    Overcomplicated VBA for Simple Formatting - Need alternative to Hide Rows

    Dear Excel Wizards,

    I am using Excel to create Proposals/Sales Orders/Service Orders/etc.

    I input all necessary information on the INFO Sheet, and it will auto populate and calculate all other sheets which are templates with their appropriate formulas. All is working well, and I have allotted 10 Lines to input different Line Items to display. I have created an overcomplicated VBA to auto-hide rows in my template sheets dependent upon if there is a QTY shown in my Line Items.

    THE PROBLEM
    The workbook works fantastically and other departments are requesting the same sheet. This is a problem as I would need to create this VBA for hundreds of new template sheets and have no desire to re-input the code for all sheets.

    THE CODE
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    CONCLUSION
    Please review and let me know if there is a simpler way to go about hiding the rows for each sheet and new sheets to be added.

    Note: I am rather new and self taught to Excel Macros and suspect I have approached this completely backwards.

    Any help is much appreciated!

    Welcome to the Forum GoyaRU !

    I suspect that it will be easy to answer your question once we figure out what it is.

    What sheets are the template sheets? Your code uses INFO plus a few other sheets with various combinations of tax and freight, but which ones are templates that would be added, what the "hundreds of new template sheets"?

    How are you going to create the new template sheets? BTW if you copy a sheet, Excel also includes the code in the copy. That alone may solve your question.

    The only thing I can tell you right now, which doesn't answer your question, is that your code can be streamlined. Your code is all If statements like this:

    Each one can be a single line of code. The expression in your If statement evaluates to either True or False, so you can use it directly to set the Hidden attribute:

    The parentheses on the right side are not required but I included them to make it more evident as to what's going on.

    Hi,

    Here's a suggestion that you should be able to adapt to other templates.

    How about

    You'll need to add the other sheet names to the array.
    Alternatively how many sheets are there that you don't want to hide the rows on?

    Jazz,

    Thank you for the response. The issue may lie in the fact that the INFO sheet contains the Code and none of the other sheets do.

    Essentially, I fill out the INFO sheet with information such as Customer Name, Line Items, Quantities, Descriptions, Prices, Tax, Freight, etc. Then I click into the Appropriate Template which autofills based on the information provided on the INFO sheet.

    Thus, all sheets with the exception of INFO is a template sheet that is used based upon the the customer. (E.G. Whether or not we are charging Freight or Tax).

    Please let me know if this helps.

    Thanks,

    Goya

    Why not use a filter and simply filter based on your desired conditions?

    Fluff,

    Follow-up question for you. How can I modify this macro to also target an additional range ("B24:B29") and Hide target.row + 7?

    In other words, I am looking to repeat the same hiderow but in a different range further down the INFO sheet.

    Thanks,

    GOYA
