Unhide hidden rows in excel based on cell value

Hello guys,

I am having problems with an excel macro. The thing I want to accomplish is the following: my excel has some hidden rows. Based on a cell vallue (cell B8) being either "1" or "2", "3", "4" i want certain rows to become visible. B8 is a drop down menu - if the user selects "1" I want rows 18 and 19 to appear. If the user selects 2, 3 or 4 I want row 20 to appear. Most importantly I don't want the user to have to run the macro - I want it to be executed automatically when he chooses the value of the B8 field.

This is what I have so far, however, it does not work. Please help!

Since you are using a drop down, the only possibilities for cell B8 will be those text strings your code has delineated. Given that, I think you should be able to replace all the code you posted with these two lines of code...

Note: If the user should manually type anything into the cell, the above code will hide Row 20 and reveal Rows 18 and 19. If you don't want that to happen, then we can use Fluff13's approach, but slim it down by another 3 code lines...
