Thanks Bob,

Can I get this to run automatically when the value in cell D1 changes?

My spreadsheet has numerous sections all with period numbers 1-12
showing
in
columns on line 6. Line 6 also contains some blank cells and text
cells.
Cell D1 contains the current period number.
I want to be able to hide any columns where the number in line 6 is
greater
than the value in cell D1
ie if D1 is 4, then any columns in the spreadsheet that contain a
number
greater than 4 in line 6 would be hidden.

Can anyone help please.
