how to hide and unhide excel columns

  1. Hide Columns: To hide columns using VBA, you can set the Hidden property of the entire column to True. Here’s an example that hides columns A to C:  Sub HideColumns()
    Columns(“A:C”).EntireColumn.Hidden = True
    End Sub
  1. Unhide Columns: To unhide columns using VBA, you can set the Hidden property of the entire column to False. Here’s an example that unhides columns A to  C:Sub UnhideColumns()
    Columns(“A:C”).EntireColumn.Hidden = False
    End Sub
  1. Hide Specific Columns: If you want to hide specific columns instead of a range, you can specify the column letters individually. For example, to hide columns B, D, and F:

Sub HideSpecificColumns()
Columns(“B”).EntireColumn.Hidden = True
Columns(“D”).EntireColumn.Hidden = True
Columns(“F”).EntireColumn.Hidden = True
End Sub

 

  1. Unhide Specific Columns: To unhide specific columns, you can follow a similar approach by setting the Hidden property to False. For example, to unhide columns B, D, and F:

Sub UnhideSpecificColumns()
Columns(“B”).EntireColumn.Hidden = False
Columns(“D”).EntireColumn.Hidden = False
Columns(“F”).EntireColumn.Hidden = False
End Sub

Note: When hiding columns, make sure to adjust the code based on your specific needs, such as selecting the correct range or individual columns. Additionally, it’s a good practice to provide error handling to handle any unexpected issues that may arise.
