The following code may help you to hide all rows if blank cells in a specific column at once, and if you delete the cell content in that column, the rows will be hide automatically, too. Please do as follows:

1. Right click at the sheet tab that you want to auto hide the rows if there are blank cells in a column , and then choose View Code from the context menu, in the popped out Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window, please copy and paste the following code into the blank Module:

VBA code: Auto hide rows if blank cells in a column:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
'Updateby Extendoffice
    Dim xRg As Range
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
        For Each xRg In Range("A1:A20")
            If xRg.Value = "" Then
                xRg.EntireRow.Hidden = True
        
            Else
                xRg.EntireRow.Hidden = False
            End If
        Next xRg
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

doc auto hide rows 1

Note: In the above code, A1:A20 is the data list which contains the blank cells you want to auto hide.

2. Then go back to the worksheet, and now, when you double click any cell and press Enter key, the rows which contain blank cells in column A have been hide at once, and if you clear any cell content in the specified cells of column A, the rows will be hide automatically.

Hi, i'm having issues with the "automation" of the macro. I'm searching for a way for the code to work as an automated process without the needs of "manually" running the macro. i've been using my own variant of your code due to me finding issues to use your code. This is my variant:

Sub HideRows()
Dim xRg As Range
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each xRg In Range("A3:A800")
If (xRg.Value = "") Then
xRg.EntireRow.Hidden = True
Else
xRg.EntireRow.Hidden = False
End If
Next xRg
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

I'm trying to create a spreadsheet which requires everchanging values, therefore would require a genuine "automated" procress. I'm relatively new to VBA and if your code actually already meets my requirements would you mind helping/teach me to apply it in VBA? Thanks.

Hello, Nurjanah
To solve your problem, first, you should hide the blank rows, and then print the data, after printing the data, you need unhide the blank rows again. Please do as this:
1. Apply this formula: =COUNTA(A2:E2) beside your data, see screenshot:
https://www.extendoffice.com/images/stories/comments/comment-skyyang/doc-hide-blanks-1.png
2. Then, filter the new helper Blank column, hide all 0 value rows, see screenshot:
https://www.extendoffice.com/images/stories/comments/comment-skyyang/doc-hide-blanks-2.png
3. And then, you should hide the new Blank column, and print the data, after printing the worksheet, please cancel the filter to unhide the blank rows as you need.
Please try, hope it can help you!

When executing the code in office 2013/2019/2021 it works but takes too much time to complete (only 95 rows to hide).
How can you speed this?
Thanks!

Hello, Cathy,
To hide the rows automatically based on blank cells or 0 values, please use the below vba code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
'Updateby Extendoffice
    Dim xRg As Range
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
        For Each xRg In Range("E1:E1500")
            If (xRg.Value = "") Or (xRg.Value = "0") Then
                xRg.EntireRow.Hidden = True
            Else
                xRg.EntireRow.Hidden = False
            End If
        Next xRg
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub


Please try, hope it can help you!

This is working great for me, It hides the rows and opens them when my values change based on formulas.  The question I have is my sheet is 104 rows long.  It churns for a bit each time I click a cell.  Any way to speed up the transition when it is activated?  Or is it my computer?Thanks!

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each rango In Columns
If rango = "" Then
rango.EntireColumn.Hidden = True
Else
rango.EntireColumn.Hidden = False
End If
Next rango

Hi, mình có dùng 2 code trong 1 file excel (1 code là của bạn) với mục đích in ra những bản riêng biệt và không bị thừa dòng trống. Khi mình ấn in từng bản thì ok nhưng nếu in 1 loạt thì code Hide không có tác dụng, bạn xem giúp mình với nhé, mình cảm ơn!

Sub PRINT_PRINT()
Dim rng As Range, x As Range
Set rng = Range("a16:a23")
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each x In rng
If Len(x.Text) = 0 Then
x.EntireRow.Hidden = True
Else
x.EntireRow.Hidden = False
End If
Next x
Application.ScreenUpdating = True


Dim p1, p2, i&
p1 = Sheet1.Range("O1").Value
p2 = Sheet1.Range("O2").Value
If IsNumeric(p1) = False Or IsNumeric(p2) = False Then
tb = MsgBox("So code phai la so.", , "Thông báo")
Exit Sub
End If
If p1 > p2 Then
tb = MsgBox("So code sau phai >= so code truoc.", , "Thông báo")
Exit Sub
End If
If p1 < 1 Or p2 < 1 Then
tb = MsgBox("So code phai >= 1.", , "Thông báo")
Exit Sub
End If
If p1 <= p2 Then
For i = p1 To p2
Sheet1.Range("M2").Value = i
Sheet1.PrintOut
Next
End If
End Sub
