How to hide or unhide a specific worksheet based on cell value in another sheet?

Author: Xiaoyang Last Modified: 2022-07-20

Are there any methods for us to hide or unhide a specific worksheet tab based on a cell content in another sheet? For example, when I enter the text “Yes” in the cell G1 of Sheet2, I want the Sheet1 to be hidden, and when I enter “No”, the Sheet1 to be displayed at once. How could I solve this problem in Excel?

To hide or unhide a specific worksheet tab based on a cell value in another worksheet, the following VBA code may do you a favor, please do as follows:

1. Go the worksheet which contains the cell value you want to hide another sheet based on.

2. Right click the sheet tab, and select View Code, in the popped out Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window, please copy and paste the following code into the blank Module window, see screenshot:

VBA code: Hide or hide a worksheet tab based on cell value:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If [G1] = "Yes" Then
Sheets("Sheet1").Visible = True
Else
Sheets("Sheet1").Visible = False
End If
End Sub

doc hide tab based on cell value 1

Note: In the above code, G1 and Yes are the cell and cell content that you want to base on, and Sheet1 is the specific sheet that you want to hide or unhide. You can change them to your need.

3. Then save and close this code, when you enter “No” or other text in cell G1, Sheet1 is hidden, but if you enter “Yes” in the cell, Sheet1 is displayed at once, see screenshots:

I am trying to use this but it is coming up with "compile error - can't find project or library" and highlighting the cell where the Yes/No dropdown is situated. I think it may be due to this being a merged cell, is there any way around this?

I'm having an issue where I want the tab to show for a range of values, rather than just a YES or NO. When I try to repeat the IF statement in the sub, it gives me an error and when I try to list multiple values in the if statement, I get an error. Any ideas?

It almost seems like I need to use an IF/OR statement but not sure how that would work.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If [K6] = "VS 1", "VS 2", "VS 3", VS 4" Then
Sheets("Page6").Visible = True
Else
Sheets("Page6").Visible = False
End If
End Sub

Hello, Andy,
To solve your problem, please apply the below code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If [B2] = "Yes" Then
Sheets("Sheet1").Visible = True
Else
Sheets("Sheet1").Visible = False
End If
If [B3] = "Yes" Then
Sheets("Sheet2").Visible = True
Else
Sheets("Sheet2").Visible = False
End If
If [B4] = "Yes" Then
Sheets("Sheet3").Visible = True
Else
Sheets("Sheet3").Visible = False
End If
If [B5] = "Yes" Then
Sheets("Sheet4").Visible = True
Else
Sheets("Sheet4").Visible = False
End If
If [B6] = "Yes" Then
Sheets("Sheet5").Visible = True
Else
Sheets("Sheet5").Visible = False
End If
End Sub

Note: In the above code, you just need to copy the below scripts several times and change the cell reference and sheet name to your own.
If [B2] = "Yes" Then
Sheets("Sheet1").Visible = True
Else
Sheets("Sheet1").Visible = False
End If


Please have a try, hope it can help you!

This code works great, However I have 42 variables for 70 sheets so this code gets very long and stops working. Is there a way to make this code in sections as to not exceed the code size that VBA can handle? Or do I have to divide these into two separate excels?

Hello friend,

You can open a new Google sheet, add a new sheet so that there is a "Sheet1" and a "Sheet2" then go to Tools > Script Editor. In the editor, paste the following.

function myFunction() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet1 = ss.getSheetByName("Sheet1");
var sheet2 = ss.getSheetByName("Sheet2");

var cell1 = sheet1.getRange('B2');

if (cell1.getValue() == 2) {
sheet2.hideSheet();
}

if (cell1.getValue() == 3) {
sheet2.showSheet();
}
}

Please have a try.

Sincerely,
Mandy
