Your Excel file is called a workbook, and it can contain a varying amount of worksheets. The worksheets are the spreadsheet grids into which you type your data, and many situations can call for you to have multiple active worksheets within a workbook. Typically you can navigate between these worksheets by clicking the sheet tabs at the bottom of the window.
But the worksheet tabs can be hidden in Excel 2010, making it a little more difficult to work on other worksheets. Fortunately a worksheet that is hidden in Excel 2010 can also be unhidden, and you can follow our short guide below to learn how to do so in Excel 2010.
