    hide/unhide rows based on reference to cell that contains a formula result (vlookup)

    I the attached example, I want to use VB to hide or unhide rows 16-17 based on the result of a formula in cell O8; if it is not possible to reference the result of a formula versus a value, the I could reference cell A3 (which contains values that change) but I would want to specify that if A3 = 1, 2, 6, 7, 12, ...(~35 total discrete values) then rows 16-17 should display and otherwise should be hidden. Any help is very much appreciated.

    Here's what I'd suggest: put a column in your lookup table to the far right of your values. Enter TRUE or FALSE for each desired state of visibility for that row. Point your lookup formula to that, then name cell O8: IsVisible. Try the following code:

    Note that there's a better way to do this that doesn't involve selecting the rows, but I'm having a brain freeze at the moment for the correct syntax to refer to the range object. If you know what it is, then something like:
    Range("16:17").EntireRow.Hidden = FALSE

    Should do the trick without having to select. I just don't remember the proper syntax...
