Columns Appear To Be Hidden But Will Not Respond To Unhide Or Width Change
Oct 6, 2013
I have just been sent a strange file, which I have attached, on its only sheet columns "A" and "B" have data entered in them, but they are not visible. You can access them if you select column "C" and use the left arrow key, but all attempts at unhiding and changing the column width are fuitless.
I have tried selecting the ENTIRE sheet, then Home>Format>Unhide Columns but it does nothing I try selecting the entire sheet, then Home>Format>Column Width and setting it to something, like "20", but again it is fruitless.
I even tried using a macro in the "Immediate Window" to ask Excel whether the columns are hidden (by using "?Columns(1).Hidden" and it returned "False") then I used a similar macro ("Cells.EntireColumn.ColumnWidth = 12.75") and again - nothing! :O

I have a macro that allows me to select a range of columns and unhide any that are hidden. I am on the sheet "Employees", but the action happens on the sheet "Enter". I can run this macro when I am on "Employees" and jumps top "Enter" and works exactly as I want it to.
Code:
Sheets("Enter").Select
Columns("B:T").Select
Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = False
Range("M8") = Sheets("Employees").Range("B5")
Range("I7").Select
But when I try to run it as part of another macro that begins on "Employees", I get "Run-time error '1004': Select method of Range class failed", and Columns("B:T") is highlighted.

find if there is a way to unhide in one step a specific column from hidden range of columns...
Assume columns D..H are hidden, now how can I unhide column G alone or column F alone and so on.

how I would create an event macro that will synchronise the zoom % of 2 sheets?
E.g. if I change the zoom on sheet1 to 80% then sheet2 automatically change to the same? And the same the other way round...?

I have recorded macro.
What I am trying to achieve is ....
When I select cell A2 and press command button Then - Columns C, D, E are unhidden
-Relative cells in selected row ( in this case C2,D2,E2) change font to 12
- When command button is pressed then C,D,E are hidden and font size goes back to 1
similarly if i select A3 same should happen to C3,D3,E3
Currently all is OK but when I press command button it all happens with the entire column C,D,E
Sample book attached.
Code is as follows:

I am trying to create a macro to unhide only a row at a time, from around 150 hidden rows altogether. It is basically to give the effect of adding extra rows to a "table" that a user could then input with new data (I have to do this way according to other set-up in the workbook), but this isn't very important to do with this question. When I do a Format<Row<Unhide from the Excel menu, it always unhides ALL of the hidden rows. I have fiddled around but can't seem to find a way to avoid this happening, all I want is for just one row to unhide. I thought it might depend what cell/s I had highlighted, but I haven't found a way that makes it work.

I HID 4 rows using this help section. (Format - Hide)
Then, I modified several column widths simply by placing my curser at the top of the column and pulling it smaller or larger.
(I don't know if this did or did not cause my problem) which is simply that - I am now unable to find my hidden rows.
I know where they are supposed to be, but when I highlight them and click (Format - Unhide) nothing happens.
I tried (Find and Select - go to special) and no white bar shows up.
Can sombody please tell this frustrated Newby How to find the rows I just hid 1 hour ago?
If I posted in the wrong place, I appologise as I spent more time trying to figure out where and how to post than I did trying to solve my hidden row problem.

I've unlocked it fine, revealed formulas etc, but it doesn't make sense so must be a hidden formula stopping people like me from unlocking the hidden treasures!!!!
At the moment it stops at column V and I can't get it to unhide any further???
Used the edit, go to, etc won't go.
Deleted all code in vb I can see or find
Tried clicking on all sheet and unhide
Nothing!?

Is it possible to change the Left and Width parameters of a group of TextBoxes in a For/Next loop, when the only common factor is the amount of change? The TextBoxes ar of different widths and locations. The common factor is a small TextBox the left of each TextBox which is what I am hiding under certain conditions. When hidden I need to move the TextBoxes over to where the hidden TextBox was and then enlarge the TextBox by the widt of the heddin TextBox (When the condition changes, I will resore the orginal positions and sizes).
vba did not like this bit of code in a For/Next loop:
Me.Controls("TB" & i).Left.Value = Me.Controls("TB" & i).Left.Value - 24
Me.Controls("TB" & i).Width.Value = Me.Controls("TB" & i).Width.Value + 24

How do I write a short piece of code that defines the specific height and width that I want to assign to an existing chart. The code will be added to existing code that I have that formats the chart in other ways. This needs to be able to work with any active chart selected, not a specific named chart.

