    Re: Only specific columns are hidden based on range

    Since the code looks for the last column in row 1, I'm guessing @biznez's worksheet only has the first column in row 1 filled. thus the code's ability to hide the first column, but then in the next iteration would error at Columns(0). Change Cells(1,) to whatever row better represents the last column of your data.

    But of course this is just a guess w/o seeing the data.
    I'm interested in starting a career working with VBA, if anyone knows of any opportunities!
