Hide/Unhide an indirectly referenced column

[Aegwyn11]

I want to automatically hide/unide columns in a worksheet based on the contents of a cell. The cell contains the name of the column that should be hidden. Using the following VBA code, I can get the unhide/hide to work fine, but not sure on how to reference the contents of the cell instead of hardcoding the column to hide/unhide.

The column that I want to hide is defined in cell B12. The contents of cell B12 is currently something like "F" to indicate column F.

Can someone help?

Harry,

Thanks for catching my spelling error...I never was good at spelling in grade school.

Your solution seems simple and easy, except that I don't think it would work for columns beyond Z (AA+). This must be able to support multi-letter columns.

Thanks.

Maybe this is better.

Okay got it. Harry's code above didn't quite work, but came close (and cleans up the code quite a bit, thanks). Here's the working code.

My next problem is getting this function to kick off when the value in the target cell changes as a result of a recalculation caused by an action on another sheet, but I'm pretty sure I saw something for that when searching for something a few days ago.
