    =if(n10="no","","whatever text you want")
    <--- If you like the answer, press *.

    You could use what zumbalj said, but I don't think you want to do all that work. You might want to start a thread over in the Excel Programming / VBA / Macros sub-forum for VBA code to stick in to your sheet.
    Don't just use the answers provided for you. Try to understand how it works by reverse engineering or asking about it.

    I don't think that would be too much work if you left your text cells in a hidden column and linked to them- one formula to drag down.

    If you're going to suggest to someone to manually hide cells, when they asked for a way to do it automatically, why bother suggesting anything at all?

    1. Wanted to point out that your tone is condescending. I assume that is not your intention (if I am wrong, please correct me), but for future reference, you might be more careful how you phrase comments that could be construed that way.

    2. I assume all the text is known ahead and this is a userform that will display the text based on one yes/no answer in cell N10. With that assumption (again, if that's wrong, Louie please correct me), this would be a quick way for a new Excel user to accomplish the task with one-time changes. VBA can be extrememly challenging for a new user as Louie described him/herself, so I went for the easier to accomplish and easier to troubleshoot solution.
