Hi All,

New to VBA and looking for some help. I want to hide columns based on multiple user selections.

For this example, if a user wants to filter by Fiscal Quarter, Q1, Q2 (Row 3 values from column F onwards).... and give them the option to filter by Fiscal Year, FY24, FY23.... (Row 4 values from Column F onwards).
I've figured out how to hide by one input, in this case Quarter, but looking for some help on how to include the second.

B3 = Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, All
B4 = FY24, FY23, FY22, FY21, All

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim x As Variant, y As String
If Target.Address = "$B$3" Then
y = Target.Value
With Range("F3:FF3")
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
.EntireColumn.Hidden = (y <> "All")
If y <> "All" Then
For Each x In .Cells
If x = y Then x.EntireColumn.Hidden = False
Next
End If
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End With
End If
End Sub
 
Your image doesn't match your description, and changes structure from your original post. The financial years and quarters have swapped positions, also your data validation cells appear to be in the range B4:B6 and not B3:B5, with the FY cells in row 1. I'll write the code according to your image, not your description, unless I hear from you first. It seems to make more sense (given the new structure) to put the financial year option at the top of the three data validations.

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off

Thanks. You are correct, I quickly drew that up as an example and it is not presented well. But if you are to work off the image, columns F onwards make sense, and I need to make FY the first input cell, which can be at B3 or B4 (I Will adjust). Thanks!

Thank you, this is exactly what I needed and works great!

Much appreciated and thanks for the quick turnaround.
