Question

As the title explains, I have an Excel 2003 workbook and I’m copying a number of columns of one sheet to another in VBA. Unknown to me, someone has hidden a few columns on the source sheet and it has messed up how I process the cells in the destination sheet.

How can I programmically determine:

1. IF there are hidden columns
2. WHICH columns are hidden?

Thanks!

Answer 1

For a Range, check the Range.Hidden property.

The following snippet from MSDN is a good example of how to hide/unhide a row/column:

 Worksheets("Sheet1").Columns("C").Hidden = True

You can also test the value with an If statement:

 For ColCounter = 1 To 10
      If Columns("C").Hidden = True Then
           Columns("C").Hidden = False
      End If
 Next
