Thank you for the A2A. You can hide all of the sheets except the active one by copying the following code into your Visual Basic Editor.
- Sub HideAllSheets()

When you call this macro, the routine sets up a For loop that will go through each sheet in the workbook with a name that is not equal to the active sheet name and assigns to it the very hidden attribute.
You can modify this code to unhide all of the sheets. Copy the following code into the Visual Basic Editor.
[code]Sub UnhideAllSheets(...

To make all sheets except the active sheet in an Excel workbook very hidden (which means they cannot be made visible through the Excel interface), you can use VBA (Visual Basic for Applications). Here’s how you can do this:
Steps to Make Sheets Very Hidden
- Open the Excel Workbook: Open the workbook where you want to hide the sheets.
- Open the VBA Editor:
- PressALT + F11
to open the Visual Basic for Applications editor. - Insert a New Module:
- In the VBA editor, right-click on any of the objects for your workbook in the Project Explorer.
- SelectInsert
>Module
. This will create a new mod

to open the Visual Basic for Applications editor. - Insert a New Module:
- In the VBA editor, right-click on any of the objects for your workbook in the Project Explorer.
- SelectInsert
>Module
. This will create a new module. - Add the VBA Code:
- Copy and paste the following code into the module:
```vba
Sub HideOtherSheets()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim activeSheetName As String
- activeSheetName = ActiveSheet.Name
- For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
- If ws.Name <> activeSheetName Then
- ws.Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
- End If
- Next ws
End Sub
```
- Run the Code:
- Close the VBA editor.
- PressALT + F8
to open the Macro dialog box.
- SelectHideOtherSheets
and clickRun
.
Explanation of the Code
- The code defines a subroutine called
HideOtherSheets
. - It retrieves the name of the currently active sheet.
- It loops through all worksheets in the workbook, checking if the name of each sheet is different from the active sheet.
- If it is different, it sets the visibility of that sheet to
xlSheetVeryHidden
.
Unhiding Very Hidden Sheets
To make the sheets visible again, you can use the following code in the same or a different module:
- Sub UnhideAllSheets()
- Dim ws As Worksheet
- For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
- ws.Visible = xlSheetVisible
- Next ws
- End Sub
Important Notes
- Saving the Workbook: Make sure to save your workbook as a macro-enabled file (
.xlsm
) to retain the VBA code. - Accessing Very Hidden Sheets: You cannot unhide very hidden sheets through the Excel interface; you must use VBA to change their visibility back to visible.
This approach effectively hides all sheets except the one you are currently working on!
- Dim sh As Worksheet
- For Each sh In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
- If Not sh Is ActiveSheet Then
- sh.Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
- End If
- Next sh
- Begin by pressing and holding the [Ctrl] key while selecting the sheets to be hidden. In the sample ‘Sheet1’ and ‘Sheet2’ were selected (See ‘A’ and ‘B’ below).
- Right-click on the already selected sheet names (Again ‘A’ or ‘B’) and choose the [Hide] command (See ‘C’).
- The result is as shown below (See ‘D’)
HINT: To remove the hidden sheets right-click on a remaining sheet and choose the [Unhide] command (See ‘E’ and ‘F’)

Not sure what you mean by "very hidden". Right click any tab and select hide and the sheet disappears. Repeat for all tabs you don't want to see. You can also click on one tab and shift click on the last tab and hide a whole set of tabs at once (or control click the other tabs if they are not next to each other). The only tab(sheet) left open has to be the active one (you can't hide the all sheets, one has to be left unhidden).
You can do with VBA.
Sub HideSheets ()
Dim sht As Worksheet
For Each sht in ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If sht.Name<>Activesheet.Name Then
sht.Visible=False
Next
End Sub
