I have a sheet which has many columns in it, all columns are protected except column B. When I want to enter data always I have to insert a column in column B. When I clicked insert button, my B column move to C and B column become protected and C become unprotected. My query is always I want B column should be protected (even if i clicked on insert column button too).
View 1 RepliesI have a sheet that I have added protection to (Tools / Protection / Protect Sheet) with a password (PostItNote). Before I protect the sheet I have allowed users to edit ranges (Tools / Protection / Allow Users To Edit Ranges). I have made my selection of the cells that users are allowed to edit and protected the sheet. I now want to run a macro that will un-protect the sheet (in order to allow the macro to edit the protected cells) make some changes and then re-protect the sheet. The macro runs as it should do but when it stops I am unable to edit the cells that I allowed users to edit? For some reason the areas that I enabled users to edit have been changed allowing users to only edit far less cells that I originally set!
Here is my macro code that I am running:

Not exactly what year of Microsoft Excel we have at work buts its between 2007 to 2010.
Doing our weekly KPI on a friday is super stressful and if there is a way so multiple users can edit the excel spreadsheet at the same time?
Because with our excel spreadsheet only one person can edit the document at a time very frustrating at the end of a day on a friday.
Is it just Microsoft not allowing more than one editor at a time?
I have a spreadsheet that is very large and formated a certain way. I want to make sure that a user cant put the cursor in the lower left corner and copy cells by dragging, copy & paste, or do anything other than input data and be able to highleght text and reinput data in case they mistyped or misspelled the data.
ex: user clicks on cell E33 and types in '1234568' and then move to next cell. The user can click back on E33 and can correct by retyping. That is all the user is allowed.
The cells in question are also in ranges if this helps. EX: 'E33:AJ67'
I want my macro to protect my sheet again after it is done to allow editing objects and formatting rows. I am really stuck and have come up with the below, but it isn't working.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm not an Excel expert and I'm wondering whether to protect an Excel workbook in order to allow users to modify only specific cells in the sheets.
Also, each user should modify only his related sheet whitout permission to modify the ones created for the other users.
If MonthView control can be set to allow users to select multiple ranges and enter different dates into those ranges? I know I was able to do with with the previous Datepicker control and I thought it was as easy as setting the Show Modal property to true.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI need help creating a macro that will search through my excel spreadsheet and for every instance where column A isn't empty it should cut a range of columns from that row and paste them in a different range of columns in the row before it. It should then delete the row that it cut the columns from and keep searching until it has done this for the whole worksheet. I can modify which range of columns are needed, but it has been so long since I've worked with excel macros that I haven't been able to do it.

I want to run an event for specific user. In this case, only John Doe should be able to run this command. It works fine if i put john doe in there and i get the MSGBOX since my windows log in is not John doe. But when I put my windows login there (and only I can run it), i dont get any msgbox or the rest of the command does not run..

View 9 Replies View RelatedAlthough I'm able to write UDFs and distribute addins, one thing I've found is that if you use a UDF formula on a sheet on one machine, save it, then open it on another, Excel doesn't automatically look in the local .xla for the formula. In fact it tries to find it on the network (expecting to locate the originating user's machine, I suspect) and then throw a strop....
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook that is linked to 2 text files and updates just fine for me but when someone else opens it it does not calculate the new information just keeps the old. New text files are ran from our database to excel every night. When the workbook is opened the formulas should recalculate based on the updated info in the text files. Problem is when I open the file it performs perfectly and updates as it is supposed to but when my colleague opens the file it is not updating and does not show the new updates. I have checked to make sure the calculation is set to automatic. I have also confirmed that we are both working with 2003 version. I even had her open the text files and close and reopen the workbook and no go. I hat her do ctrl+alt+f9, even ctrl+alt+shift+f9. Had her click on the function, hit enter and nothing. Even tried find and replace = with = to wake up excel and nada.
View 9 Replies View RelatedWe use a spreadsheet for developing loans. I can open and print all of them just fine and so can almost all of the other employees. We have two people, though, that have the margins change when they open them. I can open it and have it be just fine, close it, they open the exact same file and see changed margins.
How to change that. I don't want them to have to do it on each spreadsheet. I am looking for a complete, one-time-only fix.
I am looking for a code to let users select an excel file like File Manager.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have created some macros and assigned shortcut keys. The workbook is shared by other users. I want to keep these macros from being accessible to other users. I know that they can go to ToolsMacros and display the names of macros and run them. How can I prevent them from accessing the ToolsMacros? Or can I assign password to individual macros?
If I put the macros in individual sheets as Private, they don't show up on the ToolsMacros list, but then I can't assign shortcut keys.
can we use excel workbook by many users at same time ?.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe have a place where all our documents are stored. We have a log where we all log in what we're working on. Our trouble is, if one person has it opened nobody else can add their items to it. Is there anyway to have multiple people be able to open and enter their work for the day, save and close it out?

I've created a model that uses an add-in to calculate otherwise cumbersome formulas, and 4 or so people need to access this model at any given time. It's saved (along with the add-in) in a public folder on our network drive. Everyone is able to access the model, and is able to load the add-in directly from that folder, but the cells that use the add-in point to where the add-in is stored locally on my drive (C:Documents and SettingsmeApplication DataMicrosoftAddIns) and thus they are not able to use the add-in functions without redirecting every reference to me with references to their add-ins (basically just by finding and replacing every 'me' with 'them' in those cells at this point). So I guess what I'm wondering is how do I make it so the add-in is 'universal' (instead of local) such that as long as each user has the add-in loaded they can fire up the model and use the needed functions.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI inherited an application that a co-worker deployed as an add-in to Excel and now need to change it.
I am able to find the code in the macro to change but I do not know how to update the add-in and deploy it to other users. And naturally there it does not have any included documentation.
I need to allow my users to insert rows, however I have Data valadation lists that would be affected by the insert.
Is there a way that I can lock the spreadsheet so that they have to highlight the cells and then insert the row but NOT allow them to highlight the entire row then insert?
I am creating a userform and would like to be able to automatically enter the name of the person using it. The way our network is set up is Username = 1st 5 letters of surname + 1st 2 letters of forename. Due to this i cannot use
Function UserNameWindows() As String
UserName = Environ("USERNAME")
End Function
as this returns the login name as opposed to the full name. I also cannot use
Function UserNameOffice() As String
UserNameOffice = Application.UserName
End Function
due to the fact that the office settings are defaulted to "Any Authorised User" unless manually updated by the user.
The users full name is displayed at the top of the start menu, but I have so far not been able to find a way to pull that into my form.

I was wondering if someone know how to creat multi users in a password protection that I got from RoyUK Password/User Name Attempt Count. this works great but i'm haveing proble with the multi users oh and I was wondering if it was possible to have the user have limited visiblity to certian parts of the workbook.
Is there a structure inside of Excel which keeps track of all the actions taken by a user (something that would presumably be used to allow for an undo sequence)? If so, is there a way to get access to it?
