Unhide an Excel column

Use jetformat excel unhide-column to unhide an Excel column.

By Jetformat

Choose the column letter and worksheet name. Unhiding restores display of existing cells; it does not recreate a deleted column.

Steps

  1. Start with a local XLSX. Replace the sample paths and identifiers with your own.
  2. Run the command below. Save to a new output path so the source remains available for comparison.
  3. Check the result as described below before using it in another job.
jetformat excel unhide-column finance.xlsx --sheet Summary --column A -o visible.xlsx

Options for this task

Option Meaning
--column Column letter, for example A
--output Output XLSX path (required)
--sheet Worksheet name (required)

Check the result

Open the output and read representative values in the restored column.

Notes and limits

Writing an Office document uses one credit per command. See the billing guide for the current rules.

The examples keep the original file. Add --force only when you intend to overwrite an existing output. Run jetformat excel unhide-column --help to compare options with your installed version.

See the excel command reference for the surrounding workflow.
