A macro to hide rows

[Matthew]

All

A simple one but my brain hurts....

I have a worksheet, col B has a list of 4 distince numbers.
All I want is a simple way of hiding the other 3 when the user selects
their number.

eg data is in rows 4 and below. Each row in col B has 720,730,740,750
as an identifier.

All I want is that if you put 720 in A1 it then shows only rows with
720 in A1.

I would like this to be 'automatic' ie no filters etc

Each row is 30 odd columns wide so a macro would be good as each col
has a formular in it.

Thanks

Matthew

Put the folloowing evennt macro in the worksheet.code area:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim v As Integer
If Intersect(Target, Range("A1")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
v = Target.Value
n = Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
Set rr = Range("B4:B" & n)
For Each r In rr
If r.Value = v Then
Else
r.EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If
Next
End Sub


Because it is worksheet code, it is very easy to install and use:

1. right-click the tab name near the bottom of the window
2. select View Code - this brings up a VBE window
3. paste the stuff in and close the VBE window

If you save the workbook, the macro will be saved with it.

To remove the macro:

1. bring up the VBE windows as above
2. clear the code out
3. close the VBE window

Even tho you said NO filters maybe you will like the speed of the
filter withOUT indicator "visibledropdown=false"

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Count > 1 Or _
Target.Address <> Range("a1").Address Then Exit Sub
lr = Cells(Rows.Count, "b").End(xlUp).Row
Range("b1:b1" & lr).AutoFilter Field:=1, _
Criteria1:=Target, Visibledropdown:=False
End Sub

Both work a treat.

One thing I missed out is that i would need it to change each time a
new number is dropped into A1. currently both sollutions hide to the
point there is nothing left to see....

I'm guessing an extra line somewhere to unhide ?
