Cannot Unhide Worksheets

Today I opened a spreadsheet that I haven't referenced in 6+ months. There are 2 worksheets that I know are there, but I can't make them visible.

How do I know they're there? (1) there are formulas in the worksheet I can see that references the hidden ones and (2) when I try to create a new worksheet with the same name, Excel tells me it already exists.

There are no macros in the file.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
These sheets will probably have been set to xlVeryHidden

Press alt+F11 to open the VBE, look for the project on the left and locate the hidden sheets, look at the properties for these sheets and change them to xlVisible

right click on your worksheet tab > unhide > select worksheets to unhide > ok.

Does that work for you?
If it doesn't use this code in your VBE and run it

Code:
Sub UnhideAllWorksheets()
    For i = 1 To Worksheets.Count
        Worksheets(i).Visible = True
    Next i
End Sub
