Hide the whole row when a range of cells is empty - vba

I have a range of cells B2:AB40.
If every cell in each row within the the range is blank (by which I mean no text or numbers, just colour fill and border formatting), I want to hide the whole of the row using a macro.
e.g.
If every cell in the range B2:AB2 is blank then hide all of row 2.
If every cell in the range B3:AB3 is blank then hide all of row 3
If every cell in the range B4:AB4 is blank then hide all of row 4..etc etc etc
Up to and including row 40.
N.B. Each cell in column A and AC in every row adjacent to the specified range will always have text (someone's name and a formula result respectively) and this cannot be changed.
I have seen various ways of doing this based on a single cell but cannot seem to adapt them for my purposes.
Any help is appreciated.

Consider:
Sub RowHider()
Dim I As Long, wf As WorksheetFunction
Set wf = Application.WorksheetFunction
For I = 2 To 40
If wf.CountA(Range("B" & I & ":AB" & I)) = 0 Then
Rows(I).Hidden = True
Else
Rows(I).Hidden = False
End If
Next I
End Sub
Note the usage of a worksheet function in VBA.

Try this
Sub HideRangeIfEmpty()
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(Range("b2:AB2")) = 0 Then
Range("b2:AB2").EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If
End Sub

How to automatically hide/unhide rows based on cell value VBA

I have a worksheet with multiple pull-down lists in Col A. The pull downs change values of the cells below in Column A to either "Skip" or some other value. I am looking to hide the rows with "Skip" in Column A, as well as the one row below the cells with value "Skip". I've got this to work on another sheet with columns of horizontally oriented data, but have gotten stuck with the data oriented vertically (in one column). I've been able to get the rows to hide, but they will not unhide when the cell value is no longer "Skip".
Here's the code I've got running currently:
`Sub Worksheet_Change_Hiding()
Dim rng As Range
Dim s As String
s = "Skip"
Application.EnableEvents = True
For i = 1 To 50
Set rng = Cells(i, 1)
If rng.EntireRow.Hidden = 0 Then
If rng.Value = s Then rng.EntireRow.Hidden = 1
Else
If rng.Value <> s Then rng.EntireRow.Hidden = 0
End If
Next i
End Sub`

VBA check for empty cells in column and print value

In column J there are empty rows and rows with a value such as checked.
I have tried to write VBA code that prints "unchecked" where there is an empty cell AND this works, but when it hits a cell with a value (checked) it stops. And it won't go down to the next cell probably because I have formulas in the cell that prints nothing if not fullfilled, but it still contains that formula. In my case I have empty cells until J7 and then it starts again at J15. But this can change from time to time regarding source data.
The reason I want to do it like this is because I have a formula in column J that already have printed some values and then some VBA code that checks for other values in a different column and prints to column J. Column J is the filter master column sort of. So this is the way I have to do it I guess.
My code right now is,
Sub DoIfNotEmpty()
Dim ra As Range, re As Range
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")
Set ra = .Range("J:j25")
For Each re In ra
If IsEmpty(re.Value) Then
re.Value = "unchecked"
End If
Next re
End With
End Sub
Can I print to empty cells if the cell contains a formula which in this case has an if statement that is not filled?
Except from #Maxime Porté's points out that it should be .Range("J1:j25"). I guess the cells only look empty, but they are not.
A cell that contains an empty string, "", is not empty anymore, but it looks like it. You can test it like this:
In a new worksheet write in A1: ="" (there is no space in between!)
Copy A1 and special paste values in A1. A1 now looks to be empty.
Run Debug.Print IsEmpty(Range("A1").Value) in VBA and you get a FALSE.
The cell A1 is not empty any more, because it contains an empty string.
What can you do?
Sub DoIfNotEmpty()
Dim ra As Range, re As Range
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")
Set ra = .Range("J1:J25")
For Each re In ra
If IsEmpty(re.Value) or re.Value = vbNullString Then
re.Value = "unchecked"
End If
Next re
End With
End Sub
This will mark pseudo empty cells as "unchecked" too. But be aware that it also kills formulas that result in an empty string, "".
You could exploit the Specialcells() method of Range object:
Sub DoIfNotEmpty()
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("J1:J25").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).Value = "unchecked"
End Sub
Or, if you have formulas returning blanks, then AutoFilter() "blank" cells and write in them
Sub DoIfNotEmpty()
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheeet1").Range("J1:J25") '<--| reference your range (first row must be a "header")
.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="" '<--| filter its empty cells
If Application.WorksheetFunction.Subtotal(103, .cells) > 1 Then .Resize(.Rows.Count - 1).Offset(1).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Value = "unchecked" '<--| if any cell filtered other than headers then write "unchecked" in them
.Parent.AutoFilterMode = False
End With
End Sub

