My spreadsheet is a list of names and hours and charges, but if name X, say
D14, has zero hours, say F14 = 0, then I do not need the row - otherwise my
spreadsheet will have so many unused rows - and so want to hide it.

To complicate matters, my spreadsheet has titles, etc, and clearly such a
row has no value for hours in any cell, and these rows are not to be hidden.

I see something that only conisders the "data rows" and hides them if the
hours cell, F14, is zero.

Allan

Here is one way which assumes headings in rows 1 and 2. Just chan ge the F3
to the first real data row.


Option Explicit

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Const WS_RANGE As String = "F3:F88536"

On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range(WS_RANGE)) Is Nothing Then
With Target
If .Value = 0 Then
.EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If
End With
End If

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.

Al,

If you don't want to do it with a macro, you can achieve this using a
filter. In a column that you don't use (say column M), enter the
formula = F3 in cell M3 and copy down to cover your rows of data.
Highlight this column and select Data | Filter | Autofilter. Then
select Custom... on the pull-down list and specify "Not Equal to" and
"0" (i.e. zero) in the panels. All your rows with zero in column F will
be hidden.

Pete

Typo, should be

Option Explicit

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Const WS_RANGE As String = "F3:F66536"

On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range(WS_RANGE)) Is Nothing Then
With Target
If .Value = 0 Then
.EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If
End With
End If

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Problem with that is it needs to be repeated every time a value is changed
to 0, it is not event driven.

Bob, Pete,

Thanks for your replies...allow me to digest your advise then I'll get back
to you with my results! One comment, I have now though, is that my "titles"
do not only apprear in say rows 1 & 2. I have many "categories" of personnel,
thus rows 17& 18 might be a header for "management", rows 34&35, for "sales
reps", rows 51&52 for "mechanics" etc etc. Does this have a consequence on
your replies?

Then you need some type of indicator, such as a cell value, that can be
tested to see if it is a heading row.

If you want to try it my way then you will need to delete the formula
from the rows which are headings so that the cells are blank rather
than zero.

Pete

OK..now I'm off to see if I can get this to work. Thanks for all advice to
date!
