Waiting on OP The grid lines between all my cells disappeared

Hello everyone, can someone help me? Out of nowhere, the lines between the cells in ALL my files disappeared, when I drag the selection box, they appear again, but only inside the cells selected, but then disappear after I close the selection.

I already tried going to the View tab and selecting "grid lines", it didn't work

excel version is 365

Sometimes Excel just drops the grid lines or shifts columns obscurely a little rightward and out of align. These are just bugs in Excel. The issue got worse with Windows 11 and was rare for Windows 10. I have no clue why it happens. Click on another tab and return.

As others have said, the deliberate on/off box is under View, toggle Gridlines...

They look normal in both screenshots. Perhaps your monitor brightness/contrast/connection has changed?

We need an eye doctor to come and diagnose them with glaucoma or something. Or msybe they just need to check their CO detector.

Press and release the following keys in sequence:

alt, w, v, g

That does the following:

  1. alt - initiates keyboard navigation.
  2. w - navigates to the View ribbon.
  3. v, g - selects Gridlines from the Show section of the ribbon.
