Macros Across Worksheets

[DazHands]

Hi I am trying to create a form where different a different subject may be chosen and depending on which one, certain questions need to be asked but this is required across two separate “forms” which I have set up as “worksheet”. However, I can only seem to hide the rows I don’t want on both sheets by running two separate Macros – is there a way to just run one Macro but which hides the rows across both sheets>

What I have at present is:

Workbook “Initial Assessment” – where Cell E1 changes depending on the subject.

Sub HideRowCellNumValue()
StartRow = 81
LastRow = 556
iCol = 1
For i = StartRow To LastRow
If Cells(i, iCol).Value = Range("G1").Value Then
Cells(i, iCol).EntireRow.Hidden = False
Else
Cells(i, iCol).EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If
Next i
End Sub

When run, this Macro hides any row between 81 – 556 where Column 1 (column A on the Sheet) does not contain the name of the subject in Cell E1

I have a second sheet in this workbook (Tab4 - Plan of Training) which I want to link to the subject in “E1” on the Initial Assessment sheet and likewise hide certain rows depending on the subject (rows 81 – 556).

However the only way I have managed it is to run a separate Macro (sort of replicating the first but changed for the applicable rows)

Sub HideRowCellNumValue()
StartRow = 81
LastRow = 556
iCol = 1
For i = StartRow To LastRow
If Cells(i, iCol).Value = Range("G1").Value Then
Cells(i, iCol).EntireRow.Hidden = False
Else
Cells(i, iCol).EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If
Next i
End Sub

Is there a way to hide the applicable rows in the second sheet based on the selection in the first with only one macro needed to be run?

Thanks

The routine is not that complicated so I suspect that whatever issues there are, are minor. For example you said that the name of the 2nd worksheet was "Tab4 - Plan of Training", but if it was actually just "Plan of Training" then the code would never execute. But since you have not posted any testable data it is not possible to tell. If you are not willing/able to do some minimal debugging then yes, you are better off sticking with what you have that works. Cheers.
