    Post hide and unhide columns based on cell value

    I was wondering if somebody can help me with VBA code to automatically hide certain rows based on a cell value. I want to hide columns Q, T and AC if cell E2 shows one of these names: Fantasy, Fascination, Inspiration, Paradise....However, I would like to unhide these columns if user sets E2 cell to show: Breeze, Conquest, Dream, Magic...

    Also, sheet is protected and workbook structure as well

    Thank you

    Thank you for welcome and fast response, much appreciated. I moved your code to sheet module but nothing happens..what am I missing here? It does not give me any code errors but doesn't do the job either.

    It might be the fact that your sheet is protected. Have you tried up protecting and running. If that works we'll work out how to do this in the macro. If it doesn't work are you able to post your worksheet up?

    Test.zip

    OK, hope attachment will go through. I have left workbook structure unprotected as well as Day 1 sheet. If you can help me hide last two columns in Day 1 sheet we can work from there. Couple of things...first, E2 cell gets value based on C1 cell in Cover sheet. Second, C2 cell is data validated. If you need password...3655

    Re: hide and unhide columns based on cell value

    Ok I've got on another computer and have opened your first zip file.

    First issue is on day 1 sheet the value is in C2 not E2 because it looks like you've merged cells.

    But I'm getting a few weird results so bear with me while I work on it

    Try this

    Delete the last on I sent you and replace with this one in each sheet you want to hide or unhide columns. This will hide column AC at the moment
