Hello, i want to write some code that will hide rows when a set criteria is met . example sheet below.

[TABLE="width: 864"]

Agent code is column D, allocated to is column K

Effectively what i want to do is look at column K, if cell value is not MPM Holding Pot, PRM Holding Pot, Outbound unrequired or "", then look at column D, and hide all codes with the corresponding agent code. for example, column K Simon, hide all rows where agent code is 781356 couild be 1 or 100 rows with that number

Hope this makes sense, if anyone can help
 
sorry, yes row six should be hidden

second example
rows 2,3,4 all agent code 780206 should be hidden as one allocated to simon
row 5,7 781356 should be hidden as one allocated to simon
row 6 783972 hidden as allocated to Jeff

hope below example makes it more clear, added whether it should be visible or not under queue status

Excel Facts

Last used cell?
Press Ctrl+End to move to what Excel thinks is the last used cell.
Code:
Public Sub Godders199()

Dim lastRow As Long
Dim thisRow As Long
Dim myDic As Object

' Create the dictionary
Set myDic = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")

' Find the last row
lastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUp).Row

' Look at all rows
For thisRow = 2 To lastRow
    Select Case LCase(Cells(thisRow, "K").Value)
        Case "mpm holdingpot", "prm holdingpot", "outbound unrequired", ""
            ' Nothing to do - should be visible
        Case Else
            ' Add this to the list of values to hide
            If Not myDic.Exists(Cells(thisRow, "D").Value) Then
                myDic.Add Cells(thisRow, "D").Value, "Hide"
            End If
    End Select
Next thisRow

' Look at all rows again
For thisRow = 2 To lastRow
    ' Hide if necessary
    If myDic.Exists(Cells(thisRow, "D").Value) Then
        Cells(thisRow, "A").EntireRow.Hidden = True
    End If
Next thisRow

End Sub

Can be done most easily in two passes then.

Thanks WBD for all your help, this works perfectly. One final question, if I filter a different column after running this code, it also shows the hidden rows .. is there a way to filter just on visible rows?


Code:
Public Sub Godders199()

Dim lastRow As Long
Dim thisRow As Long
Dim myDic As Object

' Create the dictionary
Set myDic = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")

' Find the last row
lastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUp).Row

' Look at all rows
For thisRow = 2 To lastRow
    Select Case LCase(Cells(thisRow, "K").Value)
        Case "mpm holdingpot", "prm holdingpot", "outbound unrequired", ""
            ' Nothing to do - should be visible
        Case Else
            ' Add this to the list of values to hide
            If Not myDic.Exists(Cells(thisRow, "D").Value) Then
                myDic.Add Cells(thisRow, "D").Value, "Hide"
            End If
    End Select
Next thisRow

' Look at all rows again
For thisRow = 2 To lastRow
    ' Hide if necessary
    If myDic.Exists(Cells(thisRow, "D").Value) Then
        Cells(thisRow, "A").EntireRow.Hidden = True
    End If
Next thisRow

End Sub

Hey. I don't think you can do what you're asking. You have two options:

1. Remove the rows instead of hiding them.
2. Instead of hiding the rows, put a new value into another column which you can use for filtering.

ok, so how would i change the above code, to put "hide" in column AA for every row i want hide using the same logic for when a row should be hidden?

Change this:

Code:
' Look at all rows again
For thisRow = 2 To lastRow
    ' Hide if necessary
    If myDic.Exists(Cells(thisRow, "D").Value) Then
        Cells(thisRow, "A").EntireRow.Hidden = True
    End If
Next thisRow

To this:

Code:
' Look at all rows again
For thisRow = 2 To lastRow
    Cells(thisRow, "AA").Value = IIf(myDic.Exists(Cells(thisRow, "D").Value), "Hide", "")
Next thisRow
