    Making Cells appear based on another cells value

    Does any one know a way in which I can make cells appear (with formulas contained within them) based on a different cells value (if it is greater than) and if the cell contains a value that is less then the defined limit than the cells just don't appear at all.

    I thought I could do this by assigning a macro that activates depending on the cells value (Im not really too sure about how to do this) and would it be easiest to just record this macro or to code it myself. I was also wondering if there was a possibility of doing this using conditional formatting.

    Thanks

    Take a look at using Conditional Formatting.

    You could set the cell font and background color to the same color, thus rendering the cell content "invisible", and then use Conditional Formatting to change either one of them to a new color.

    Conditional Formatting

    If you are wanting to hide cell, then that will require VBA and you will need provide the specific conditions for hiding/unhiding the cells (which means hiding entire rows or columns - not a single cell).
