OK, I think I found the problem - there was a right parenthesis missing

Thanks, Tom for a very clever single - line solution.

This looks awesomely simple, Tom, but I don't remember what else I need
before or after it to actually perform the task. Can you help?

Assume the input date is in cell B2:

columns("G").Resize(,month(Range("B2").Value).Enti reColumn.Hidden = True

In row 7 of Columns G thru R (12 columns) of a worksheet called
"output", I have dates for January 31st thru Dec 31st (in a given year).
Based on an input cell that contains one of these 12 dates, I want to
hide all columns (in that year) that are on or before that date. So, I
could start with column G and hide it as well as up to 11 more columns
immediately to its right. Example, if the input date were 7/31, I would
want to hide the first seven columns and keep the last five. I guess
column G would always be hidden with this algorithm.

Can anyone help me with the syntax of such a macro? Thank you very much!

Also, somewhere on the web, I seem to recall a site with loads of
examples of EXCEL macros for doing common things. Often I can figure
out how to adapt one of these. Can anyone help me to rediscover it?
