How to hide columns in Google Sheet with checkboxes

问题

Could someone help me figure out how to be able to hide/unhide columns by using a checkbox in Google Sheets.

For example, the checkbox is located in N4 and I want to hide/unhide column from O to R:

Thank you!

Answer:

You need to use an onEdit() trigger.

Code Sample:

function onEdit(e) {
  if (e.range.getA1Notation() != "N4") return;

  if (e.value == "TRUE") {
    SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet().hideColumns(15, 4);
  }
  else if (e.value == "FALSE") {
    SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet().showColumns(15, 4);
  }
}

Function run-down:

• Checks to see if the edited cell was N4
  • If it isn't N4, do nothing.
• If it is N4, then:
  • If the value is true (checkbox is checked), then hide columns O to R.
  • If the value is false (checkbox is unchecked), then show columns O to R.

If you wish it to be the other way around then swap the "TRUE" and "FALSE" values in the conditional.

I hope this is helpful to you!
