that works nicely when I made it B for my main reference cell...thank you so
much.

thanks to the other postings as well, just so new to coding Excel that I
probably bugged the coding. ;)

yeah, what happens is the data from that field is on another sheet...field B5
checks that other sheets to see if it =$0.00, then B6 checks is B5 "" B7
checks if B5"" and so on. I know there are quicker ways to populate it, but
I'm a bit oldschool Quattro...which is why I am learning this stuff to make
Excel better than my other sheets used to be. :)

So if I change your code to read B it should work on my original cell
reference for ""?

I'm a little confused between what you posted in your first message (looking
for B5 to be empty) and this message (4th field on the row to be empty).
Assuming your data starts in Column A (so that 4th column is Column D),
running this macro should do what you asked...

Sub HideRowsIfColumnDisEmpty()
Dim X As Long
Dim LastRowOfData As Long
With Worksheets("Sheet1")
LastRowOfData = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUp).Row
For X = 1 To LastRowOfData
If .Cells(X, "D").Value = 0 Or .Cells(X, "D").Value = "" Then
.Cells(X, "D").EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If
Next
End With
End Sub

Make sure you change the Worksheets("Sheet1") reference to the actual sheet
name that your data is on.

<3255 NE 79th<10.75%<5/31/2008<$64,509.53<5/1/2008<$2,933.76
< for separation only.
But when the fourth field (64,509.53) is blank or 0.00 (loan paid off) I
would like to hide the entire row.

Trying to not to confuse the issue with data structure, but pasting those
codes into the "View Code" doesn't seem to do anything to Row B5 even when
I
delete the contents (formula checking if Balance is 0.00).

The other code posted by PerJessen actually hides rows, but whatever row I
click on, not just blank ones...

sorry, new to much of this coding, but playing around, trying this:
"Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target = Range("B5") Then
If Range("B5").Value = "" Then Target.EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If
If Target = Range("B6") Then
If Range("B6").Value = "" Then Target.EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If
If Target = Range("B7") Then
If Range("B7").Value = "" Then Target.EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If
If Target = Range("B8") Then
If Range("B8").Value = "" Then Target.EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If
End Sub"
makes all rows disappear when I click on a cell. Was just curious if I
can
target only the rows with relevant data or not. I can't even use
"undo"
with
this.

Hi

Try this code. As it's a event macro it has to be pasted to the code
sheet for your master sheet. To open that code sheet, right click on
the tab for the mastersheet and select "View Code".

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target = Range("B5") Then
If Range("B5").Value = "" Then Target.EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If
End Sub

How can I hide Row 5 when Cell B5 is blank, and likewise for all
rows
in the
table? Tried pasting from another thread here into the VB macro
page,
and I
must have missed something in the process.

General layout:
B5 checks if loan balance 0, then populates B5 with Borrower name.
Other B
row cells all check if B5"" and then populate their functions.
But since loans get paid off, I don't want my front master sheet to
get
overrun with all the old information, even though I don't want to
delete the
history there...

Much thanks from a long time user of another spreadsheet, changing
old
stuff
over to Excel.
