Maximum number of hidden columns
I have the following code whereby I am trying to hide 91 columns, but it
croakes on the --- line below Columns("DI:DU").Hidden = True Columns("DV:EH").Hidden = True Columns("EI:EU").Hidden = True --- Columns("EV:FH").Hidden = True Columns("FI:FU").Hidden = True Columns("FV:GH").Hidden = True Columns("GI:GU").Hidden = True The error is "Unable to set the hidden property of the Range class", error 1004. Is there a maximum number of columns that can be hidden? |

Maximum number of hidden columns
Don,
The Excel file is almost 9mb and has private and confidential banking data so I can't send you the file. Does it matter if the columns have data or not? In my case they all have some data in some of the 960 rows.

Maximum number of hidden columns
I wouldn't think it mattered. Without testing, maybe merged cells.??

Maximum number of hidden columns
My best guess would be that you are trying to hide columns with merged cells
(spanning columns) in them. You can not hide half of a merged cell... One question though is why do you have so many ranges to hide when the ranges form one large continuous block of columns? You could try... Columns("DI:GU").Hidden = True -- HTH...
