Hello :grin:

New forum member here and a novice/ intermediate at Excel. Could use some help as I'm not able to get through this on my own.

So presumably I got a data validation list in the first column with Yes/No. When the user chooses the option yes I want the actions and costs column to appear. I'm stuck with the multiple data I got to show its nothing like a Lookup or like that and I can't seem to find a way how to do it
:-?

[TABLE="width: 500"]

Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
So you have a Data Validation list In all you cells in column A
And if you choose "Yes" You want columns B and C Visible
But if you choose "No" you want Columns B and C Hidden

Is that what you want.
And you know this will require Vba

If the answer to my questions are yes then try this:
If No please re explain your needs.

This is an auto sheet event script
Your Workbook must be Macro enabled
To install this code:
Right-click on the sheet tab
Select View Code from the pop-up context menu
Paste the code in the VBA edit window

With this script it will run any time you manually enter or from a Data Validation list choose Yes or No

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
'Modified  2/11/2019  6:06:19 PM  EST
If Target.Column = 1 Then
If Target.Cells.CountLarge > 1 Or IsEmpty(Target) Then Exit Sub
If Target.Value = "Yes" Then Columns("B:C").Hidden = False
If Target.Value = "No" Then Columns("B:C").Hidden = True
End If
End Sub
