I have a worksheet that I have created that unhides columns based on what is selected in a dropdown. My problem is that when those hidden columns appear and I select a value from the drop down in that previously hidden column all the columns that I want to stay hidden appear. I have tried updating the "Lotus compatibility" settings and that doesn't seem to work. A small portion of my code looks like below:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
If Target.Column = 7 And Target.Row = 3 And Target.Value = "1" Then
Application.Columns("I:M").Select
Application.Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = True
Else
Application.Columns("I:M").Select
Application.Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = False


If Target.Column = 7 And Target.Row = 3 And Target.Value = "2" Then
Application.Columns("J:M").Select
Application.Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = True
Else
Application.Columns("J:M").Select
Application.Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = False

I'm probably doing this whole forum thing wrong so I'm sorry! Very new to this and am pretty lost!
 

Excel Facts

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
You should start with :
Code:
Columns("I:M").EntireColumn.Hidden=False

so now we are sure everything is unhidden. Then you should have :

Code:
If Target.Column=7 And Target.Row=3 Then
    If Target.Value=1 Then
        .... do your stuff
    ElseIf Target.Value=2 Then
        ... do your stuff
    ElseIf ....

Hope this is what you are looking for!
