This is the sample dataset.
Method 1 – Apply Excel VBA to Automatically Hide Rows with Zero Values
1.1 With InputBox
STEPS:
- Go to the Developer tab and select Visual Basic to open the Visual Basic window or press Alt + F11.
- Select Insert and choose Module.
- In the Module window, enter the code below:
Option Explicit
Sub Hide_Rows_Zero_InputBox()
Dim cRange As Range
Dim qq As Range
Set cRange = Application.InputBox("Specify the Cell Range", _
"ExcelDemy", Type:=8)
For Each qq In cRange
If qq.Value = "0" Then
qq.EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If
Next
End Sub
This code hides the entire row if it finds any cell with zero value. Two variables were declared: cRange and qq. The For Next Loop checks whether the cell value equals 0. If it is equal to 0, the entire row is hidden.
- Press Ctrl + S to save the code.
- Press F5 to run the code or go to the Developer tab and select Macros. It will open the Macro window.
- In the Macro window, select the code and Run it.
- Select the range in which you want to apply the VBA code.
- Click OK.
- This is the output.

1.2 Without InputBox
STEPS:
- Follow the steps in 1.1 to open the Visual Basic window.
- Select Insert >> Module.

Sub Hide_Rows_with_Zeros()
Dim qq As Range
For Each qq In Range("B6:D14")
If Not IsEmpty(qq) Then
If qq.Value = 0 Then
qq.EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If
End If
Next
End Sub
In this code, you need to change the range. Here, B6:D14.

1.3 Only When All Values Are Zero
STEPS:
- Follow the steps in 1.1 to open the Visual Basic window.
- Select Insert >> Module.
- Enter the code below in the Module window:
Option Explicit
Sub Hide_Rows_Zero_Two_Loops()
Dim row As Long
Dim col As Long
Dim qq As Boolean
For row = 6 To 14
qq = True
For col = 2 To 4
If Cells(row, col).Value > 0 Then
qq = False
Exit For
End If
Next col
Rows(row).Hidden = qq
Next row
End Sub
Two For Next Loop were used. The first loop goes row-wise and the second one goes column-wise. They check the cells greater than 0. If all values of a row are 0 then, it hides the entire row.
- Press Ctrl + S to save the code.
- Press the F5 to run the code.
- In the Macros window, select the macro and click on Run.
- The code will automatically hide rows that contain zero values only in all cells.

Method 2 – Automatically Hide Rows with Zero Values Using an Excel Formula
The Filter feature and the combination of the IF function and the COUNTIF functions. will be used. In this method, you can only hide rows if a specific range of cells contains 0. You need to reapply the filter if changes are made. In the dataset below, Rows 7, 10, and 14 contain zero values.
STEPS:
- Add a helper column to insert the formula. Here, Filter.
- Select E6 and enter the formula below:
=IF(COUNTIF(C6:D6,0)=2,"Hide","Show")- Press Enter to see the result.
The formula checks if the number of non-zero cells in C6:D6 is 2, using the COUNTIF and theIF functions. If the number of the non-zero cells is greater than 0, the formula will display SHOW in E5. If the number of zero cells is equal to 2, it will display Hide in E5. he IF function.
- Drag down the Fill Handle to copy the formula.
- Go to the Home tab.
- Click Sort & Filter and select Filter.
- Click the drop-down arrow in the Filter header.
- Uncheck Hide and click OK.
- This is the output.
- Hide the helper column.
