Hiding and unhiding multiple cells based on one cells values.

[bigbee10200]

Hello everyone,
I'm not well versed on VB or Macros, and that will be Obviously apparent when you see my workbook. I'm trying to write a code that will allow me to hide and unhide sheets based on once cells value. However, my code writing is terrible. I've been racking my head for 2 or 3 weeks. In the "General" tab If cell named "HowManyWells" (Q4) has a selected value, I only want the corresponding tab to be displayed. The code I've been working on is great only if "1" is selected. If I continue the code as written, and select "2", the tab 2 Wells is displayed. However if I go back "1" in "HowManyWells", both the "1 Well" than and the "2 Wells" tab are displayed. The general tab should always be displayed. I just don't know what to do. Thanks for the help in advanced.

Below is the code I was using:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)


If [HowManyWells] = "1" Then
Sheets("2 Wells").Visible = False
Sheets("3 Wells").Visible = False
Sheets("4 Wells").Visible = False
Sheets("5 Wells").Visible = False
Sheets("6 Wells").Visible = False
Sheets("7 Wells").Visible = False
Sheets("8 Wells").Visible = False
Sheets("9 Wells").Visible = False
Sheets("10 Wells").Visible = False
Sheets("11 Wells").Visible = False
Sheets("12 Wells").Visible = False
Sheets("13 Wells").Visible = False
Sheets("14 Wells").Visible = False
Sheets("15 Wells").Visible = False
Sheets("16 Wells").Visible = False
Sheets("17 Wells").Visible = False
Sheets("18 Wells").Visible = False
Sheets("19 Wells").Visible = False
Sheets("20 Wells").Visible = False
Else
Sheets("1 Well").Visible = True
Sheets("2 Wells").Visible = True
Sheets("3 Wells").Visible = True
Sheets("4 Wells").Visible = True
Sheets("5 Wells").Visible = True
Sheets("6 Wells").Visible = True
Sheets("7 Wells").Visible = True
Sheets("8 Wells").Visible = True
Sheets("9 Wells").Visible = True
Sheets("10 Wells").Visible = True
Sheets("11 Wells").Visible = True
Sheets("12 Wells").Visible = True
Sheets("13 Wells").Visible = True
Sheets("14 Wells").Visible = True
Sheets("15 Wells").Visible = True
Sheets("16 Wells").Visible = True
Sheets("17 Wells").Visible = True
Sheets("18 Wells").Visible = True
Sheets("19 Wells").Visible = True
Sheets("20 Wells").Visible = True
End If


If [HowManyWells] = "2" Then
Sheets("1 Well").Visible = False
Sheets("3 Wells").Visible = False
Sheets("4 Wells").Visible = False
Sheets("5 Wells").Visible = False
Sheets("6 Wells").Visible = False
Sheets("7 Wells").Visible = False
Sheets("8 Wells").Visible = False
Sheets("9 Wells").Visible = False
Sheets("10 Wells").Visible = False
Sheets("11 Wells").Visible = False
Sheets("12 Wells").Visible = False
Sheets("13 Wells").Visible = False
Sheets("14 Wells").Visible = False
Sheets("15 Wells").Visible = False
Sheets("16 Wells").Visible = False
Sheets("17 Wells").Visible = False
Sheets("18 Wells").Visible = False
Sheets("19 Wells").Visible = False
Sheets("20 Wells").Visible = False
Else
Sheets("1 Well").Visible = True
Sheets("2 Wells").Visible = True
Sheets("3 Wells").Visible = True
Sheets("4 Wells").Visible = True
Sheets("5 Wells").Visible = True
Sheets("6 Wells").Visible = True
Sheets("7 Wells").Visible = True
Sheets("8 Wells").Visible = True
Sheets("9 Wells").Visible = True
Sheets("10 Wells").Visible = True
Sheets("11 Wells").Visible = True
Sheets("12 Wells").Visible = True
Sheets("13 Wells").Visible = True
Sheets("14 Wells").Visible = True
Sheets("15 Wells").Visible = True
Sheets("16 Wells").Visible = True
Sheets("17 Wells").Visible = True
Sheets("18 Wells").Visible = True
Sheets("19 Wells").Visible = True
Sheets("20 Wells").Visible = True
End If


End Sub

Hi,
welcome to the forum.

see if following update to your code does what you want

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

    Dim i As Integer
    If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range("HowManyWells")) Is Nothing Then
        For i = 1 To 20
            Sheets(i & " Wells").Visible = Target.Value = i
        Next i
    End If


End Sub

It is assumed that the value in your named range HowManyWells is entered directly & not changed by formula.

Dave,

Thanks so much, worked like a dream. Your a real life saver, now Im on to the next task of getting a email button (that will open outlook and copy and paste a range of cells), clear data button (for a range of cells). But you have help out tremendously. Thanks so much.
