Hide Multiple Sheets in Excel VBA - ExcelVbaIsFun Quick Tips

[@angelbhaves1]

Hello, I am trying to hide sheets based on multiple drop-down selections. How would you go about this?

Hey Dan, any chance you have a video or can direct me to a video that shows how to make use of information in other excel files in excel vba to create a new file? I can do this by opening and closing them in a macro but I had heard there's a way that works without opening and closing workbooks

[@relaxingmusicforall9568]

Hi! I have an question: it is possible for users to use the file simultaneously and to display each the visible sheets for their own user?

Hi there, not sure what you mean by 'it shows select some macros enabled files for this'. Can you elaborate please? Thanks

@@ExcelVbaIsFun excel shows a popup when i am trying to save vba code. It is Can’t save without any enabled macros. Or save as normal workbook. This is the popup shows

[@ExcelVbaIsFun]

@@zain1991 Ok, I see. You need to save the file as a macro enabled file, so ending in .XLSM or .XLSB instead of normal .XLSX file. If this popup occurs, just tell it to cancel the save and do a File->Save As

Hi Dan Thanks for the video I am a little lost in the VBA formulas and I think I have a much more complicated scenario. So I have a main sheet and about 6 sheets (Tabs) I need to hide all at the same time if nothing is selected in my drop-down menu. When I choose an item from the menu I only want the sheet referenced in the drop-down menu to appear. This is true for each of the drop-down menus. lets make it easier, I have 2 drop down menu and each menu should only reference 5 sheets per drop-down menu. drop-down menu 1 - references 5 sheets (Sheet 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) - Pens, erasers, paper, toner, rulers drop-down menu 2 - references 5 sheets (Sheet 7, 8, 9, 10, 11) - Coffee, Tee, Soda, Hot Chocolate, milk So to explain if I select Pens from my drop-down on my main sheet all the other sheets must stay hidden except for the sheet named Pens. And like wise for the 2nd drop-down, when I select Soda then all the sheets should stay hidden except for Soda. However I want to now be able to see only 3 sheets, the main sheet, the Pens sheet and the Soda sheet and all other sheets should still remain hidden.... Question how do I achieve this in VBA. I have been looking at all kinds of suggestions today and I can make it hide all the sheets, and display one sheet however when I select another sheet it a) either does not hide the fist sheet and displays the send selected sheet or the formula returns an error. Are you able to assist or guide me to a place on the when where I can get more info on VBA please. I can also send you the actual workbook if you wanted to take a look at what I am trying to achieve.

Do we have any possibility to hide or veryhide every chosen list? So we can choose multiple lists and hide them at once.

[@ExcelVbaIsFun]

Hi Zrbite0, I would make different macros that hide what you need as in this video, this way you can call whichever macro to do these things for you. Hope that makes sense. Thanks Dan
