Rick,

An Excel formula can only place a value in the cell in which it is written;
it cannot perform functions such as hiding or deleting rows. You would need
to resort to code for that.

Formulas cannot do anything other than return a result to the cell in which they
are written.

To hide rows/columns based upon a value would reuire VBA, probably event code.

You could use Conditional Formatting to hide a cell's contents by setting font
color same as background color based on another cell's value.
