    Hide entire Table if cells empty

    Hi.
    I can find plenty of examples on how to hide rows of a table when empty using VBA but nothing to hide the entire table is the cells within that table are empty

    Can anyone give me a example on how to achieve this?

    Re: Hide entire Table if cells empty

    In this case, the table is not empty. Probably because of formulas that return an empty string.

    Re: Hide entire Table if cells empty

    Thanks for the replies.
    i made a new spreadsheet with a table and seems that the code works however doesn't work with my current worksheet

    Not sure if it has anything to do that the table in comes from a Power Query connection?

    Re: Hide entire Table if cells empty

    could you provide your sheet with desensitized data?

    Re: Hide entire Table if cells empty

    found a code here in the forum
    it filters the table showing only cells with values in column A so when all cells are blank in A then all cells are hidden although the headers are still visible
    is this what your desired output is?

    Re: Hide entire Table if cells empty

    The desired output would be to have every element of the table to be hidden including the headers and the total row

    Re: Hide entire Table if cells empty

    from your attached sheet the table has a single cell with a value so its not actually empty
    my first code was for a table that is empty except the headers
    maybe someone can provide what your desired output is with the attached sheet

    Re: Hide entire Table if cells empty

    The first table was a test to see if the formula works
    The second table has the query connection. This is the one that i would like the formula to work with

    Code works fine for the first table (when the cell data is deleted), but not for the second (when the data is deleted)

    Re: Hide entire Table if cells empty

    tried my code on post 2 on your attachment and it hides the second table

    i cleared the contents of all the cells of the second table not including the headers then ran the code

    Re: Hide entire Table if cells empty

    Finally diagnosed the problem

    Seems that Artik's code works only if there is no totals row for the table
    Is there a way to incorporate this into the code?

    Now you see how important it is to attach an adequate example to your question (because the one attached does not reflect the layout of your actual data). Three days of foam-balling what could have been dealt with in one day.

    Re: Hide entire Table if cells empty

    If i was to do this to multiple tables, would there be a more efficient way of doing this or is repeating the code with a different ListObject Number the best/only way?

    Yes, there are fans of Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V shortcuts in the world, but you can also think of a loop, such as:

    Re: Hide entire Table if cells empty

    Is there also a way to hide the first row ABOVE the table if the table is hidden?

    Re: Hide entire Table if cells empty

    This works great. But i assumed it would unhide the row Above when the table is not empty?

    Re: Hide entire Table if cells empty

    no you were correct

    I made an assumption that the row above would hide when there was data in the table & unhide when there was no data in the table

    Is this possible?

    Re: Hide entire Table if cells empty

    Although mostly working

    The code doesn't unhide the row above the tables that are visible

    It hides all the every row above every table instead whether the table is visible or not

    And it also shows you the tables as soon as they start to have data: Is it verified?
