SYMPTOMS
In the versions of Microsoft Excel listed above, when you use the EntireRow property in a Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications macro to hide nonadjacent rows, all rows that are between the first cell and the last cell addresses that you specify in the macro are hidden. For example, the following line of code: Range("A1,A3,A5").EntireRow.Hidden = True hides rows 1 through 5 instead of hiding rows 1, 3, and 5.



WORKAROUND
Microsoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied. This includes, but is not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements. To work around this problem, use one of the following methods.

Method 1
Set all of the row heights 0 (zero) instead of hiding them. For example, use code similar to the following: Range("A1,A3,A5").RowHeight = 0

Method 2
Use the Hidden property and loop though each row to hide it. For example, use code similar to the following: Range("A1,A3,A5").Select Range("A1").Activate For Each Area In Selection.Areas Area.EntireRow.Hidden = True Next



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Excel 97 for Windows and Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition.
