checking for hidden columns
 

I want to create a macro that will validate whether a column is hidden or
not. I can make column hidden and/or unhide columns, but it is redudant if
they are already in the state that I need them.

Thank you for any and all input.

I don't think you need a macro to do that, just do:

If Not Columns(iCol).EntireRow.Hidden Then
Columns(iCol).EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If

But even that I quit doing long ago. Except in cases of heavy computation
where it's best to check first if something needs to be done, I've found it's
simpler just to do

Columns(iCol).EntireRow.Hidden = True

and not worry about if it is already hidden. The above statement uses so
little CPU time it's irrelevant whether or not it's already hidden.

try,

Sub test()
'True=hide
MsgBox checkColumnshide(3)
End Sub

Function checkColumnshide(i As Integer) As Boolean
checkColumnshide = Columns(i).Hidden = True
End Function

Sorry about the mix up between columns and rows. I cut, pasted, and modified
on the fly.

Columns(iCol).EntireColumn.Hidden

What about if a column or row is grouped?

If you mean hiding/unhiding an individual row or column in a group, no
problem. You can do that. But if you mean hiding/unhiding all rows/columns
in a group at once, much like clicking the grouping buttons...good question!
I was unable to figure out how to do that. Anyone else have any ideas? (We
are using Excel 2002.)
