copied!<p>Welcome to Stack Overflow. Sometimes, the macro recorder is your friend.</p> <p>I recorded a macro of myself hiding columns E through H. Here was the recorded code:</p> <pre><code>Sub Macro1() ' ' Macro1 Macro ' Macro recorded 7/17/2012 by Jimmy Peña ' ' Columns("E:H").Select Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = True End Sub </code></pre> <p>The Select/Selection pair is a clear indication that I can concatenate these two lines. I shorten the code like this:</p> <p><code>Columns("E:H").EntireColumn.Hidden = True</code></p> <p>Since the property takes a value of <code>True</code>, I know that I can hide columns by setting the value to <code>True</code> and show columns by setting the value to <code>False</code>.</p> <p>Since you haven't shown the code you are using, I'll provide a generic approach which you will need to customize for your use.</p> <p>I added a listbox to a sample userform. This code will selectively hide/unhide depending on which value is selected.</p> <pre><code>Private Sub ListBox1_Click() Dim selectedValue As String ' get selected value from listbox selectedValue = ListBox1.value Application.ScreenUpdating = False ' unhide any columns Cells.EntireColumn.Hidden = False Select Case selectedValue Case "JAN" Columns("E:H").EntireColumn.Hidden = True Case "FEB" Columns("I:M").EntireColumn.Hidden = True Case "MARCH" Columns("N:R").EntireColumn.Hidden = True Case "APRIL" Columns("S:W").EntireColumn.Hidden = True Case "MAY" Columns("X:AB").EntireColumn.Hidden = True Case "JUNE" Columns("AC:AG").EntireColumn.Hidden = True End Select Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Sub </code></pre>
