Default hiding showing columns using checkboxes

Ronda,

It seems to me that you need more checkboxes to get the all the combos
you've specified here. I don't see how you can get your last set of columns
(both boxes false) with just the ranges you've specified. Other than that,
I think the code below might give you more consistent results because
checked will always mean hidden:

Private Sub CheckBox1_Click()
Dim r As Range
Set r = Range("G1:H1")
r.EntireColumn.Hidden = CheckBox1
End Sub

Private Sub CheckBox2_Click()
Dim r As Range
Set r = Range("M1:AM1")
r.EntireColumn.Hidden = CheckBox2
End Sub

hth,

Hoping someone can help - I'm sure this is simple - I just can't get it
to work

I have 2 checkboxes to show and hide information - from browsing this
forum I have come up with the following:

Private Sub CheckBox1_Click()
Dim r As Range
Set r = Range("G1:H1")
r.EntireColumn.Hidden = Not r.EntireColumn.Hidden
End Sub

Private Sub CheckBox2_Click()
Dim r As Range
Set r = Range("M1:AM1")
r.EntireColumn.Hidden = Not r.EntireColumn.Hidden
End Sub

Both of these work fine idependently - however when I check one and not
the other sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

What I am looking to do is the following
if cbox1 is true and cbox2 is true it needs to show columns a-l,an-aw
if cbox1 is false and cbox2 is true it needs to show columns
a-f,j-l,an-ap
if cbox1 is true and cbox2 is false it needs to show everything
if cbox 1 is false and cbox2 is false it needs to show columns
a-f,j-o,r-x,aa-ag,aj-ap

I have tried various if/then statements but the results still are not
consistent
any suggestions are appreciated
