I want a VBA code in excel that will look to a value in specific cell (i.e: A1) in one sheet only and if this cell is equal to "1" for instance to hide column No 5 (which is "E") but this to be automatic, I mean if the value changed in A1 it should automatically hide/Undide that column (E) according the value in A1.
1. if type 1 in A1 column E should be hidden
2. If I type any other number column E should be visible
in that case
right click sheet tab and click view code
in the window that comes up copy this EVENT CODE
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address <> "$A$1" Then Exit Sub
If Target = 1 Then
Range("e1").EntireColumn.Hidden = True
Else
Range("e1").EntireColumn.Hidden = False
End If
End Sub
now type some number in A1. if it is 1 colum E will be hidden
if it some other number the column E will not be hidden
if you enter in any cell other than A1 nothing will happen
