How to Hide Multiple Sheets using VBA in Microsoft Excel 2010

In this article, you will learn how to hide multiple sheets using VBA code.

Let us understand with an example:

Q) I have around 100 sheets in my Excel workbook. Only sheet1 should be visible to user and rest should be invisible. I don't want user to unhide sheets by right clicking and unhide them.

Click on Developer tab

From Code group, select Visual Basic

Click on Insert, and then Module

This will create new module.

Enter the following code in the Module

Sub HideSheets()

  Dim sh As Worksheet

  For Eachsh In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets

    If sh.Name<> "Sheet1" Then

sh.Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden

    End If

  Next

End Sub

The above code will check name of each worksheet & if the name is found other than “Sheet1” then it will run & hide the sheet.

After executing the macro; we will get Sheet1 as visible to us & rest will be hidden.

To be able to view sheet1 & sheet2 only out of 100 sheets, you need the following code

Sub HideSheets2()

  Dim sh As Worksheet

  For Eachsh In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets

    If sh.Name<> "Sheet1" Then

sh.Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden

    End If

    Else

    If sh.Name<> "Sheet2" Then

sh.Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden

    End If

  Next

End Sub

 

HideSheet2 macro will not hide “Sheet1” & “Sheet2” & ensure all other sheets will get hidden.

In this way, we can hide the sheets which we do not want user to view.
