    Combo box selection hides columns that do not match

    Hi all,

    Need some VBA help with hiding columns based on a combo box selection. The Combo box currently has roughly 30 selections and could increase over time. I would like to have the user select a value in the comb box and the code find the cell value (text) that matches and hide all other columns.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Nick

    Re: Combo box selection hides columns that do not match

    is the combobox on a userform or on a sheet?
    Thanks,
    Solus


    Please remember the following:

    1. Use [code] code tags [/code]. It keeps posts clean, easy-to-read, and maintains VBA formatting.
    Highlight the code in your post and press the # button in the toolbar.
    2. Show appreciation to those who have helped you by clicking below their posts.
    3. If you are happy with a solution to your problem, mark the thread as [SOLVED] using the tools at the top.

    You can try this. Assuming your combobox is named ComboBox1.

    Solus,

    I have copied your code in, when I select a value in the combobox it does not hide the non-associated columns. However if you select the blank part of the drop down it will hide column A.
