    Hide Columns Based on Answer in an InputBox

    Hi,

    Is it possible to write a code that asks a user to input a column and it will hide the columns from that column to a fixed column?

    For instance, if the fixed column is always 'AB' and in the InputBox the user put 'Z' in the field, it'll hide columns Z through AB.

    And as a bonus : I want to prevent people from hiding columns that have data in it, is it possible for the box to return an error if the =sum(Z3:AB10)<>0?

    Thanks so much!

    Thanks --

    Z was just an example and wouldn't be in the actual code, in the example, Z = whatever the user responded with
    But I think i can play around w/ your code a bit and arrive at what I'm looking for
    Thanks again

    Hi
    I included Z because you mentioned it, but you should be able to input any column letter in the inputbox and the macro should work hiding the range between that column and AB
