The above method can only display/hide the Row & Column headings in one worksheet at a time. But sometimes, you need to display/hide the Row & Column headings in all worksheets.

Here I will introduce Kutools for Excel's View Options utility to batch display/hide the Row & Column headings in all worksheets together.
1. Click Kutools > Show / Hide > View Options.
2. In the opening View Options dialog box, please uncheck the Rows & column headers option to hide the headings, and then click the Apply to all sheets button and Ok button successively. See screenshot:
Notes:
(1) For displaying the Row & column headings, please check the Rows & column headers option;
