I have a spreadsheet that is linked to another spreadsheet in a workbook. The information comes from an export of an access query into a template in excel that I am using just to store the values, then I link the values to the appropriate field in another sheet. I was wondering is there a way to programmatically hide blank rows in this sheet starting at a specific row of the page.

I need some VBA code to hide columns in spreadsheet when run. Basically, in row 7, I've entered HIDE in the columns that I want to hide when the macro runs (i.e. columns F,J,H,I,K, O,P,R).

I have a spreadsheet that allows room for 35 students per period, but instead of having the teacher manually go in and delete the extra data and hide the rows, I want to create a macro that will do so.
In cell B4 the teacher will enter how many students are in their first period class. (cell C4 for second period, cell D4 for third etc...) I want the entering of the number to automatically hide the superfluous rows and delete the data in the second column for those rows. I don't want the rows to be completely deleted because another year they may have more students and need those rows back.
I have attached one of the workbooks that I need to put this macro into. I have created room for 35 students in a given period. So if they have 23 students entered into B4 (period one) I would need rows 30-41 to be hidden, and I would need the formulas in B30:B41, E30:E41, H30:H31, K30:K31 etc....deleted.
Basically the point of the formulas is the teacher will enter the total points possible on that given assignment in cell B6, E6, H6 etc....and it autofills that score down, so the teacher only enters those that missed points instead of entering in the missed ones and the 100 percent ones.
I would need those formulas to be deleted because if the assignment was out of 10 then cell B30-B41 will give students a 10, and then the class average will be computing those scores,but those students don't exist.
But if I can't get the macro to auto delete the formulas, I will just not have those formulas in there, and the teacher can enter all scores.

I am trying to let Excel automatically hide unneeded columns. A brief description:
In this sheet one should enter a number of "projects" into cell DW7 (7,127). The maximum number of projects is 60. Each project consists of 2 columns (with already prepared formats and functions). The projects are numbered from 1 to 60 (the actual project number is in Cell G6 (6,7), I6 (6,9)...).
For this purpose I wrote the following
Sub worksheet_calculate() 'Hide columns that are not needed
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Dim i As Integer
Dim r As Integer
i = 1
For r = 6 To 126
If Cells(6, r + i) > Cells(7, 127) Then
Columns(r).EntireColumn.Hidden = True
End If
If Cells(6, r + i) <= Cells(7, 127) Then
Columns(r).EntireColumn.Hidden = False
End If..................

I am trying to automatically hide columns based on dates. I have a set of dates ranging from the beginning of August this year until the end of December 2019. I am trying to hide all columns that are at least a day ahead of the current date. Today on 8/4/13 it would show all columns up until today along with tomorrow 8/5/13.
8/1/2013
8/2/2013

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Column <> 13 Then Exit Sub
If InStr(Target.Value, "Other (specify in next column)") Then
Columns("N").Hidden = False
ElseIf WorksheetFunction. CountIf(Columns("M"), "Other (specify in next column)") = 0 Then
Columns("N").Hidden = True
End If
End Sub
but I have a lot of columns that I need to perform as above and I have put the code together as below
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
On Error Resume Next
If Target.Column = 13 And InStr(Target.Value, "Other (specify in next column)") Then
Columns("N").Hidden = False
ElseIf WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Columns("M"), "Other (specify in next column)") = 0 Then.................
Using the above code, when I selected more than one cell anywhere in my workbook and pressed delete I was bugging out with a runtime error 13 message. You can see from the above code that I inserted "On Error Resume Next" - this got rid of the runtime error 13 message, but now when I select more than one cell and press delete, hidden columns are incorrectly revealed in my worksheet. how I can extend the working code at the top of this posting so that it works for a number of different columns in my Worksheet i.e. without the runtime error 13 occurring and without columns being incorrectly revealed.

Using two Combo Boxes, I am trying to create an drop down outline form input sheet.
What it does is if you select the first selection in the combo box 1, then it hides certain rows, and deletes certain cells. If you select the second option in the combo box 1, it shows another combo box (2) which has another list of categories.
When I select the option 2 on the combo box 1, it unhides a bunch of rows, and activates combo box 2. However, when I try to select categories on combo box 2, each time it tries to hide/unhide rows I get this message "Unable to set the hidden property of the range class." I have no idea whats going on.
Here is my ....

I have a simple spreadsheet to track my mileage. It has a column calculating miles driven since the last fill-up. The "miles driven" formula is simply =B4-B3 (current odometer reading minus previous odometer reading.)
Until I input my current odometer reading, the following row's "miles driven" column displays the previous odometer reading as negative value. Example:
ROW 2: Current Odometer Reading = 53,000
ROW 3: Current Odometer Reading = 53,200; Miles Driven = 200
ROW 4: Current Odometer Reading = blank (awaiting input); Miles Driven displays as -53,200
ROW 5: Current Odometer Reading = blank (awaiting input); Miles Driven = blank
How do I hide that negative value & just display a blank cell?
I know how to keep other types of error values from displaying (zero values, #DIV0!, etc.)how to hide this single pesky negative.

I am making a database system that tracks student activity in my schools lab for people taking foreign language courses. I'm trying to make it so students must use the userform to manage they're checking in and out, and not be able to have any direct access to the Spreadsheet itself. Also, it would be nice if the whole Spreadsheet was hidden, invisible, and only the user forms could be seen.

