Good morning!!

To start, I understand that columns can be hidden/unhidden via the Format function on the toolbar. What I need to have happen is to use IsDate to search F2:F40 for a date, none particular, but a date. If not, in the row containing the False return, look at the contents in column A, Match it in Sheet2, whatever column it is in, and hide that column. If it does, just fall through and continue. Let me know if I can detail it better than below;

How about
Code: 
Sub jarhead()
    Dim Cl As Range, Fnd As Range
    
    For Each Cl In Range("F2:F40")
        If Not IsDate(Cl.Value) Then
            Set Fnd = Sheets("sheet2").Rows(1).Find(Cl.Offset(, -5).Value, , , xlWhole, , , False, , False)
            If Not Fnd Is Nothing Then Fnd.EntireColumn.Hidden = True
        End If
    Next Cl
End Sub

So you actually made sense of it huh?

For future reference, how can I get an excel table to copy into the message, if possible?

I only want the column that didn't have a date to be hidden on sheet2. Hopefully that clears it up a little lol!

Assuming it was on this line
Code: 
Set Fnd = Sheets("[COLOR=#ff0000]sheet2[/COLOR]").Rows(1).Find(Cl.Offset(, -5).Value, , , xlWhole, , , False, , False)
Change the value in red to match your actual sheet name
