3x Checkboxes - Hide/Unhide sheet

[tlc53]

Hi there,

I have 3x Form Check Boxes. If any of them are ticked, I would like sheet "Dairy" to be visible. If none of them are ticked, sheet "Dairy" should be hidden.

I have linked the 3x check box references to cells P1, P2 and P3. In P4 I have the following formula =IF(OR(P1,P2,P3=TRUE),TRUE,FALSE)

I then tried entering this VBA code under my current worksheet. However, it's not working. Is there anyway to get this working? I would like to avoid using an ActiveX Check Box if possible. Thanks!

Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
If [P4] = True Then
Sheets("Dairy").Visible = False
Else
Sheets("Dairy").Visible = True
End Sub

Your formula states, if P1 is checked, and P2 is checked, and P3 is checked, then True which means all 3 must be checked to unhide the sheet. But you want if any are checked, meaning even if only one is checked.

The OR part of the formula deals with that. If any of the 3x checkboxes are ticked, then P4 returns TRUE. If they are all unticked, P4 returns FALSE.
This formula works as I would expect.

Use this

Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
    Sheets("Dairy").Visible = False
    If [P1] Or [P2] Or [P3] Then Sheets("Dairy").Visible = True
End Sub

Or Assign the following macro to the 3 checkboxes

Sub Hide_Unhide()
    Sheets("Dairy").Visible = False
    If [P1] Or [P2] Or [P3] Then Sheets("Dairy").Visible = True
End Sub

Once again, thank you Dante!
Assigning macro's to the 3x checkboxes did the trick

I'm glad to help you. Thanks for the feedback.

Hi Dante. This macro assigned to the check boxes was working perfectly, until I had to protect the worksheets.
I tried amending the code to include ActiveSheet.Unprotect ("") and ActiveSheet.Protect ("") but it just isn't working. I've tried a number of combinations too.
It works if my sheet G2 (where the macro is located) is unprotected and the other sheets protected. However, I need this to work with all the sheets protected.
Can you see where I might be going wrong and how I could fix it?
There are 6 macros/check boxes in total. Below is one of the straight forward ones..

Sub Beef()
    Sheets("Beef").Visible = False
    If [Q1] Then Sheets("Beef").Visible = True
End Sub

Try this:

Sub Beef()
    Sheets("Beef").Unprotect
    Sheets("Beef").Visible = False
    If [Q1] Then Sheets("Beef").Visible = True
    Sheets("Beef").Protect
End Sub

I guess Q1 is on another sheet, right?

 

[tlc53]

Cell Q1 is on Sheet G2.
Sheet G2 has all the options and macros on it. The other sheets (Beef for example) will appear if selected by the checkbox on sheet G2. If the Beef checkbox is selected, it returns TRUE in cell Q1, which in turn runs the macro and unhides the sheet "Beef".
With just the original coding (no Unprotect/Protect), and both sheets (G2 and Beef) are unprotected, it all works fine. If G2 is Unprotected and Beef Protected it also runs fine. If both sheets are protected, it returns an error that I'm trying to make a change on a protected sheet.
If I add your above code with both sheets protected, it returns the error that I am trying to change a protected sheet.

I have tried a number of combinations but none of them work when both sheets are protected.

These are what I have tried

Sub Beef()
    ActiveSheet.Unprotect ("")
    Sheets("Beef").Visible = False
    If [Q1] Then Sheets("Beef").Visible = True
    ActiveSheet.Protect ("")
End Sub

Sub Beef()
    Sheets("G2").Unprotect ("")
    Sheets("Beef").Visible = False
    If [Q1] Then Sheets("Beef").Visible = True
    Sheets("G2").Protect ("")
End Sub

Sub Beef()
    ActiveSheet.Unprotect ("")
    Sheets("Beef").Unprotect ("")
    Sheets("Beef").Visible = False
    If [Q1] Then Sheets("Beef").Visible = True
    ActiveSheet.Protect ("")
    Sheets("Beef").Protect ("")
End Sub

Sub Beef()
    Sheets("G2").Unprotect ("")
    Sheets("Beef").Unprotect ("")
    Sheets("Beef").Visible = False
    If [Q1] Then Sheets("Beef").Visible = True
    Sheets("G2").Protect ("")
    Sheets("Beef").Protect ("")
End Sub

They all return the same error, that I am trying to change a protected sheet. I'm not quite sure where to go from here..

Did you try what I put in post #8 ?

Sub Beef()
    [COLOR=#0000ff][B]Sheets("Beef")[/B][/COLOR].Unprotect
    Sheets("Beef").Visible = False
    If [Q1] Then Sheets("Beef").Visible = True
    [B][COLOR=#0000ff]Sheets("Beef")[/COLOR][/B].Protect
End Sub
