VBA: How to Unhide One or Multiple Rows

This tutorial explains how to unhide one or more rows in Excel using VBA.

You can download the following dataset to practice.

This code Rows("row number").Hidden = False unhides the particular row.

In this example we will try to unhide the 5th row of a given data set.

Sub UnhideSingleRow()
    Dim ws As Worksheet

    Set ws = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet
       ws.Rows(5).Hidden = False
End Sub

Press Run or F5 to run the above code.

We want to unhide all the rows that are arranged continuously (one after another). The following code unhides rows from 5 to 7.

Sub UnhideMultipleRows()
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    
    Set ws = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet
        ws.Rows("5:7").Hidden = False
End Sub

Press Run or F5 to run the above code.

Let's unhide 3rd, 5th and 7th row of a given data set. To do this we take an array that stores the specific row numbers and then with the help of For Each loop we can apply ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Rows(rowNum).Hidden = False on each row number.

Sub UnhideSpecificRows()
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    Dim rowNum As Variant
    
    Set ws = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet
    For Each rowNum In Array(3, 5, 7)
       ws.Rows(rowNum).Hidden = False
    Next rowNum
End Sub

Press Run or F5 to run the above code.