I have vba code to change column width and height into mm.
The code is taking alot of time to run and then hangs my excel session.
The code below calls two sub routines.
Sub Change()
Dim i As Long
With Application
.DisplayAlerts = False
. ScreenUpdating = False
End With
For i = 1 To 23
SetColumnWidthMM i, 3.5
Next i
End Sub...

1. Is there a faster way to adjust the size of the columns? I had to use my mouse to stretch the column out. This can be quiet time consuming if there are 8 columns needing to adjust to the same size. ie Col A, B,I, J needs to be the same size.
2. Can Excel determine the best size for the column? Say I need a column with data saying "yes" and "no" and a column for the letter "X" only or do I have to stretch the width of the column myself?

I'm trying to use the following loop to increment the column width of a range of columns thus:
Code:
NewWidth = 0
WidthIncrement = 0.5
For MyCount = 1 To 26
NewWidth = NewWidth + WidthIncrement
Cells(1, MyCount).EntireColumn.ColumnWidth = NewWidth
Next
If I set WidthIncrement to be an integer value, the code works correctly. If, however, I make it something like 0.1, all the column widths that the loop acts on are set to 0. I suspect it's something to do with how I'm declaring the NewWidth and WidthIncrement variables - they're currently set to Double. I know that I can have decimal values for column widths (e.g. 8.43)

I need to fixed width-text to column macro and found a reply in the forum.
However, when I apply the macro, the result of zeros in front of figures disappear since the format of value in splitted column doesn't predefined as text
e.g. sample text to split to column:
000122042009ABCDEFG00567
Required result:
0001|22042009|ABCDEFG|00567
when running below macro; result shows:
1|22042009|ABCDEFG|567
(Beginning zeros figures of the first and last column disappear)

I'm using Excel 2007 and my objective is to setup a trading log that tracks my performance with charts that dynamically update to applied custom date range filters. The link below shows screenshots of what I'm trying to emulate with Excel 2007.
[url]
I have all my trading data laid out in a tabular format simlar to what is shown in the top screenshot. My tabular layout differs in that it includes 4 additional columns. My chronological data layout I'm using seems to be troublesome for conventional Excel charting methods.
When I apply custom filters for open dates and close dates, my Excel charts do not dynamically react. What I have determined is that I need to bypass the conventional charting methods used in Excel and focus instead on using Charts that rely on a VBA script or a formula. My objective is to have multiple charts (like the ones shown in the screenshots link above) all using the same data nested in my tabular trading log.
Can anyone out there help me out with setting up Charts that are more robust? I would appreciate example VBA scripts and / or links that will show me how to setup charts that dynamically react to custom Excel Filters, and can group together matching data sets in a column and show such data sets as a single slice in a pie chart. Currently, I'm getting multiple pie slices for the same data set. I need a formula or a VBA script that will clump together all of the data that belongs in the same group and show it as a single slice in a pie chart.

The attached sample workbook has a listbox of areas in a userform. The Textbox on the user form is so that the user can edit the Area names in the listbox. The userform functions fine as long as the column that contains the area name is not hidden. What I want to be able to do is edit the Area Names using the Textbox with the area name column hidden.

The workbook contains 5 worksheets, 4 of which will unhidden just fine; the remaining worksheet ("AnnualBudget" refuses to unhide columns AD to IV. Of course, this is the sheet that contains data in those hidden cells and I cannot get to the data. The sheet is unprotected and all freeze panes removed.
I have copied this sheet to a new sheet in the same workbook:
If I copy only formulas and number formats, the new sheet has all columns unhidden. If I copy formats, I have the same issue with the new worksheet. It’s like these columns are forever locked from view.
FYI I am using Excel 2007 with a 2003 compatability worksheet
A copy of the workbook is attached. Any idea what’s happening?

I've come across a spreadsheet where certain rows and columns (typically top rows or left columns) are hidden; however, there's no way to unhide them (the unhide function is grayed out) and it doesn't seem to be protected or no visible macros/vba on the file.

I have a spreadsheet that has 28 columns for time entries. Typically only the first 12 columns are used, so I would like to hide the remaining 16 columns (which makes the spreadsheet much more user-friendly). It would probably be nearly impossible to teach all of them how to Unhide the remaining columns (and re-Hide), plus I would like to use the full-screen function when employees enter thier times. I would like to use a form control in the column heading so that when the employees 'check' it, it will Unhide and then re-Hide the columns. Any way to do this? Seems like a VB thing to me (out of my league, but would be happy to add one in!).
