What does conditionally hidden mean in a worksheet?

Conditionally hidden refers to the ability to control the visibility of columns within a worksheet based on specific criteria or conditions that are set by the user. When a column is conditionally hidden, it means that it can be programmed to appear or disappear depending on certain variables or triggers such as user input, selection, or underlying data values.

For instance, if the condition dictates that a column should only be visible when a certain value is present in another column, the users will only see that column when the condition is met. This functionality allows for a more tailored and focused view of the data, enabling users to work more effectively with the relevant information without distraction from other data that may not be pertinent to their current task or analysis.

The other options describe scenarios that do not accurately reflect the concept of conditional visibility. They either imply a static view where columns are always visible or never visible, or they suggest restricted access based solely on the creator of the columns, which does not align with the dynamic and criteria-based nature of conditionally hidden columns.
