VBA Code: count & hide

[style3body]

Dear All

I hope you are having a great day 

first, I would like to thank you all for your effort 

here is the system info : 

• Device and OS platform, Windows 10 
• Excel product name and version number 2013
• Excel file you’re working with: Copy file 

--------------------------------

I have this Button in a sheet containing the following code : 

Figure 1

Sub ColorCompanyDuplicates()
'Updateby Extendoffice
    Dim xRg As Range
    Dim xTxt As String
    Dim xCell As Range
    Dim xChar As String
    Dim xCellPre As Range
    Dim xCIndex As Long
    Dim xCol As Collection
    Dim I As Long
    On Error Resume Next
    If ActiveWindow.RangeSelection.Count > 1 Then
      xTxt = ActiveWindow.RangeSelection.AddressLocal
    Else
      xTxt = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.AddressLocal
    End If
    Set xRg = Application.InputBox("please select the data range:", "Kutools for Excel", xTxt, , , , , 8)
    If xRg Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
    xCIndex = 2
    Set xCol = New Collection
    For Each xCell In xRg
      On Error Resume Next
      xCol.Add xCell, xCell.Text
      If Err.Number = 457 Then
        xCIndex = xCIndex + 1
        Set xCellPre = xCol(xCell.Text)
        If xCellPre.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone Then xCellPre.Interior.ColorIndex = xCIndex
        xCell.Interior.ColorIndex = xCellPre.Interior.ColorIndex
      ElseIf Err.Number = 9 Then
        MsgBox "Too many duplicate companies!", vbCritical, "Kutools for Excel"
        Exit Sub
      End If
      On Error GoTo 0
    Next
End Sub

basically, it highlights the duplicate values in the table, what I want is to add 2 other stuff to do in the button: 

1. count how many duplicates are in column J and show the number in the yellow rectangle 
2. Second, hide the yellow highlighted columns ( K, L, and from O to W)

Note: copy of the file attached :)  

Thank you in advance

thank you man for your response, but there is a small issue that needs to be fixed

• the duplicate counting is counting all the duplicates in the table, I need only to count duplicates in column J
• if you could let the code not highlight the duplicates for columns ( A to H ) will be perfect ( as a fever)   :) 

Note: I attached the same file in your response

 really appreciate your help, sir...

Which range do you select when you click the button?

[#5]

@Hans Vogelaar 

the Range from columns ( i to n ), but still some points got highlighted ( A, E, F ) as the figure below : 

if you could fix this, and the duplicate counting.. will be much appreciated

otherwise, it works really fine 

Note: I attached the same file in your response

Thank you so much, sir

When I select I6:N27 and click the button, only cells in that range are colored. Perhaps the cells in columns A, E and F had already been colored before.

I have corrected the coloring and the count (I hope). See the attached version.

@Hans Vogelaar 

it's worked really well, just tiny issue is that the header of the columns disappears, if you could fix this, will be much appreciated.

thank you so much

@style3body

Make sure that you select the range you want to format: I6:N27, not I5:N27 or an even larger range.

If you include I5:N5, the code will remove the background color of those cells, leaving the white text invisible.

@Hans Vogelaar 

Thank you so much, sir, really appreciate your hard work and effort in this matter 

if you just do one last thing in this regard, will be much appreciated:

in the sheet report, I have button 1 that colors the duplicate after selecting the range

(( as you know :) )) .. could be possible if this step be automated ..... like once I click the button it selects the range directly without the pop-up message coming up.

the range will be fixed (non-changble), I want the range to be the whole columns ( i,j,m,n) 

thank you again, you are the hero for me :)
