How to hide rows based on cell value in Excel?

Supposing you have a range of data, and you want to hide the rows based on a column value, for instance, if the cell value of the column is smaller than 3000, then hide the row of the cell as below screenshot shown.


In Excel, you can use the Filter function to filter and hide the rows based on cell value.

1. Select the data you want to filter out, and click Data > Filter. See screenshot:

doc hide rows based on value 2

2. Then click on the down arrow to display the filter drop down list, and click Number Filters (or Text Filters) > Greater Than (you can choose other criterion you need from the submenu). See screenshot:

doc hide rows based on value 3

3. In the popping dialog, type the criterion into the textbox next to is greater than. See screenshot:

doc hide rows based on value 4

4. Click OK. Now the only the data greater than 3000 is shown, and the rows whose data is smaller than 3000 are hidden.

Moreover, if you are interested in VBA code, here I can introduce a VBA code to hide rows based on cell value.

1. Press Alt + F11 keys to enable Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window.

2. Then click Insert > Module to open a new Module window, and paste below VBA code into it.

VBA: Hide rows based on cell value.

Sub HideRow()
'Updateby20150618
Dim Rng As Range
Dim WorkRng As Range
Dim xNumber As Integer
On Error Resume Next
xTitleId = "KutoolsforExcel"
Set WorkRng = Application.Selection
Set WorkRng = Application.InputBox("Range", xTitleId, WorkRng.Address, Type:=8)
xNumber = Application.InputBox("Number", xTitleId, "", Type:=1)
For Each Rng In WorkRng
    Rng.EntireRow.Hidden = Rng.Value < xNumber
Next
End Sub

3. Then press F5 key to run the VBA, then select the data range you want to hide rows into the popping dialog (excluding headers). See screenshot:

doc hide rows based on value 6

4. Click OK, and type the criterion number into the second dialog. See screenshot:

doc hide rows based on value 7

5. Click OK. Now the rows whose data is smaller than 3000 are hidden.

Tip: If you want to hide rows which are greater than 3000, just change Rng.EntireRow.Hidden = Rng.Value < xNumber to Rng.EntireRow.Hidden = Rng.Value > xNumber, or if you want to hide rows whose data is equal to 3000, change to Rng.EntireRow.Hidden = Rng.Value = xNumber.

Yes, "Entire Row" is selected.

All rows remain selected without using Kutools. As soon as I use Kutools and select header row, all other rows but the header row de-select.

Are you sure check the Entire row option in the dialog? If you check cell option, the selected cells will be unselected when you right click at one row.

Hi - I'm using a newer Lenovo PC with Windows 10 Professional and Microsoft 365 Apps for business. Excel Version 2210 (Build 15726.20202 Click-to-Run).

I have tried the operation in the same version with you, there is no any problem. Could you try to manually select several rows (without using Kutools for Excel), then right click at one row header, see all rows are remained selecting?

I have done exactly what you've demonstrated. However, when I right-click on the row header, all other rows become de-selected and only that one row remains selected to be hidden or deleted. No matter what I do, the other rows do not stay selected when right-clicking on the header. I'm at a loss to know what to do now.

I am so sorry for that. Could you tell me what Excel version and system you use?

Hello,

That is exactly what I've been doing, however, it only hides the row on which I have clicked the row header. All other selected rows remain unhidden, and are deselected at the same time. I will try it again following your gif exactly. Thanks for your reply.

I'm using Kutools to select entire rows based on a value, and it does select all the rows with that value. However, when I right-click on the row header and click on "Hide" in the menu, only that row is hidden and the rest that were selected become de-selected. It appears I still have to hide each row one at a time. What am I doing wrong?

Hi, Rochelley, I think there may be some wrong when you right-click at the row header. After the rows which match your condition are selecetd after applying the feature, right click at one row header of them, note that other rows are kept selected, then choose hide from the context menu. Please see the gif:

Hi I need some help with my work sheet. I have to build a dynamic questionnaire and I need to have a code that allow me to hide/ Unhide automatically some rows base on a cell information. Example:

if c6 is "Externally" then hide all the rows from 7 to 107


if c7 is "yes" then show me row 8 but hide 9 to 107
if c7 is "No" then show me row 8 but hide 9 to 107
if c8 is "Critical" then show me row 9 but hide 10 to 107

if c8 is "Important" show me row 9 but hide 10 to 107
if c8 is "Ordinary" show me row 9 but hide 10 to 107
if c8 is "Other" then show me row 9 but hide 10 to 107

if c9 is "Critical" then show me row 10 but hide 11 to 107
if c9 is "Important" then show me row 10 but hide 11 to 107
if c9 is "Ordinary" then show me row 10 but hide 11 to 107
