I just purchased Excel 2024 and noticed that I can't completely hide the ribbon at the top of Excel. In Excel 2019, there was a box in the top right with and up arrow that you could click and the Auto hide the tope ribbon. In Excel 2024 it is gone and the only thing I see is "Collapse the ribbon but there still is a good inch of stuff at the top (like the Excel logo, save button). see attached photo. I just want to see what I did in Excel 2019 and that is the letters at the top of each column. Is this possible in Excel 2024?

Can Excel fill bagel flavors?
You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK
Posting so I can follow and learn something. I've never seen this done without using code. Minimize yes, but not hide. How would you get it back?
Are you sure you're not thinking of the option to hide the QAT?

In excel 2019, there is a button in the top right that allows you to auto hide the entire ribbon and you could also show just tabs or show tabs and commands . In really early versions of Excel, you could do View-Fullpage. However, in Excel 2024 they only allow you to collapse the ribbon - so some it still shown. I managed to get rid of this by using the following simple macros:

Sub GoFullScreen()
Application.DisplayFullScreen = True
End Sub

Sub ExitFullScreen()
Application.DisplayFullScreen = False
End Sub

Unless I'm missing something??

The full screen view is still available as a button that you can add to the Ribbon/QAT

For me, the QAT disappears when going full screen, so how could that work?
