I would like to have a certain range visible or hidden.
Similar to entire columns/rows, but only the range. Let's say B2:F10
Is this possible?
Thank you,
 

Excel Facts

Move date out one month or year
Use =EDATE(A2,1) for one month later. Use EDATE(A2,12) for one year later.
The only way I know of is to change the font color of the text in the range to white. The text won't be visible in the cells but still visible in the formula bar if you click on it.

What I want is to select a range and have those rows and columns become vuissible, and all other rows and columns to be hidden.

For instance.
I select range B1:D10
In this case what I want is row 1 through 10 and columns B through D to become visible and all other hidden.
Is it possible?
Thank you,

Select your range and then run this macro:
Code:
Sub HideRowsCols()
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Dim LastRow As Long, lCol As Long, fRow As Long, lRow As Long, fCol As Long, lColumn As Long
    lColumn = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Columns.Count
    LastRow = Cells.Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
    With Selection
        fRow = .Cells(1, 1).Row
        lRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, .Columns.Count).Row
        fCol = .Cells(1, 1).Column
        lCol = .Cells(.Rows.Count, .Columns.Count).Column
    End With
    If fCol > 1 Then Range(Columns(1), Columns(fCol - 1)).EntireColumn.Hidden = True
    If lColumn > lCol Then Range(Cells(1, lCol + 1), Cells(1, lColumn)).EntireColumn.Hidden = True
    If fRow > 1 Then Rows("1:" & fRow - 1).Hidden = True
    If LastRow > lRow Then Rows(lRow + 1 & ":" & LastRow).Hidden = True
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
