Nick has chosen to hide a worksheet that contains sensitive data representing information from his workbook. Which statement is correct? A. The worksheets that are hidden will retain data, but references to those worksheets will no longer function. B. The worksheets that are hidden will have their data removed C. The worksheets that are hidden will retain their data, and references will continue to function as normal. D. Do you have to unhide the worksheets to make references function correctly.

C. The worksheets that are hidden will retain their data, and references will continue to function as normal.

Extra: When you hide a worksheet in Microsoft Excel, the data on the worksheet is not deleted or removed. The worksheet is simply not visible to the user. However, all the data and references to that hidden worksheet still exist and function normally. For example, if you have a formula in another worksheet that references a cell in the hidden sheet, the formula will still calculate and display the result based on the data in the hidden sheet.

Hiding worksheets can be useful for organizing large workbooks or protecting sensitive data that you do not want readily visible. However, hiding worksheets is not a secure way to protect data, as most users with a basic knowledge of Excel can quickly figure out how to unhide a worksheet.

To hide a worksheet, you can right-click on the worksheet tab and select "Hide". To unhide it, you right-click on any worksheet tab, select "Unhide", and then choose the worksheet you want to make visible again.

It's also worth noting that while hidden worksheets provide a basic level of concealment, Excel also offers a feature to very hide a worksheet, which makes it more difficult (but not impossible) for users to unhide without knowing the appropriate VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) code to reveal it.
