Possible to use dropdown results to open specific fields?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I am wondering if it is possible to have results selected from a dropdown affect corresponding fields using formulas; e.g. If "Document Type A" is selected from said dropdown, all fields relating to any other document type are automatically hidden, or on the flip side, have all fields hidden until a specific Document is selected from the dropdown.
Example: 
If Document A is Selected, the following fields will become open for input of data:
Unfortunately I have 0 experience with macros or SQL, so I'm restricted to using formulas... (I know, I'm a noob) So, if this is something that is not able to be accomplished with formulas, then I'll have to think of something else!

Option 1) Use a macro that is triggered by the user changing the pick list. Option 2) The (row) header cells are visible but appear blank along with the data by using conditional formatting based on the pick list and setting the text/fill to the same color.

Some questions: 1) What happens when document b or c are selected? 2) are there always the same amount of fields for all the documents? 3) are there any information below line 74? (I see some hidden rows)
