                If col.isRequired Then
                    ws.Cells(1, ColumnIndex).Style.Font.Color.SetColor(Color.Red)
                End If
                ws.Column(ColumnIndex).Width = 35
                ColumnIndex += 1

Try:

VB
ws.Column(ColumnIndex).EntireColumn.Hidden = Not col.isActive


If this does not work directly you might have to create a selection first and apply the .EntireColumn.Hidden to the selection, one of the odd behaviours of VBA.

Easiest way to find code for tasks in Excel is to record a macro executing the task then look at the code generated and apply it in your code.
