Hi I cannot figure this out for the life of me!
I need a code that will unhide rows 8-47 when 'Yes - Answer questions below' is selected in drop down list of cell E7.

The same goes for the following on the same sheet:
I need a code that will unhide rows 57-91 when 'Yes - Answer questions below' is selected in drop down list of cell E56.
*I guess I can just copy and paste the code for above and change it slightly for the second request?

hopefully someone can help :-D

@Essencex Welcome
Try like this Change Event code. Paste into the sheet's code pane.

VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
    If Not Target = "Yes - Answer questions below" Then Exit Sub
    Select Case Target.Address
    Case "$E$7"
        Range("E8:E47").Rows.EntireRow.Hidden = False
        
    Case "$E$56"
        Range("E57:E91").Rows.EntireRow.Hidden = False
    Case Else
    End Select
    
End Sub
HTH

Hi, Try like..

VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim HideRows As Boolean
    If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
    HideRows = Not Target = "Yes - Answer questions below"
    Select Case Target.Address
    Case "$E$7"
        Range("E8:E47").Rows.EntireRow.Hidden = HideRows
        
    Case "$E$56"
        Range("E57:E91").Rows.EntireRow.Hidden = HideRows
    Case Else
    End Select
    
End Sub
