Hi guys,

I need some help.
I have a couple of groups of columns grouped, i.e. separate groupings of 5 columns.
Certain cells within various groups have hyperlinks that are linked to certain cells that are within other groups.
If a group is closed (minimized with the '+' sign displayed) and I click on a hyperlink to a cell within this group the cell does not display as it is obviously hidden due to the group being closed.
I then have to click the plus sign at the top to display the cell I was taken to with the hyperlink. This sometimes leads me to losing my place and not realizing where the link has taken me to.
Is there a way to automatically ungroup the columns I have been taken to by the hyperlink so that the cell is selected and displayed and not hidden?
Thanks for the help guys.
 
Hi Gary, I previously had a sheet running with 4 sets of columns grouped.

Recently the sheet crashed and since it has been restored I seem to have lost the grouping of them. I have tried to regroup the correct columns together and nothing happens. I removed the code as thought this may be affecting it and tried to group but also didn't work.

Any help would be much appreciated please?

Thank you

Excel Facts

Workdays for a market open Mon, Wed, Friday?
Yes! Use "0101011" for the weekend argument in NETWORKDAYS.INTL or WORKDAY.INTL. The 7 digits start on Monday. 1 means it is a weekend.
I've only tried grouping a couple of times out of curiosity. I couldn't begin to tell you how to create an intelligent structure using that feature.

I doubt if the code had anything to do with it. The code simply toggles visibility of the row(s).
