Hide rows without conditional formattingClosed

Question

Hello,

I'm creating an Excel spreadsheet and want to give it a cleaner look by hiding the contents of a row based on the value of a cell in that row. For example, I want to hide b1:p1 if the value of a1 is blank. I can do it with conditional formatting, but I have 50+ rows and I only want them to show if there is a number in a1, a2, a3 ..... and so on. So if I put 1 in a1, 2 in a2 and 3 in a3, I should have the rest of the data in those rows populate.

I had this same question, and after not finding an answer I thought I'd figure it out. 

Here's what I did
- Created a new column that gave me a value I could filter on
- Used filter feature to include/exclude the values.

For example, I wanted to "hide" the rows where the sum of columns C, J and K were zero.  So I created a new column "L" with a formula of "=SUM(C2,J2,K2)".  Then I clicked on the L1 title cell, then went to Home ribbon tab and clicked Sort & Filter --> Filter.  This allowed me to drop down that L1 title cell and remove the "0" from the list of allowed values.

Hope this helps!

In that case you should change the borders at the right top side of your screen. As far as I know.
