Introduction
Have you ever opened an Excel file and found that the sheet tabs usually located at the bottom of the window have completely disappeared? Without them, you cannot switch between sheets, which is very inconvenient.
In this article, I will explain the steps to verify your Excel settings and make the hidden sheet tabs appear again.
Steps
1. Check Excel Settings
Click the “File” tab at the top of the menu.
2. Select “Options”
Click “Options” located at the bottom of the menu on the left side.
3. Select “Advanced”
When the “Excel Options” window opens, select “Advanced” from the left-hand menu.
4. Check Display Settings for Sheet Tabs
Scroll down the list until you find the section labeled “Display options for this workbook”. Look for the checkbox labeled “Show sheet tabs”.
- If this box is unchecked, the tabs will not appear.
- Check the box and click “OK”.
Conclusion
The sheet tabs should now be visible again.
If the sheet tabs are still not visible after trying this, it is possible that the window size or display area is too narrow, or the horizontal scroll bar is covering them. Please try maximizing the window or adjusting the separator between the tabs and the scroll bar.
