I suspect the hiding of rows is your bottleneck, even though you use
Application.ScreenUpdating. Instead of hiding one row at a time, it is
faster to keep track of rows in a range, and hide the range all at once.

This is a shortened test version of your code:

Sub Test1()
Dim c As Range
Dim t As Double
Dim i As Long
t = Timer
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For i = 1 To 100
ActiveSheet.Range("A1:A40").EntireColumn.Hidden = False
For Each c In ActiveSheet.Range("A1:A40").Cells
If c.Value = "" Then
c.EntireRow.Hidden = True
Else
c.EntireRow.Hidden = False
End If
Next
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Debug.Print Timer - t
End Sub

I ran this five times, with an average elapsed time of 5.8 seconds.

This does the same by adding each cell 'c' to a range 'r', then hiding this
multicell range:

Sub Test3()
Dim c As Range
Dim r As Range
Dim t As Double
Dim i As Long
t = Timer
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For i = 1 To 100
ActiveSheet.Range("A1:A40").EntireColumn.Hidden = False
Set r = Nothing
For Each c In ActiveSheet.Range("A1:A40").Cells
If Len(c.Value) = 0 Then
If r Is Nothing Then
Set r = c
Else
Set r = Union(r, c)
End If
End If
Next
r.EntireRow.Hidden = True
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Debug.Print Timer - t
End Sub

Five iterations averaged 1.6 seconds.

Monk -

I was showing a comparison between two techniques, a slow way and a fast
way. Each looped 100 times to give timer values that could be compared. You
took the slower code, and kept in the loop. So yeah, it's going to be slow.

What you need to do is replace this slow bit of your code:

Dim c As Range
For Each c In Range("A11:A1250")
If c.Value = "" Then
Rows(c.Row).Hidden = True
Else
Rows(c.Row).Hidden = False
End If
Next c

with this faster bit:

Dim c As Range
Dim r As Range
For Each c In Range("A11:A1250")
If c.Value = "" Then
If r is nothing then
Set r = c
else
Set r = Union(r. c)
endif
End If
Next c
r.EntireRow.Hidden = True
