Gridlines are light grey color lines that show up between rows and columns. These lines make it easier to distinguish the content of adjacent cells. But if we design application interfaces or templates sometimes these gridlines can have a negative effect on the appearance. In this lesson I will show you how to remove these gridlines from an Excel sheet.
Here is a simple data entry application interface designed on an Excel sheet.
We have used a fill color and outlines for the data input area. But we can further improve the appearance if we remove the gridlines.
To remove the gridlines, first go to the “VIEW” tab of the Excel ribbon.
In the “Show” group, uncheck the “Gridlines” checkbox.
This is how the application interface looks like after removing the gridlines.
