VBA IF statement to hide worksheet

**Schwartz** · 01-23-2012, 03:38 PM

Hello,
I have Excel 2010. I am new to VBA. I tried the "record a macro" function, but was unable to get it to do what I want. I am trying to write a macro to hide a worksheet if C$3="" in that worksheet. There are about 23 different sheets, and I am having trouble coding it. I would greatly appreciate any insight you may have.

Open the vba editor and find the sheet(s) you want this to happen on in the top left window. Right click it and select 'view code' and paste this in:


Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

If Range("C3").Value = "" Then activesheet.Visible = False


End Sub

Hello Schwartz,

The basic VBA statement would be. There are other methods but to know which one is best for your needs would require more information.

    If $C$3 = "" Then 
       ActiveSheet.Visible = False
    Else
       ActiveSheet.Visible = True
    End If

Thank you for the quick replies. Let me clarify exactly what I need. I apologize I did not specify earlier. The macro needs to Look at C3 of each sheet. If there is no value in C3, it needs to hide that sheet. If there is a value, It needs the tab to be renamed to the value in C3. I have the code to change the tab name, but I do not know how to incorporate the hiding function.

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    Dim wSheet As Worksheet
    On Error Resume Next
    For Each wSheet In Me.Worksheets
        If wSheet.Range("C3") = "" Then
            wSheet.Name = "Sheet" & wSheet.Index
        Else
            wSheet.Name = Format(wSheet.Range("C3"), "mmm dd, yyyy")
        End If
    Next wSheet
    On Error GoTo 0
End Sub
