I have a macro that hides blank rows whenever there is no value in a
particular cell. Two things:
1.) How do I program the macro to run everytime the file is opened

2.) How do I also program the macro to run every time someone adds a value
in any of the cells that determine whether its row should be hidden? In other
words, column B contains the cells in which when blank, the row is hidden.
Now I want to unhide the row if someone enters data in the cell in column B

(Let me know if I need to explain some more)

Add the code in workbook_open

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
End Sub

'This is workbook event code.
'To input this code, right click on the Excel icon on the worksheet
'(or next to the File menu if you maximise your workbooks),
'select View Code from the menu, and paste the code

2.) How do I also program the macro to run every time someone adds a value
in any of the cells that determine whether its row should be hidden? In
other
words, column B contains the cells in which when blank, the row is hidden.
Now I want to unhide the row if someone enters data in the cell in column
B

How would they enter data in B if it is hidden? any cell?

Thanks for the help on the first question, was just what I needed.
To give more details for my second question, the spreadsheet with the macro
that hides blank cells is linked to another workbook whereby users enter
data. If they don't enter data on some rows, the macro hides these rows.
Currently I have been running the macro manually and wanted to automate it.
So the trigger to unhide the rows is actually when either the user enters
data or when I open the workbook. I was thinking of instances when both
workbooks are open, to automate the macro whenever there is a change in the
range of B Cells of the initial workbook, which is what tells the macro
whether or not to hide a row. (Not sure if it is clear - let me know)

I take it you got your answer according to the other thread in the other
group?

I still need help with the second question on running the macro when there is
a change in cells within a particular range - is it possible to program the
macro to run only when there is a change in column B of the table? What I
mean is, this worksheet is linked to another such that when a user enters
data, it is also displays in the worksheet where I have the macro. So, I
want the macro to run, when previously empty cells in column B get data. Is
that possible?

Try copying the macro into the "this workbook" code sheet. Select the
"Workbook" option in the upper Left drop down box, and select "open" from
the upper right drop down box. Then stick you code in between the
statements that are generated. This is an event procedure that take place
whenever something happens, in this case the wkbook opens.

For the second part, very similar. Activate the code sheet for the specific
sheet. Select the "Worksheet" option in the upper Left drop down box, and
select "change" from the upper right drop down box. Then stick you code in
between the statements that are generated

Let me know if this works for you.

Thanks for the help on the first question, was just what I needed which you
both suggested. Unfortunately, the problem with pasting the macro in the
Worksheet Change area, it keeps running the macro everytime I click on a cell
which is a bit too much - I want it to only run when there is a change in
data in the B column (I have a specific range the macro looks at) which is
what tells the macro whether or not to hide a row. (Let me know if I need
to explain some more)
