I a very green to VBA (self taught in the last 3 weeks)... I created the below code, which works but is VERY slow.

I am hoping someone can help as I still need to protect/unprotect the worksheets which is only going to further impact performance.

The code has 3 intended results:
1) Reading a matrix I created on the active sheet (O2:P17) with formulas to make all defined sheets visible or very hidden​
(O has sheet name and P has Yes/No - I replaced Worksheet.("O2") with Sheet4. in case a user renames sheets).​
2) Hide rows throughout the workbook dependent on User selected answers. (Alternatively, each row that needs to be hidden has a formulated "Hide" in column A of the specific row. Not sure if there is a way to loop through the entire workbook and hide/unhide dynamically without clicks on the specific worksheet).​
3) Hide Columns in two specific worksheets dependent on User selected answers.​

The code did not have performance issues until I replaced "Sheet Names" with Code Names (i.e. Sheet21.) throughout.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to MrExcel,

Since you are triggering the code when there's a change in the worksheet, one step to better performance would be to only execute the actions that would be driven by the changed cell.

The parameter Target in the declaration is the cell or cells that were changed. If Target.Address= "$P$2", and the value of $P$2= "Yes" then you only need to execute one corresponding action.

why not put it in the worksheet deactivate event instead of the worksheet change event, then you only do it once when you leave the sheet

Ah - If I select a Target then each time that defined target is updated, it triggers the action. What if the cell in reference "$P$2" is not part of the user's form but a formulated "Yes" after a bunch of selections are made? Can I set the Target.Address to be a reference to a range of cells, each time they are updated to trigger the specified action?

Target is assigned to the cell or cells that were directly modified. If the value of a cell changes because of a dependent formula, that won't be included in Target.

So your event code can check to see if any cells within a range of direct user input cells was changed, then if so, respond to those changes which might include reading updated values of formulas in other cells.

I'm not sure this will speed up your code, but it cleans it up a little. Not knowing the structure of the workbook you are dealing with makes it difficult to offer suggestions, but the on change does trigger whenever there is a change in the workbook, and it cycles through every cell you have referenced in your code. And Modifies every sheet that you have referenced. Maybe it would be faster to start with hiding all the sheets, then only unhide those that need to be unhidden.

Code: 
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim i As Long
    For i = 2 To 17
        If Range("P" & i).Value = "Yes" Then
            Worksheets(Range("O" & i).Value).Visible = True
        Else
            Worksheets(Range("O" & i).Value).Visible = False
        End If
    Next i
 
    If Range("J5").Value = "n/a" Then
        Sheet3.Range("12:12,34:38,41:41,44:44,47:47,52:52,55:55").EntireRow.Hidden = True
        Sheet21.Range("13:13,35:39,42:42,45:45,48:48,50:50,53:53,56:56").EntireRow.Hidden = True
    Else
        Sheet3.Range("12:12,34:38,41:41,44:44,47:47,52:52,55:55").EntireRow.Hidden = False
        Sheet21.Range("13:13,35:39,42:42,45:45,48:48,50:50,53:53,56:56").EntireRow.Hidden = False

    End If
