I tried recording a macro [twice] but selecting the 'option' in A1 (drop down: All, Pricing, Review) doesn't seem to get me anything.... :confused:
VBA Code: 
Sub Macro1()
'
' Macro2 Macro
'

'
    Columns("A:AN").Select
    Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = False
    Range("C:D,Q:AC").Select
    Range("Q1").Activate
    Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = True
End Sub

I am trying to dynamically hide/show columns based upon the selection is A1. Something like:
IF A1 = "All" then show all columns
OR IF A1 = "Pricing" show cols A:B, F:J, AND HIDE cols N:P, AF:AN
OR IF A1 = "Review" show cols A,C, F:J, AND HIDE cols B, N,P etc.....
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.

like this ??

VBA Code: 
Sub Macro1()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

    Dim RangeAll As Range, RangePricing As Range, RangeReview As Range
    
    Set RangeAll = Columns.EntireColumn
    Set RangePricing = Union(Range("N:P"), Range("AF:AN"))
    Set RangeReview = Union(Range("B:B"), Range("N:N"), Range("P:P"))
    
    
    If Range("A1") = "All" Then
            RangeAll.Hidden = False
        
        ElseIf Range("A1") = "Pricing" Then
            RangeAll.Hidden = False
            RangePricing.EntireColumn.Hidden = True
    
        ElseIf Range("A1") = "Review" Then
            RangeAll.Hidden = False
            RangeReview.EntireColumn.Hidden = True
    
        Else
            RangeAll.Hidden = False
    End If

End Sub

I copied that into a module, but nothing happens when I change cell A1. I've only assigned a macro to an image - since it's referencing a specific cell, should it work just by copy/pasting, or is there something else I have to do?
