MS Office Forum / Excel / Programming / October 2008How do you Find with data in hidden columns
In Excel 2003, I use VBA code to find the column with a specific title. The Find works well as long as the column is not hidden. Unfortunately it has to be hidden and I don't want to hard-code the column address. Suggestions welcomed! Thanks - Pat Turn screenupdating off. Unhide the columns do the find hide the columns turn screenupdating on > In Excel 2003, I use VBA code to find the column with a specific title. > The Find works well as long as the column is not hidden.