I have a program that creates a query of data into two different spreadsheets.I wish to create a master page that automatically searches for data in each of two spreadsheets and add them appropriately to the master page.
I get how to do such thing using vlookup to search for data in one spreadsheet, how to do that in two spreadsheet situation.Here is a formula that I am stuck on...
=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet1!$A$2:$B$3,2,0)),VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet2!$A$2:$B$3,2,0),VLOOKUP(A2,sheet1:$A$2:$B$3,2,0))

Is there a way I can have my file, when opened, have the ribbons along the top of the screen automatically hidden from view, and unaccessible by the user, no matter who opens the file.
If there is a way, is there also a way that a single user (the creator) be able to over-ride this, and therefore have access to the ribbons for editing purposes.

I've got a master spreadsheet grabbing data from 12-13 different tabs/spreadsheets.
One of those has a table, and I was wondering:
Is it possible for the master spreadsheet to automatically add a new line every time someone adds a new line and creates a new entry in a different spreadsheet?
In other words,
If there is a table in the master spreadsheet, and someone adds a new line, is there a formula which allows the master spreadsheet to add a new line in order to autopopulate?

I have a Spreadsheet with five columns. The column headings begins in rows 3 and 4(merged), these are Reg.#, Rank, First Name, Last Name and Station respectively.
The 5 row is used as a filter row. Therefore my Data Range is from A6:E505. So far I have input some data up to row 25.
Problem: Each time I input data I have to sort manually, I need a VBA Code to paste to automatically sort by Last Name even as I continue to input data in the other rows.

I have a master spreadsheet that I hold data relating to an event, the spreadsheet lists various companies names and contact details that I will need to the event and also what function they will provide by yes/no boxes. the data is currently spread all over the spreadsheet but I suppose it could be linked into some sort of simple table.
I then have to email or telex all the companies and request their assistance. Can excel automate this task? I know it can write an individual letter but could it write one message to all requesting exactly what I need that I could cut and paster to the application I would use to transmit the request?
Also when the list of Companies ends can the message move onto the next part.ie if there was a list of 4 Companies to use the message would start "Attn: Co1 / Co2 / Co3 / Co4" but if there was only 2 I would want "Attn: Co1 / Co2" only I currently get "Attn: Co1 / Co2 / /" For example
if the "catering" column and "water" column has "yes" but the "marquee" column has "no" as a check could it write "Please provide catering and water" BUT if all three columns were "yes" could it make it "Please provide catering, water and marquee" ?

I would like to be able to use the before save event to hide some sheets before the save then after unhide some sheets. So that the user carrys on with the sheets they had before saving but when the document is reopened the correct sheets are hidden.
This is what I have so far but unfortunately when you click close and then save changes it runs the before save code and then goes around in circles, reasking the user if they want to save changes
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim ws As Worksheet
Cancel = True
Application.EnableEvents = False
Sheets("Protected Content").Visible = True
For Each ws In Worksheets
If ws. Name <> "Protected Content" Then ws.Visible = False
Next ws
Me.Save
For Each ws In Worksheets
ws.Visible = True
Next ws
Sheets("Protected Content").Visible = False
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

I use a spreadsheet (FY-2012) to track approx 700 work requests. I enter the work request number (name of the spreadsheet) in column A, which is hyperlinked to the actual work request spreadsheet. I would like to automatically fill in this cell with the information entered in cell J42 of the work request entered in column A. Cell A5 of the tracker "FY-2012" indicates Work Request "BB-12003". Cell D5 of the tracker "FY-2012" indicates the completion date. I would like to extract the completion date entered in cell "J42" of Work Request "BB-12003" and have it automatically fill in Cell D5 of the tracker "FY-2012".

I am making a template for my company to automatically calculate the amount of sheet metal needed for a specific job. The spreadsheet could get very long depending on how much duct is needed. Is there any way I can automatically insert rows to the end of the sheet by pressing enter after filling the last row with data, which would then move the totals down. Also, the formatting of the rows I wish to add need to be copies of the ones above.

I have two linked workbooks, one containing a large data table, and the other containing individual worksheets that extract the data from the large table via HLOOKUP equations in each cell.
Is there a way to have Excel hide the row of a worksheet if the resulting HLOOKUP result in the cell in that row is empty? Also, if there is data in the cell, can I get Excel to automatically adjust the row height based in the incoming data and not on the HLOOKUP equation?

I am trying to implement the following:
After the user selects something using the validation list in cell F38, the macro should check in column Q in the rows 44 till 425 for "hide". For each row in which it finds "hide" the entire row should be hidden.
I have the code below but it does't work yet. It calculates for ages and afterwards only the first 2 rows of the 381 are hidden (probably because the third row is not "hide").
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim MyRange As Range
Dim ThisCell As Range
Target = Range("F38")

I have a set of 3,000 data points. The data is in one second intervals, however I am interested in seeing what the data looks like in a graph if I only had a point every minute. I have the following set up.
A B C
TIME X Y
What I want to do is to leave the first cell unhidden, and then hide the next 59. And then repeat this so I narrow the data down to one second each. I'm looking to do this multiple times, so I can create a graph each time in order to get an idea of what the data would look like if I only had a point for every minute.
Is there a macro that I could write, that would hide every cell except every 60th one? I was thinking that I could hide it based on the time. What would the code look like if my time was in 00:00:00 format? It's increasing, so I need it to hide cells that aren't equal to XX:XX:01, for example.

Have a spreadsheet with 15 columns. In one of the columns is the name of the company and that column is not in alphabetical order. The city, state, zip code, business type and all the other pertinent data about that company is in the same row as the name of the company. My intent would be to put the company names in alphabetical order and keep all the company information in the same row as the company name.
