View Full Version : Custom Views/Hidden Row VBA Solution?

I am having a huge problem managing large documents that rely on a number of different custom views to display only certain columns. My problem is that every time I change views to see different columns of information, all the rows displayed also change to the settings specified in the new custom view. I then have completely different rows displayed. When you add a new custom view, it does have two check boxes. One for printer settings, the other for rows/columns/filters.
Is there any way to have it only apply to columns and filters without applying to rows?
If not, is there any VBA solution that would eliminate this headache?
:help
Thanks!!

Hi ebcnt
Welcome to VBAX.
Can you sanitise and post your workbook so we can see the problem. You can post it using Manage Attachments in the Go Advanced section.

OK, I think I've got it now.
If you can picture the spreadsheet with many rows of data, with some filters applied in a particular custom view (like the one titled "ypsi ordering" for example). When you select "indy ordering", your suddenly looking at a totally different set of rows (those specified when the Indy custom view was originally set up). All the filters then need to be reset. Very cumbersome for the users.
Thanks
