How to display specific rows in Excel

To show only certain rows while leaving all other hidden items invisible, use the following method.

To display a specific row, click the row header above the hidden row. For example, to display a row 6, click the title of the row 5.

Now press and hold the Shift key on your keyboard and click on the header of the row that is below the hidden row. In the example above, you’ll click the row header 7(by holding down the Shift key).

Note. Holding down the Shift key clicks the row header because this selects all the rows between the items you selected. This also selects your hidden content which you will show in the next step.

Right-click on the title of the selected row and select “Show” from the open menu.

That’s all. Excel has shown the content you selected, and now you can work with it the way you want.
