Hello.

What I have is a spreadsheet and when you open the workbook Cell H2 is empty
and the user selects either "System" or "Detail" from a dropdown list that's
in H2. What I want to do is to hide rows 32 & 33 if H2 is = "Detail" But if
it is "System" it doesn't hide them. However, and here's a tricky thing, if
the user selects "System" after they already selected "Detail" I need rows 32
& 33 to unhide.

Is this possible somehow and if so How would I do it?

Thanks Much In Advance.
Rob

You could put this code behind the worksheet (It is some change event code
and will fire on any change on the worksheet) To implement right click the
sheet tab and select view code and paste in the resultant window. It will
unhide on any word other than detail, but that could be changed

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Application.Intersect(Range("H2"), Target) Is Nothing Then
If Target.Value = "Detail" Then
Rows("32:33").Hidden = True
Exit Sub
End If
Rows("32:33").Hidden = False
End If
End Sub

Should have mentioned..
Go to Tools-Macro-Visual Basic Editor
double click on the desired sheet name in the top left pane
paste the above code.

It's easier and safer IMO to right-click on sheet tab and "View Code" then
paste.

Going to VBE some users may not have the Project Explorer open by default and if
they do, the workbook/project may not be expanded so sheet objects will not be
visible or they may have several similar workbooks open and could double-click
the sheet in an incorrect workbook.

I was able to use the code in two places to trim my "document" down and it
looks nice. My problem is that if I go to the sheet to add or edit, the
focus goes back to cell "A1" each time I enter or press F2. I've tried
substituting "LastCell" in for "A1" but to no avail. I've Rem-ed the line
out and it goes to the hide spot instead of A1, but still not back to where I
was.
How can I get the focus to go back to the cell I was in or the one below?
Thanks

Quit selecting things.

Going with your original request of rows 32 and 32................

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Me.Range("H2") = "Detail" Then
Rows("32:33").Hidden = True
ElseIf Me.Range("H2") = "System" Then
Rows("32:33").Hidden = False
End If
End Sub

That did it! Much easier.
