Macro Error

R

Roger Dodger

Hi,

I have the following macro that I inherited. It used to work well but stopped working a couple of years ago. I would like to get it working again but I can't fix the error. Can anyone please help. My company changed its drives recently and I think that I have fixed that part but with no real idea in VBA I am out of my depth.

Its like your talking another language.

You're welcome! I assure you the language is VB[A]! I also hide/unhide
rows/cols the same way...

Const sColsToHide As String...
Const sColsToUnhide As String...
Const sRowsToHide As String...
Const sRowsToUnhide As String...

vColsToHide = Split(sColsToHide, ",")
vColsToUnhide = Split(sColsToUnhide, ",")
vRowsToHide = Split(sRowsToHide, ",")
vRowsToUnhide = Split(sRowsToUnhide, ",")

This works for fixed cols/rows. For unknown cols/rows I build the
strings at runtime.

Might help if you post the actual code you have now.

Garry Mate,

All of your cleverness is wasted on me. Honest I don't have a clue when it
comes to VBA.

I pasted the text in and still couldn't get it to work.

I think that I will have to buy a book and start way back at the beginning.

I re did the work using vlookup and other formulas and for the moment it
works. Unfortunately it is much slower.

Has VBA changed much since excel 2003?. That is all we have at work.

Thanks for you help, any book or web recommendations for learning VBA are
most welcome.

Thanks again

Roger

Maybe I could review your file if it contains clearly what you want and
an example of the expected results.

It hasn't changed (VBA6.x)since 2003 for x32 Office. VBA for x64 Office
is new (VBA7).

Anything by John Walkenbach is a good place to start. Also, google
Excel VBA and see what links pop up for tips/samples from Excel MVP
websites.
Thanks again
