Hi all, i would to provide me support so that, when i enter in cell "I4" the text "MONTHLY" should hide automatically the entire columns "D" and "E" and when i change the text to "YEARLY" should unhide the columns. Thank you all in advance

Why can't spreadsheets drive cars? They crash too often!
How about
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
   If Target.CountLarge > 1 Then Exit Sub
   If Target.Address(0, 0) = "I4" Then
      Range("D:E").EntireColumn.Hidden = Target = "MONTHLY"
   End If
End Sub

Hi Fluff, it doesn't work but thank you for your support. The cell "I4" contains by default the text "MONTHLY" and so the code should valid this text / word and base on it should hide the columns "D" & "E" and whenever i change the text to "YEARLY" should unhide the related columns. Do not worry if is a complicate function . I can process by manual method. Thanks once again for your support.

Did you put the code the sheet module where you want to hide the columns?
If so, did you change the value in I4

I copied the code into the VBA module but it doesn't run and then i changed the 1st line "Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)" to "Sub Worksheet" and It stops on the below point:
If Target.CountLarge > 1 Then Exit Sub
The message is: "Run-time error 424"
"Object required"

I'm have to write somewhere the name of the sheet?

Thank you Fluff for your attempt to resolve my project. Hv a great day!

Right click the tab on the sheet you want this to work on, select View code & paste the code into the window that opens up.
Do not change the name of the sub.

I am sorry that i bother you again Fluff, just i wanted to incorporate the above code with another one. I mean before the "End Sub" of a previous command/code, i would like to paste your above code. I attempted but it doesn't work. Apologies for such query. Many thanks in advance
