Hiding Rows based on a Condition

Let us assume we have 500 rows/records in a worksheet, we can loop through each row and check for a criteria and hide the rows. Let us see the verity of example with different criteria:

Hide all rows with the text data /strings in Column A

The following example will hide all all rows with the text data /strings in Column A.

LastRow = 500 'Let's say you have 500 rows in the data
For i = 1 To LastRow 'Now we loop through each row and check for required criteria

'To hide all the rows with the text data /strings  in Column A
If IsNumeric(Range("A" & i)) = False Then Rows(i).EntireRow.Hidden = True

Next

Hide all rows with the values as 0 in Column A

The following example will hide all all rows with the values as 0 in Column A.

LastRow = 500 'Let's say you have 500 rows in the data
For i = 1 To LastRow 'Now we loop through each row and check for required criteria

'to hide all the rows with the values as 0 in Column A
If Range("A" & i) = 0 Then Rows(i).EntireRow.Hidden = True

Next

Hide all rows with the negative values in Column A

The following example will hide all all rows with the negative values in Column A.

LastRow = 500 'Let's say you have 500 rows in the data
For i = 1 To LastRow 'Now we loop through each row and check for required criteria

'to hide all the rows with the negative values in Column A
If IsNumeric(Range("A" & i)) = True Then
    If Range("A" & i) < 0 Then Rows(i).EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If

Next

Hide all rows with the Positive values in Column A

The following example will hide all all rows with the Positive values in Column A.

LastRow = 500 'Let's say you have 500 rows in the data
For i = 1 To LastRow 'Now we loop through each row and check for required criteria

'to hide all the rows with the Positive values in Column A
If IsNumeric(Range("A" & i)) = True Then
    If Range("A" & i) > 0 Then Rows(i).EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If

Next

Hide all rows with the Even Number in Column A

The following example will hide all all rows with the Even Number in Column A.

LastRow = 500 'Let's say you have 500 rows in the data
For i = 1 To LastRow 'Now we loop through each row and check for required criteria

'To hide all the rows with the Even Number in Column A
If IsNumeric(Range("A" & i)) = True Then
    If Range("A" & i) Mod 2 = 0 Then Rows(i).EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If

Next

Hide all rows with the Odd Number in Column A

The following example will hide all all rows with the Odd Number in Column A.

LastRow = 500 'Let's say you have 500 rows in the data
For i = 1 To LastRow 'Now we loop through each row and check for required criteria

'To hide all the rows with the Odd Number in Column A
If IsNumeric(Range("A" & i)) = True Then
    If Range("A" & i) Mod 2 = 1 Then Rows(i).EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If

Next

Hide all rows if the value in Column A is greater than 50

The following example will hide all all rows if the value in Column A is greater than 50.

LastRow = 500 'Let's say you have 500 rows in the data
For i = 1 To LastRow 'Now we loop through each row and check for required criteria

'To hide all the rows if the value in Column A is greater than 50
If IsNumeric(Range("A" & i)) = True Then
    If Range("A" & i) > 50 Then Rows(i).EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If

Next

Hide all rows if the value in Column A is less than 100

The following example will hide all all rows if the value in Column A is less than 100.

LastRow = 500 'Let's say you have 500 rows in the data
For i = 1 To LastRow 'Now we loop through each row and check for required criteria

'To hide all the rows if the value in Column A is less than 100
If IsNumeric(Range("A" & i)) = True Then
    If Range("A" & i) < 100 Then Rows(i).EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If
