cells in said row contains an asterisk?

You can use the autofilter and then select "custom". Select "does not equal"
and type ~* in the text box.

Thanks. That did the trick but is there a way for it to refresh
automatically? Sometimes I change data on one sheet but the filter
doesn't change to reflect these changes.

you can use a macro like this. Right click on the sheet tab and select "view
code". Insert this code in "ThisWorkbook". Warning: This macro will run
everytime you change the worksheet.

Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
Range("A1").AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="<~*", Operator:=xlAnd
End Sub

It doesn't seem to work for me. Is the "range" supposed to be just A1 or
do I put something like A1:G100?

IF what you want is to hide the row as soon as an asterisk is entered,
then you need to use the Worksheet_Change macro.

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

Does this work for you?

Sorry for the late reply. A1 is the header of the column you are looking for
the asterisks in. If you are searching for asterisks in column C, then
change A1 to C1. Also, you might want to doublecheck that you are putting
the code under "ThisWorkbook" and not under any of the sheets or modules.

Hi, vezerid. I'm trying to do something similar to djarcadian. How exactly
does one use the Worksheet_Change macro?

My goal is to hide rows if they contain a blank in Column B and to unhide
them as soon as Column B becomes nonblank. The cells in Column B are formulas
which take their value from a different worksheet.

Suggestions?

Hi Hubitron

What you are requesting is trickier, since the values change from
formulas. The following event macro traps the Calculate event and
performs what you ask with Sheet3 (change as necessary in the code).

Private Sub Workbook_SheetCalculate(ByVal Sh As Object)
Dim col As Range
r = Sheets("Sheet3").UsedRange.Rows.Count
Application.EnableEvents = False
For i = 1 To r
If Sheets("Sheet3").Range("B" & i).Value = "" Then
Sheets("Sheet3").Range("B" & i).EntireRow.Hidden = True
Else
Sheets("Sheet3").Range("B" & i).EntireRow.Hidden = False
End If
Next i
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

There are times that you might curse such automation. If this is the
case you will have to delete this macro.

To install (and delete later):
Alt+F11 to go to the VBA editor
Ctrl+R to toggle display of the Project Manager
Select your workbook and double click the ThisWorkbook icon
Paste the code above.

Thanks a lot for the quick reply! It's getting there . . . the problem is:
every time I change a source cell, from which the column B cells take their
value, the macro runs all the way through and takes a long time. Can I speed
up the macro somehow (e.g., by restricting it to rows 5-204 and/or making it
run automatically only on the particular row whose corresponding source cell
has changed)?

I hope that makes sense . . .

Thanks again!
