Hide / Unhide Rows Based on Nonadjacent Empty Cells

Hi guys, how is everything?
Look, I seek your assistance here.

I’m trying to design a button to hide/unhide rows based on the empty cells in fixed column.

For example, the range is from A1:Z30 (1:1 is the heading row for the table).

The controlling column of the code is going to be G and G1 is always non-empty (as it belongs to the heading row), so we got a base here :D

But the dilemma that the empty cells in G column don’t have fixed positions along the column as it is going to be a dynamic range, and they are nonadjacent in unfixed way too.

So how to sort this out?
 

Excel Facts

Select a hidden cell
Somehide hide payroll data in column G? Press F5. Type G1. Enter. Look in formula bar while you arrow down through G.
Not quite sure that I understand this statement:
But the dilemma that the empty cells in G column don’t have fixed positions along the column as it is going to be a dynamic range, and they are nonadjacent in unfixed way too.
But if it is what I think it is, can't you just use Filters on column G to hide rows where G is empty?

If that is not what you are after, then perhaps it would be more clear if you could post a data sample, and explain what you want to happen in that example.

The filter is an option of course but I am trying to design an easy to go project for end users who aren't that familiar with Excel.

I'm not really sure how to upload attachment to this thread, I can't see the option for that while I'm replying you now.

You cannot upload files to this site. But there are tools you can use to post screen images. They are listed in Section B of this link here: http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/board-a...forum-use.html.
Also, there is a Test Here forum on this board that you can use to test out these tools to make sure they are working correctly before using them in your question.

You can create VBA code to do this for you (and attach it to a button).
You can get most of the VBA code needed to do this filter by turning on the Macro Recorder, and record yourself creating the filter manually.
Then, you will just need to do a little cleanup to make it dynamic.

It sounds like the number of rows may change. Is there one column that ALWAYS has data in it that we can use to find where the last row of data is (since column G may have blanks, that is not a good column to use to locate the last data row)?
