I'm not sure what you are asking about the range names. I assigned each to a group of cells in a row, cells that detect if the column is empty or not. The macro, which hides columns that are empty, works fine as long as the value is not 16. In that case, no columns are empty and the formula you don't like tries to hide nothing and that crashes it. The only error I get is run time error 1004 and no cells were found. I tried running it adding dim statements AS INTEGER and that changed nothing Here is the entire macro. Thx much!
Sub hideColumns() Dim ES2TERM As Integer Dim ES1TERM As Integer Dim ES3TERM As Integer If ES1TERM < 16 Then Sheets("CFA-S1").Select Application.Goto reference:="test.hide.col.ES1" Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeFormulas, 16).Select Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = True ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True _ , AllowFormattingCells:=True, AllowFormattingColumns:=True, _ AllowFormattingRows:=True Range("a2").Select End If If ES2TERM < 16 Then Sheets("CFA-S2").Select Application.Goto reference:="test.hide.col.ES2" Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeFormulas, 16).Select Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = True ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True _ , AllowFormattingCells:=True, AllowFormattingColumns:=True, _ AllowFormattingRows:=True Range("a2").Select End If If ES3TERM < 16 Then Sheets("CFA-S3").Select Application.Goto reference:="test.hide.col.ES3" Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeFormulas, 16).Select Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = True ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True _ , AllowFormattingCells:=True, AllowFormattingColumns:=True, _ AllowFormattingRows:=True Range("a2").Select End If End Sub On Monday, June 16, 2014 11:43:06 AM UTC-7, dea...@aol.com wrote: > > I've been gone for a long while and forgot some of what little I knew > about proper VBA syntax.
