Hello all youVBA geniuses, Need some help with a doozy of a code here. I've got this pieceof script that hides rows in a tab called "Lab Tests_Plants". Youenter a number in cell D15 and it shows you the corresponding amount of rows.Cell E15 = "#" and E16 = "<=" to lay out parameters.

Private Sub worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range("D15:D15")) Is Nothing Then

Range("A14:AC28").AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterInPlace,CriteriaRange:=Range _
("E15:E16"), Unique:=False

What I need to do is enter this number on a different
tab called“LaborBudget” so that it will hide the rows on the sheet that the macro isin(Currently “Lab Tests_Plants”).


Forexample I enter 5 in cell D15 in the “Labor Budget” tab and 5 rows showin the “LabTests_Plants” tab.
Any advice or help is highly appreciated.

Thanks!


 

Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
Untested, but try this in the Sheet code of "Labor Budget"
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

    If Not Intersect(Target, Cells(15, 4)) Is Nothing Then
        With sheets("Lab Tests_Planets")
            .Select
            .Cells(15, 4).Value = Target.Value
        End With
    End If
        
End Sub

It didn't quite work. But thank you for your response. Although I see the logic behind the code, the macro seems to have corrupted the file. It could be because I'm using more than one macro on the same sheet. I type in 5 and nothing happens. When I go to the corresponding tab and type in a number the whole sheet freezes.
