Need help to hide/show excel rows based on value in a cell, but allow for moving rows around later
In Row 4 I ask a question and D4 will contain the answer of either Yes or No.
If the answer is Yes in D4, I want hidden rows 5 and 5 to appear with follow-up questions. This is working for me:
If Range("D4").Value = "No" Then
Rows("5:6").EntireRow.Hidden = True
ElseIf Range("D4").Value = "Yes" Then
Rows("5:6").EntireRow.Hidden = False
In Column A I identify the initial questions (like in row 4) as "Tiered Questions" and the subsequent questions (like rows 5 and 6) are labeled "Follow-up Q".
Is there a way to do this without manually updating every row? Also, I need to allow for adding/removing rows above which would impact which rows will hide/unhide. Thanks.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "manually updating every row" but if you put your code into a Worksheet_Change sub into your worksheet object (not a module) then it will run automatically every time cell D4 is updated in that worksheet
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "$D$4" Then
If Target.Value = "No" Then
Rows("5:6").EntireRow.Hidden = True
ElseIf Target.Value = "Yes" Then
Rows("5:6").EntireRow.Hidden = False
End If
End If
End Sub

Thanks CallumDA33. Sorry I didn't articulate better, but my issue is that I want D4 to trigger hide/unhide for Rows 5 and 6 as just one example. I also want D7 (my "Tiered Question") to trigger hide/unhide for rows 8 and 9 ("Follow-up Q"s), and D14 (Tiered) to trigger rows 15, 16, 17, (Follow up) and on and on through my 350 row sheet. Thanks so much for your help!

I received help from a friend and wanted to share the solution--below.
On Any update to the workbook that happens in column 4 (which is the Client Answer), if they answer No to a "Tiered Question"...the subsequent rows with a "Follow-Up Q" will be hidden.
You would have to update this macro if you moved the Business Criteria ("A") or Client Answer columns.
This should work:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim i As Integer
If Target.Column = 4 Then
If Range("A" & Target.Row).Text = "Tiered Question" Then
i = 1
Do While Range("A" & Target.Row + i).Text = "Follow-Up Q"
Range("A" & Target.Row + i).EntireRow.Hidden = (Target.Value = "No")
i = i + 1
Loop
End If
End If
End Sub
