Title: Re: Excel: hide multiple columns with Applescript
A little more insight, now that I can see a difference...

I have the pivot table sorted, which seems to take a long time to perform when I watch the status (in the bottom left of the spreadsheet window) with screen updating enabled. I'm going to try removing the sort, then reinstalling it after all of the pivot items have been made non-visible, and see if that makes a difference.

Out of curiosity, I wasn't just missing the technique to address all of the pivot items simultaneously... it's just not possible, is it? i.e. It would be up to the Microsoft developers to have built in access code that they didn't, correct?

Or, am I missing an obvious Applescript reference idiom here?

Wow, disabling screen updating DID speed things up considerably:

Good. Because of the repeat block, and the fact that what it's acting on is the 'visible' property of many individual (repeated) items, each of which can take time to register on-screen before the script goes on to the next repeat iteration, it can make a big difference to just cut the on-screen manifestations out until it's all done.

Thanks for reporting back.
