When a cell has the "hidden" property enabled it just hides the cell contents
in the formula bar.

It will still show up in the cell itself so don't think this is OP's problem.

Why do you think data is hidden?

Do you see anything in the formula bar when you select a cell?

Are your row numbers and column letters consecutive or some missing?

If so, hit CTRL + A(twice in xl2003) and right-click on a row or column header
and "unhide".

OR..........Perhaps both Cyber's "hidden" and a custom format of ;;;

Select the cells and go to FormatCellsProtection and clear the Hidden
checkbox. You may als be dealing with a sheet that has been Protected, in
which case that option will not be active. If so, go to
ToolsProtectionUnprotect Sheet first. If you don't get prompted for a
Password you should then be able to change the Hidden property. If there is a
Password prompt & you don't have the password you'll need to contact whoever
supplied you with the file.

Good Luck |:)
