Hi,

Once again I again I find myself fumbling with basic VBA. I need to hide or unhide a number of columns on each worksheet of a file but the number of columns is different on each worksheet. I have a clculation in my spreadsheet as follows:

="B:"&SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(10,A1+1,4),"10","")

This might produce the following:

B:F

How can I get this into VBA thus?

Code:
Sub Hide_columns()
    Columns("B:F").Select
    Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = True
    Range("A1").Select
End Sub
Thanks,

Martin
 

Excel Facts

Test for Multiple Conditions in IF?
Use AND(test, test, test, test) or OR(test, test, test, ...) as the logical_test argument of IF.
replace K6 with where your formula is.


Code:
Sub Hide_columns()
    
Dim myColumns As String
 
myColumns = Range("K6")
    
Columns(myColumns).EntireColumn.Hidden = True
 
End Sub

Thank you so much: I tried all kinds of varieties of your answer but didn't quite manage to get there.
