How can a hidden worksheet display its data?

A hidden worksheet typically displays its data when triggered by a specific user action, such as drilling down. This means that the hidden worksheet will reveal itself and present its data in response to an interactive action taken by the user. For example, in data analysis tools, users can often drill down into specific data points to see more detailed information contained in a hidden worksheet, making it accessible only when needed.

This approach allows for a cleaner and more organized workbook by hiding complex data that might overwhelm the user at first glance. The data remains accessible without cluttering the user interface, ensuring that only relevant information is presented until the user decides to dive deeper.

The other options do not accurately reflect how hidden worksheets function in most software environments. For instance, a hidden worksheet does not automatically display data upon opening a workbook, nor is it always visible if not modified. Additionally, just requesting all data usually does not imply that hidden worksheets will reveal their contents unless the software is specifically designed to do so based on user interactions.
