Hiding Tabs - again

Hey Folks,
I've read a ton of posts on this subject and tried a few of the solutions provided, but I couldn't get them to work in my Excel 365 spreadsheet.
I am trying to accomplish hiding subsequent tabs based on a cell value of another tab. I believe I must create all the maximum number of tabs possible and hide those that are not required? Maybe I'm going about this backwards.

Sheet 1 contains top level tasks. The user can enter 1 to 30 separate tasks, (column A6:A35). The user enters starting at row 6, then 7, then 8 etc. User will never enter row 6 then skip to row 12.

Each of those 1-30 tasks then has it's own sheet(tab). So far a maximum tab count of 31 if they enter all 30 tasks. If the user only enters 4 of the possible 30 tasks on sheet 1, I only want to display a total of 5 tabs, and hide the tabs that are not needed.
To complicate it further, each of the 4 entered tasks has it own task list of up to 50 tasks and the same thing, if they only enter 43 tasks, I only want to show the 43 tabs and hide the other 7 not including already showing the 4 of 30 tabs

Maybe this could be better described as drill down, or a drill up, I don't know anymore :eeek:. Each level drilled down to, gets potentially larger.
To reverse engineer it, I have 5 to 1000 tasks which roll up into 1 to 50 tasks which roll up to 1 to 30 tasks which are listed on tab 1. How do i only display tabs that need to be shown because the task it comes from has data.

Have you guys got an ideas?

Difference between two dates
Secret function! Use =DATEDIF(A2,B2,"Y")&" years"&=DATEDIF(A2,B2,"YM")&" months"&=DATEDIF(A2,B2,"MD")&" days"
I've never actually tried to make a workbook with 1000 worksheets...but I would guess this will be problematic. I see the Microsoft spec says no limit / worksheets are limited to available memory.....

I think you would want to rethink your process...perhaps 1000 sheets are not needed? I would concentrate on simplifying your process. Why do you need a worksheet for each task? Can they not be contained on a single sheet? Could a user not filter on the specific task they need to access? Could you not group different types of tasks together?
