ok, i've tried autofilter and can't get that to work properly...this is not a
straight forward dump with one cell header names...i've got merged cells
etc...but i wanted to know if i could speed up in another way...

for example, i know loops are slow...i've read so much about this and you
confirmed this...but my loop uses "For i=8 to 400" and a Next...Is that kind
of loop the same slowness as the below example: which uses a Do-Until-Loop
approach?

Sub HideRow()

Range("B15").Select

Do Until ActiveCell = "STOP"
If ActiveCell.Value = 0 Then
ActiveCell.EntireRow.Hidden = True
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Else
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
End if
Loop

End Sub

*** OR possibly another scenrio to cut the loop time: my current loop goes
from i=8 to 400....could i change the 400 to refere the last cell of the
worksheet which could be as low as 100 (the last cell in the searched column
is named "end_dept") so could i loop throught that row number? not sure how
to get the row number of "end_dept" in the loop.

again, thx in advance for any suggestsions.

Although I don't follow all of your code, it looks like you are looping
through a range to hide rows, it would be far faster to use Data, Filter,
AutoFilter (or Advanced Filter). You can record that command.

I have the following code to hide and display rows as needed. For example if
cell k1=000 display all rows. if k1=846, then any row with 846 in column in
I will be displayed.
It works well but its really slow.
Does anyone see what may be slowing it down?
Thanks in advance for any and all advice.
