Printing selective rows

I have a spreadsheet with inventory data in it and I want to selectively hide rows. Essentially, I do not want rows to print that have zero in the quantity column (let's use column 1 in this example).

My thought was to create a macro that would go to A1, test it for zero, hide the row if it is zero, and go down to the next row. It should end when it comes to the word "end" in a cell.

Problem is: I don't know how to write Excel macros. Any ideas? Thanks.

You don't really need to do this via a macro. Why not use data filtering? From the main menu, select Data|Filter|AutoFilter. You can then specify to show non-zero values. If you need any help with this just let me know.

PS - you should post this question in the "Macro Questions" section since this forum is only for testing. At least that's my understanding

I can hardly blame the OP: Cross-postings & wrong choice of category in which to post will be our biggest problem with the new board, I'm afraid, and endless space consuming remarks pointing out these 'mistakes'. Darn it, I already produced at least 3 posts regarding this issue!

See if this will help you...

Dim Cell As Range
Dim blnCellHasData As Boolean

For Each Cell In Range("A1:R1")
If Cell.Value = 0 Then
Rows("1:1").EntireRow.Hidden = True
Else
blnCellHasData = True
End If
Next
If blnCellHasData = False Then
Rows("1:1").EntireRow.Hidden = True
Else
Rows("1:1").EntireRow.Hidden = False
End If