VBA Excel Adjusting Row Height

I am creating a report in Excel and I would like VBA to format the row height based upon the value in column K. For example, if cell K17 = 11.25, I want row 17 to be 11.25. Cell k18 = 21.75 so row 18 =21.75.
I need vba to change every row from 17-400.
This should be relatively simple but I can't seem to come up with the correct coding.
Since this is an easy one, I went ahead and provided the answer for you:
Sub RowHeight()
Dim ws as Worksheet
Set ws = Sheets("mySheet") 'replace with your sheet name
Dim rCell as Range
For each rCell in ws.Range("K17:K400")
rCell.EntireRow.RowHeight = rCell.Value
Next
End Sub

Hide rows based on multiple cells

I need to hide rows in excel based on the value of multiple cells in the same row. If my row contains all 0's or is blank I need it hid. If there is any integer (not 0 or neg) I need the row shown. On the same sheet I have 'section headers' that separate sections, and below that, a row of blanks. Can I leave those intentional blanks in? I've had a few partially working lines written out, I just can't get it all together.
Hope this make sense and thanks for any help!
Edit: Now if I have a hidden column I'd like for the 'sum' to disregard the hidden column. I've tried nesting something inside RowanC's answer but no go.
For Each myRow In hideRange.Rows
For Each cell In hideRange.Cells
If cell.Columns.Hidden = False Then
Total = Total + cell.Value
End If
Next
If Total = 0 Then 'if the sum of the row=0 then hide
myRow.EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If
Next
My quick go at it:
Sub rowHider1()
Dim hideRange As Range
Dim myRow As Range
Set hideRange = Sheets(2).Range("A2:D12") 'you must set this to apply to the range you want (you could use active selection if you wanted)
hideRange.Rows.EntireRow.Hidden = False 'unhide any rows currently hidden
For Each myRow In hideRange.Rows
If Application.WorksheetFunction.Sum(myRow) = 0 Then 'if the sum of the row=0 then hide
myRow.EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If
Next
End Sub
to take this a step further, and if a column is hidden, don't include it in the sum, moving away from worksheetFunction sum:
Sub rowHider()
Dim hideRange As Range
Dim myRow As Range
Dim cell As Range
Dim bob As Double
Set hideRange = Sheets(2).Range("A1:G12") 'you must set this to apply to the range you want (you could use active selection if you wanted)
hideRange.Rows.EntireRow.Hidden = False 'unhide any rows currently hidden
For Each myRow In hideRange.Rows
bob = 0
For Each cell In myRow.Cells()
If cell.EntireColumn.Hidden <> True Then
Debug.Print cell.Address & " " & cell.Value
bob = bob + cell.Value
End If
Next
If bob = 0 Then 'if the sum of the row=0 then hide
myRow.EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If
Next
End Sub

vba searching through rows and their associated columns and highlight if conditions meet

The code below would search through a row and its associated columns.
For Row 7, if it is a "N" or "TR" and if all entries are blank below line 12,the code would hide the entire column.
However, I still need help with some further help!
If there is a "N" or "TR" in row 7. If there is something writen in any cell, (rather than leaving it alone), can I highlight its associated cell in row 7 in yellow?
If ther eis a "Y" in row 7, If there is any empty cells, can I highlight its associated cell in row 7 in yellow?
Thank you so much! special thanks to KazJaw for my previous post about simular issue

attached example of spreadsheet
Here you have an improved version of your code (although I might need further clarifications... read below).
Sub checkandhide()
Dim r as Range, Cell As Range, curRange As Range
Set r = Range("A7", Cells(7, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft))
For Each Cell In r
Set curRange = Range(Cells(13, Cell.Column), Cells(Rows.Count, Cell.Column)) 'Range from row 13 until last row in the given column
If Cell.Value = "N" Or Cell.Value = "TR" Then
If Application.CountBlank(curRange) = curRange.Cells.Count Then
Cell.EntireColumn.Hidden = True
Else
Cell.Interior.ColorIndex = 6 'http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/excel/colors.htm
End If
ElseIf Cell.Value = "Y" Then
If Application.CountBlank(curRange) > 0 Then
Cell.Interior.ColorIndex = 6 'http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/excel/colors.htm
End If
End If
Next
End Sub
I am not sure if I have understood your instructions properly and thus I will describe here what this code does exactly; please, comment any issue which is not exactly as you want and such that I can update the code accordingly:
It looks for all the cells in range r.
If the given cell (which might be in row 7 or in any other row below it) meets one of the conditions, the corresponding actions would be performed.
Part of the conditions depends on curRange, which is defined as all the rows between row number 13 until the end of the spreadsheet.
Specific conditions:
a) If the value of the current cell is N or TR. If all the cells in curRange are blank, the current column is hidden. If there is, at least, a non-blank cell, the background color of the given cell would be set to yellow.
b) If the value of the current cell is Y and there is, at least, one cell in curRange which is not blank, the background color of the background cell would be set to yellow.
