some missing gridlines

I've been fooling around with the new version of Excel. While I was checking
my data I had some lines highlighted and some lines with different coloured
fonts. Once I had finished checking, I selected all and removed the
highlights and font colours so everything looks uniform (no highlights, all
black font). However, the background gridlines have disappeared from some
cells (but not all cells).

I went through Excel Options > Advanced > checked gridlines.

In the Show/Hide box on the ribbon (?), gridlines is also ticked.

Why are some of the gridlines missing?

How can I get them back?!?!?

Thanks,

buggirl
 
If you set the cell background or pattern to "white" instead of "no
color" this will cover up the grid lines.
 
Thank you! A simple answer - wonderful!

THANK YOU! I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND TRIED THINGS ON MY OWN WITH NO SUCCESS. YOUR TIP WORKED IN 1 SECOND! JAN
 
Hi!!
My Grid lines appear and disappear when I scroll up and down. I downloaded it to excel and some lines are gone and some aren't. Do you have any other tips for me? I went through all the boxes and reset the color so none are white.
