The easiest way would be to use AutoFilter ... if that's not what you mean
by hiding and hiding the rows.

I have an Excel spreadsheet where each row in Col A is a subdivision lot
number. All the lots are entered at time purchase. When a lot sells, we
enter the remaining info, eg. Cust Name (Col B), Sales Price (Col C), etc.
out to the 89th column. How do I construct another spreadsheet or print a
report which would only show or print the active lots (those which have
sold)
automatically without having to hide and unhide rows?

with your table in the first row (headers present in row 1), do Data=Form

If that works, then your finished. (however, I don't expect it to work
since it only supports 32 columns and I believe you are talking about 89.)

If not, then you might need to learn how to program userforms:

If that doesn't sound appealing, then perhaps you want to mimic a paper form
on the worksheet.

You would then need to use code to move it into a Table.

There may be other possibilities as well as entering it directly.

Thanks Trevor. I took the AutoFilter lesson on the Microsoft website and
it
is exactly what I need. I am obviously a "newbie". Thanks again. Now I
need an Excel input form (similar to one which Access would create) for my
office manager to input the data to the spreadsheet. Although, she could
just bring up the worksheet and enter directly to the spreadsheet itself.

Again, thanks,

Chasman
