Unable to expand cells in Microsoft Excel

I have an odd issue that I need your help with.

Within my spreadsheet there are many cells that although contain data, do not respond when I try to automatically resize them.

I've tried auto-fit, auto-hide (turning it off) etc.

Here is an image to show you what I am talking about

The only way that works is to re-size manually or double click when the re-size button displays.

I hope you can help

Thanks

Select the rows surrounding them and then right click and Unhide.
