    hide & unhide columns on different sheet based on criteria

    Hi all,

    I need a Macro that I can call with a keystroke to toggle between hiding and unhiding columns on a different sheet.

    My "view" sheet has all relevant attribute columns from the "Buy" sheet and clients can click the 'tick box' to keep columns visible or hide them. The Macro should NOT run every time they select or unselect a column, but rather whenever they are on the "Buy" sheet and use the keystroke e.g. "CTRL + SHIFT + 1", which then unhides and hides the columns just as specified on the "view" sheet.

    I have attached a sample workbook to make things more clear...

    Re: hide & unhide columns on different sheet based on criteria

    Maybe something like below? I want the code to loop through the range on sheet "view" and whenever it finds "False", hide that column on sheet "Buy".

    e.g.

    cell C6 on sheet "view" contains "False", hence column D would be hidden on sheet "Buy". Basically the second cell in range "B6:E6" on the "view" sheet, refers to the second column within the range "C:F" on the "Buy" sheet. Both ranges will obviously always have the same width.

    not so sure about this
    whenever they are on the "Buy" sheet and use the keystroke e.g. "CTRL + SHIFT + 1"
    but this code should do what you want

    take 2

    someone could fix it up so there is only 1 array...but i cant think of an easy way to do it at the moment
    so just made two seperate arrays instead

    Re: hide & unhide columns on different sheet based on criteria

    I came up with an adjustment of rorya's initial code. It seems to work, but there's probably a better way to do it!

    @humdingaling Will further try your code tomorrow, but it seems promising!

    Thanks both for your effort so far!!

    Re: hide & unhide columns on different sheet based on criteria

    my method doesnt quite work because it relies on there not being any gaps in headers like yours had
    ie column 90 jumps to 97 on the second lot of headers

    you cant really used the match formula you had in there because it doesnt account for duplicates
    ie, PH = 50 - appears 8 times

    anyways i amended the file slightly in order to work

    Re: hide & unhide columns on different sheet based on criteria

    Sorry, been without Excel for a few days!

    Thanks!! I'm still trying to get my head around how your code works. Don't understand much about LBound and UBound code (yet)

    However, it seems to do what it is supposed to do!
