Hey

It could be done like this:

Public Sub AutoResizeView()
Dim rView As Range

Set rView = Selection

With ActiveSheet
' Show all
.Columns("A:IV").Hidden = False
.Rows("1:65536").Hidden = False

' Hide not selected
If Not (rView.Columns(1).Column = 1) Then
.Range(.Cells(1, 1), .Cells(1, rView.Columns(1).Column -
1)).EntireColumn.Hidden = True
End If
If Not (rView.Columns(rView.Columns.Count).Column = 256) Then
.Range(.Cells(1, rView.Columns(rView.Columns.Count + 1).Column),
Cells(1, 256)).EntireColumn.Hidden = True
End If
If Not (rView.Rows(1).Row = 1) Then
.Range(.Cells(1, 1), .Cells(rView.Rows(1).Row - 1,
1)).EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If
If Not (rView.Rows(rView.Rows.Count).Row = 65536) Then
.Range(.Cells(rView.Rows(rView.Rows.Count).Row + 1, 1),
..Cells(65536, 1)).EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If
End With

' Zoom
ActiveWindow.Zoom = True

Set rView = Nothing
End Sub


Cheers,

Excel VBA programming : How to make only a selected sheet area visible,
e.g. the row 12 until the end shall be invisible and the column X until
the end shall be invisible. The problem may be that different Excel
versions have different max rows and columns. And how to adjust the
scrollbars to that selected area. What if the selected area is smaller
than the usable width of the Excel spreadsheet. The function of sizing
the width and height will not work ?
