category: MS Office    Views: 742
  

I got a workbook from someone else, with a worksheet where a formula
uses a value from a hidden sheet.

If I go under the "Window" menu item, "Unhide..." is greyed out.
When I go into VBA, the VBA for the file is locked.

Is there any way to unhide or view this hidden sheet?

The sheet  is presumably in "very hidden" mode. You can only unhide  this
from VBA. Get the VBA password from the person that gave you the password
or ask him/her to unhide the sheet for you.

The owner will have hidden  it for a reason. You need to get proper
permission / assistance to view  it.

Infortunately, I don't think we can get the password.
Is there some kind of hack to circumvent the password?

Open a new workbook. Paste the following code into a VBA module in it:

Public Sub UnhideAllSheets()
'Unhide all worksheets  in the active workbook.
Dim x As Integer
On Error GoTo UASerr
For x = 1 To Worksheets.Count
Sheets(x).Visible = True
Next x
Exit Sub
UASerr:
MsgBox "Error", , "UnhideAllSheets"
End Sub

Open the workbook  with the hidden  sheet. From the Tools menu, select Macro >>
Macros >> UnhideAllSheets >> Run.
