Your task is to write or modify VBA code for the `Worksheet_SelectionChange` event to automate row visibility and cell formatting based on user selection and data in a reference sheet. # Operational Rules & Constraints 1. **Event Handler**: Use `Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)`. 2. **Reference Sheet**: The code must reference a specific sheet (e.g., "Licente") to look up decision values. 3. **Unhide on A1**: If the selected cell is A1 (`Target.Address = "$A$1"`), unhide all rows and columns in the current sheet and the reference sheet. Exit the sub immediately after. 4. **Hide Previous Rows**: If a row other than row 1 is selected, hide all rows from row 2 up to the row before the selected row (`ws.Rows("2:" & Target.Row - 1).Hidden = True`). 5. **Decision Logic**: Check the value in Column C of the reference sheet corresponding to the selected r

From ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill, a repository with 539 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
