With mine it is swipe/scroll to the left if I want to see the first tab. I've never heard of a sheet disappearing from the list of sheet tabs but there's a first for everything.


If that doesn't work, in one of your other sheets create a formula reference to a cell on the missing sheet. Something like =Sheet 1::Table 1::A1 . Accept the formula. Click on the cell to bring up the formula. Click on the cell reference. It should take you to that cell and hopefully the tab for the sheet shows up.
