    Smile Unhide column dependent on autofilter selection

    Hi all,

    I was wondering if I could ask for some help, basically is it possible to unhide a column dependent on what I choose from an autofilter. In this case all I need is to select the number 8 from the autofilter (which consists of numbers 1:9) and it to unhide columns S:U.

    So when I clear the autofilter or choose a different number from the filter the columns S:U automatically hide themselves again.

    I hope I have made myself clear if not please say.

    Thanks any help will be much appreciated as it has been bugging me for ages!

    Hi,

    Here is one way,

    In ThisWorkBook Mod Place this open workbook code

    Then Place This in the worksheet your filter is on.

    This will force the sheet to calculate forcing the script to fire. Here is a test book as well.

    Re: Unhide column dependent on autofilter selection

    Hi Real -

    Thanks that was fantastic really helpfull - quick question if I click on for example filter selection 8 - and it unhides the corresponding columns fantastic! Then I click on select all within the filter or clear the filter so that it shows all numbers 1 to 9 it continues to show unhidden columns instead of hiding them again. Is there a way to prevent this from happening without having to click on a seperate number first and then selecting all - if that makes sense?

    Thanks so much for all your help

I have multiple autofilters however only need it to funvtion on one I think thats may be why I am getting the error is there a way to specify the filter cell within the code?

    Re: Unhide column dependent on autofilter selection

    Hi Real - me again, I even get the runtime error on your sheet when I select multiple options in the autofilter including number 8. For example select 8,5,4,3,2,1 and i get a runtime error 13 and it highlights this part of the code: If .Criteria1 Like "*8"

    Thanks
