hide or unhide rows with button

I want to group rows together and have a quick expand/collapse button on the
sheet itself. I see the group/outline function but do not like the display of
the expand/collapse in the left side of the rows.

You could put a button from the control toolbox toolbar on that worksheet.
Double click on that button and you'll see where the code goes.

Paste this in that window and end up with something that looks like this.

Option Explicit
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim myRng As Range

Set myRng = Me.Range("a3:a5,a7:a19,a22:a33")

myRng.EntireRow.Hidden = Not (myRng(1).EntireRow.Hidden)

End Sub

Adjust the range you want to hide/show

There is also Views>Custom Views if you don't want to go the macro route.

Gord - Thanks for your help. Can you use a button with the Custom Views? I
could not figure that one out.

Not really.

You can go to Tools>Customize>Commands>View.

Drag the Custom Views drop-down onto your Toolbar.

You can choose which view from the drop-down.

Possible to have many custom views, each with a distinct name like "hidden"
"unhidden" "group1" etc.

Sometimes you can just record a macro while you do it manually.

I got this when I showed the view named Test1.

Option Explicit
Sub Macro1()
ActiveWorkbook.CustomViews("test1").Show
End Sub


Behind a commandbutton from the control toolbox toolbar:

Option Explicit
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Me.Parent.CustomViews("test1").Show
End Sub

Me is the worksheet that owns the code (and button). Me.Parent is the workbook.
