SHORT CUT KEY(S) TO SHOW OR HIDE SEETS IN EXCEL

I want to create a short cut key(s) to be able to show or hide sheets I have
in a work book, it is on the format menu on tile bar but want to make it
quicker.

How about a button that you can just click--not traverse through menus?

If yes,

Tools|customize (just to see that menu)
click on Format, then Sheet
ctrl-click on the Hide icon and drag to a nice position on a toolbar.

Just in case you break it while playing...

Tools|Customize|toolbars tab
select worksheet menu bar
click reset

(You'll lose any changes to that toolbar, though.)

(Or ctrl-click and drag it back to its previous location.)

ALT + o,h,h to hide the active sheet.

ALT + o,h,u and select the sheet to unhide.

Or using a macro assigned to a short key combo........

Sub SheetHide()
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.Visible = False
End Sub

To unhide all hidden sheets..........

Sub Show_Sheets()
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.Count
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(i).Visible = True
Next i
End Sub
