How to show the menu in Excel again

Using the ribbon in Excel, you can reach all the functions you need to create your tables and charts. If the menu is no longer displayed for some reason, you can show it again in a few steps.

2. If you want to keep the menu permanently displayed, you have to click on the arrow located in the lower right corner of the menu.
3. To customize various display options of the menu, navigate to the options.
4. To do this, click on the icon with the arrow pointing upwards in the upper right corner. This allows you to open the ribbon display options.
