This is my code on getting and inserting the data from another sheet can anyone have idea on how can i hide the column with duplicate entry because i just search and it is only removing duplicates not hiding the column

What I have tried:

Dim melt As Long
''Row where the data will insert
melt = 5

For x = 1 To lastRow

''Search if
If (Sheets("SchedData").Cells(x, 9) = "melt") And Sheets("SchedData").Cells(x, 1) = Sheet23.Range("Q2") Then

''Get and insert data
Sheet23.Cells(melt, 2) = Sheets("SchedData").Cells(x, 6)
Sheet23.Cells(melt, 3) = Sheets("SchedData").Cells(x, 5)
melt = melt + 1
count = count + 1

End If

Next x

''Hide all the cell within the range that is empty
For Each c In Range("B5:B20")
        If c.Value = "" Then
            c.EntireRow.Hidden = True
        Else
            c.EntireRow.Hidden = False
        End If
    Next

Solution 1

At the moment you seem to set the row as hidden, not the column so if you want to hide a column, you can use EntireColumn.Hidden.

Side-note: setting the column hidden or visible is using quite a lot of resources so instead of changing the visibility back and forth, you may want to loop through the range and decide whether to hide it or not and after the loop make the change.
