hide/unhide macro
 

right now i am using the group and ungroup from the data menu to hide
particular rows. i need help (i fairly new to this) creating a macro that
when either a toggle button, or command button is pressed will hide/unhide
the row above it. for instance rows 4&5 are grouped, but row four is
hidden... how can i create a button to put on row 5 to hide/unhide row 4? i
don't like grouping the rows because when i protect the sheet you cannot
group or ungroup the rows...

hide/unhide macro
 

The code that follows will unhide the row immediately above the active
cell. You can attach that to a button and place the button on row 5-
but will you need it in other places as well? Having a button for
every row that *might* be hidden would be chunky and ugly and tedious.
As an alternative you might freeze the sprdsht panes in such a way that
the upper left corner is always visible, and place the button there.

FYI This code contains a command that lands the cell pointer on column
A of the unhidden row- you can change or delete that as you like.

Sub Unhide_Row_Above()
Dim Roe As Long

Roe = ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 0).Row
Rows(Roe & ":" & Roe).Select
Selection.EntireRow.Hidden = False
Range("a" & Roe).Select
End Sub

hide/unhide macro
 

The easiest way to do this is to record one macro to hide and another to
unhide ("Tools", "Macro", "Record New Macro"). Then assign the macros to
buttons, or drawing objects by right clicking on them and selecting "Assign
Macro".
