I want to display a selection in a drop down box (1-15). If "1" is chosen then rows 11, 27, & 43 should be displayed. If "2" is chosen then rows 11-12, 27-28, & 43-44 should be displayed. If "3" is chosen then rows 11-13, 27-29, & 43-45 should be displayed. If "4" is chosen then rows 11-14, 27-30, & 43-46 should be displayed. All the way to if "15" is chosen then rows 11-25, 27-41 & 43-57 is displayed. I thnk it would be a macro, I'm just not sure how to make this work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
 

Excel Facts

What is =ROMAN(40) in Excel?
The Roman numeral for 40 is XL. Bill "MrExcel" Jelen's 40th book was called MrExcel XL.
Assuming your data validation cell is D1.

Try something along the lines of

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Row = 1 And Target.Column = 4 Then
If Target.Value = 1 Then
Rows("12:26").Hidden = True
Rows("28:42").Hidden = True
Rows("44:100").Hidden = True
Else
Rows("12:100").Hidden = False

End If
End If

Let's assume the data validation cell is D1.
Right-click the sheetname and select VIEW CODE, paste in this sheet-level macro:
Rich (BB code):
Option Explicit

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim r As Long
    If Not Intersect(Target, Range("D1")) Is Nothing Then
        Range("A11:A57").EntireRow.Hidden = True
        r = Target.Value - 1
        Range("A11:A" & 11 + r).EntireRow.Hidden = False
        Range("A27:A" & 27 + r).EntireRow.Hidden = False
        Range("A43:A" & 43 + r).EntireRow.Hidden = False
    End If
End Sub

Or this, shorter, but harder to read:
Rich (BB code):
Option Explicit

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim r As Long
    If Not Intersect(Target, Range("D1")) Is Nothing Then
        Range("A11:A57").EntireRow.Hidden = True
        r = Target.Value - 1
        Range("A11:A" & 11 + r & ",A27:A" & 27 + r & ",A43:A" & 43 + r).EntireRow.Hidden = False
    End If
End Sub
The close the VBEditor and save your sheet. Now any change to D1 should change the visible rows.
