Let's say the dropdown is in B1, and its values are Text1, Text2, ..., Text7.
Right-click the sheet tab.
Select 'View Code' from the context menu.
Copy the following code into the worksheet module:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    ' Has the cell with the dropdown changed?
    If Not Intersect(Range("B1"), Target) Is Nothing Then
        Application.ScreenUpdating = False
        Application.EnableEvents = False
        ' Unhide all rows in the relevant range
        Range("A4:A59").EntireRow.Hidden = False
        ' Inspect the value of the dropdown
        Select Case Range("B2").Value
            Case "Text1"
                Range("A4:A11").EntireRow.Hidden = True
            Case "Text2"
                Range("A12:A19").EntireRow.Hidden = True
            Case "Text3"
                Range("A20:A27").EntireRow.Hidden = True
            Case "Text4"
                Range("A28:A35").EntireRow.Hidden = True
            Case "Text5"
                Range("A36:A43").EntireRow.Hidden = True
            Case "Text6"
                Range("A44:A51").EntireRow.Hidden = True
            Case "Text7"
                Range("A52:A59").EntireRow.Hidden = True
        End Select
        Application.EnableEvents = True
        Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    End If
End SubChange the code as needed.
Switch back to Excel.
Save the workbook as a macro-enabled workbook (.xlsm)
Make sure that you allow macros when you open it.
