    Hiding unhiding columns

    Hi gurus,

    I have a few spreadsheets I am using daily. One spreadsheet per customer (it contains up to 20 sheets, 1 sheet per product). All I need to do is to combine all those spreadsheets into one. But in that case it is very easy to get lost as you are handling huge amount of data. So, I made one spreadsheet (one sheet per customer with all products in it). I want to have a button for each product which would unhide the relevant to the product columns. I have made a very visual dummy example. It will tell you more.
    Any help will be much apreciated.

    Thanks a ton guys!

    This code works but thereis a hitch.
    Each Product box you have I named, for example:
    In worksheet Customer3, each product box's range is named from Product1....Product10.
    Doing it like this may become very tedius depending on the amount of products and the
    the amount of customers. But, it does work.

    Repeat for each button and then it is done. Honestly, I like this idea and it is visually appealing but, I think it would require a lot of named ranges and therefore a lot of work to make it work. Once working though, it will look good. I couldn't upload the workbook because I am using 2003 and it won't save with macros.

    Create Custom Views for each table, then record a macro to Hide?unhide the views individually
