Very Good
Hi,
thanks for tutorial.
The userform that we created to hide the columns in the workbook and unhide the hidden columns contains also a button to minimize userform. With to the drop-down list in the userform can be navigated between worksheets, the selected worksheet from the combobox is active and the column management(hide-unhide) of this worksheet is provided.
I did not know that something like this exists in Excel. Can I create it somehow automatically?
There is Auto Outline button for that.
Thank you!
