How to hide or unhide entire rows based on multiple drop down lists number selection for for each data set

[Trent30]

I am new to VBA codes. I have a worksheet where column A data changes between “Hide” and “Show” when you select a different drop down option (ex – 1-8). I am wanting to show the number of lines selected from a drop down box for each individual data set of 8 rows for data set 1 and a further 8 rows for data set 2. E.g. I want to show the first 4 lines of data set 1 and the 3 lines from data set 2.

I have tried the below code which works for the first data set (and I didn’t need to add column A to have Show or Hide appear depending on the drop down value), however I couldn’t get it to work for the second data set as I don’t know how to add multiple macros (and it seems a bit long winded for the code).

Welcome to the MrExcel board!

First a couple of forum hints.

• Investigate XL2BB for providing sample data to make it easier for helpers by not having to manually type out sample data to test with.
• When posting code, don't post a picture, post the actual code from your vba window and use code tags to display it properly in your post. More details in my signature block below.

See if this does what you want. I wasn't sure what you would want if the cells in column D are cleared? My code hides all the group rows since there is then no number in the "Show lines" cell.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
  Dim Changed As Range, c As Range
 
  Set Changed = Intersect(Target, Range("D2, D14"))
  If Not Changed Is Nothing Then
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    For Each c In Changed
      c.Offset(1).Resize(8).EntireRow.Hidden = True
      If Len(c.Value) > 0 Then c.Offset(1).Resize(c.Value).EntireRow.Hidden = False
    Next c
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
  End If
End Sub

Hi Trent,

Please check this:

Sub showRows()
Dim rowsFToShow As Integer, rowsSToShow As Integer
Sheets("Sheet3").Cells.EntireRow.Hidden = False

rowsFToShow = Sheets("Sheet3").Range("D2")
rowsSToShow = Sheets("Sheet3").Range("D14")

Sheets("Sheet3").Range(3 + rowsFToShow & ":10").EntireRow.Hidden = True
Sheets("Sheet3").Range(15 + rowsSToShow & ":22").EntireRow.Hidden = True


End Sub

Thanks Peter_SSs,

That works how I intended it, it looks a lot simpler than the code I had.

I will keep your hints in mind for future questions

Hi Trent,

rowsSToShow = Sheets("Sheet3").Range("D14")

Sheets("Sheet3").Range(3 + rowsFToShow & ":10").EntireRow.Hidden = True
Sheets("Sheet3").Range(15 + rowsSToShow & ":22").EntireRow.Hidden = True


End Sub

Sorry Saurabhj this one didn't do anything

You're welcome. Thanks for the follow-up.
