Hide/Unhide

[jarhead58]

Good morning!!

To start, I understand that columns can be hidden/unhidden via the Format function on the toolbar. What I need to have happen is to use IsDate to search F2:F40 for a date, none particular, but a date. If not, in the row containing the False return, look at the contents in column A, Match it in Sheet2, whatever column it is in, and hide that column. If it does, just fall through and continue. Let me know if I can detail it better than below;

Sheet1

A B C D E F

Text1					11/7/19
Text2					x
Text3					11/7/19
Text4					11/7/19
Text5					11/7/19
Text6					11/7/19

Sheet2

A B C D E F

	Text1	Text2	Text3	Text4	Text5

<tbody>
</tbody>

How about

Sub jarhead()
    Dim Cl As Range, Fnd As Range
    
    For Each Cl In Range("F2:F40")
        If Not IsDate(Cl.Value) Then
            Set Fnd = Sheets("sheet2").Rows(1).Find(Cl.Offset(, -5).Value, , , xlWhole, , , False, , False)
            If Not Fnd Is Nothing Then Fnd.EntireColumn.Hidden = True
        End If
    Next Cl
End Sub

Please disregard the last post. Can't get the table to copy over to the message!

LOL!

So you actually made sense of it huh?

For future reference, how can I get an excel table to copy into the message, if possible?

I only want the column that didn't have a date to be hidden on sheet2. Hopefully that clears it up a little lol!

In what way didn't it work?

Getting a subscript out of range error.

Assuming it was on this line

Set Fnd = Sheets("[COLOR=#ff0000]sheet2[/COLOR]").Rows(1).Find(Cl.Offset(, -5).Value, , , xlWhole, , , False, , False)

Change the value in red to match your actual sheet name
