Auto Hide a Column in Excel When a Specific Cell is Blank

Zone: Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software

Tags: Excel VB Hide Column

I would like to atomically hide column "N" when cell "N5" is blank, but once cell "N5" has data in it again I want Excel to automatically unhide column "N". Can this be done?

I'm guessing this will have to be performed with VB, and I'm a total nooby with VB, so please be specific on what the steps are. Thanks in advance, Jon

I'm not sure if it matters or not, but just in case here is some info that may help:

* The name of the worksheet containing column "N" is "Calendar"
* Cell N5 has a formula in it that displays data in it based on variables listed in another worksheet that pulls data from a database; i.e. I have to select the "Refresh All" button for the data to be updated.
