View 14 RepliesI have a time tracking sheet. In Column C and Column D there is a start time and end time respectively where my team people will enter the current time accordingly.
I would like to lock the cell once they enter the time but the entire sheet should not lock. Only the Column C and D should lock upon people enter the time. Basically, once user enter the time, they should not be able to change it.
Is there a way I can set up the worksheet so that in one cell I can type out for example product codes/numbers and by doing the description for the product will come up in another cell. Rather then copy and pasting very the many different product descriptions?

View 9 Replies View Relatedis it possible to create in Excel something similar to the text box you have when you enter the product key on the text boxes?
like for example, when you need to type 1997 as your id.
when you typed "1" in A1, cursor will automatically move to B1.
when you typed "9" in B1, cursor will automatically move to C1...
and so on..
thus, user that fill in the form does not need to press enter, or right arrow key when inputting their id.
I'm typing the formula straight into the cell and funny thing happens: the cell displays the formula, but not the result...
SO now I can see =A2+B2 and no values.
when I type a 6 digit date into Excel cells formatted to dd/mm/yyyy very strange dates are being displayed. Tried opening a new book - just the same result. All is ok typing with the / in between but I don't usually have to do that. Regional settings have been checked and formatting etc.

For example, I have a spreadsheet with numbers corresponding to stock codes. Would it be posible to just click on the stock number to return the information on the stock (levels, sizes etc...) instead of typing the stock code in for a vlookup calculation.
I have written code in which cell color changes according to cell value. To change cell value I have used drop down list (Data/Validation/List). Main question/problem is code works well when cell value is changed by typing from keyboard only.
Code doesn't work when cell value is changed using drop down list.

When I type numbers in the cells from D4 to D14, E4 to E14 and so on, the particular cell should turn into "Green". All the the cells will remain "yellow" and blank until numbers are entered based on the daily cleaning of machines. When particular machine no is entered in to a cell cell, that cell should turn green(this shows that "service is done for that machine")
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've built (but not completed) a spreadsheet used to organize multiple Bill of Material lists. This list is a row-by row list of products with information relating to a specific part number including: Mfg, Part#, Qty Used, Cost Ea, Vendor, among many more.
Here's what I'm trying to accomplish first. As this list grows, my intension is the be able to recall a row of data (or control what columns of the row are recalled) from this list and be able to easily add them to the list. I would like to be able to do this by typing in data in one cell in the row (like the Part#), and then have a macro or VB code that will automatically fill in a defined number of columns with the descriptive data like: Mfg, Cost Ea, Vendor, etc.
Currently, the data for the rows (if it already exists) would reside higher up in the list on the same worksheet but could also potentially be on another tab in the workbook.
I am creating a spreadsheet that when I type the product series in cell A1, it will automatically know to enter the corresponding catalog # into cell B1. I will be doing this for hundreds of product series.
For Example:
If I type AEP into cell A1, the worksheet will automatically enter #123 into cell B1,
If I type DEB into cell A2, the worksheet will automatically enter #458 into cell B2,
and so on...
I understand that I will have to create a master list with what series goes with each catalog #, but I am not to sure where to go from there?
Well following on from my question earlier, I am still playing with my timesheet/rota I'm developing.
I have a start time and an end time, which is formatted as hh:mm then an hours cell which adds them up for you.
BUT if someone is on a rest day or a holiday day or a sick day etc, I would like them to be able to type that in without the cell that adds the hours up going doo laly!!!!! (######)
So, is there anyway they can type say 'R' and then getting the hours total cell to ignore it because it isn't a time?

How can I lock A so when I copy over to the right the formula doesn't change that reference to B4?
Is there a way to have the True value (Exported Data'!C2) reference one cell over instead of selecting the cell to reference from?
Need code that would make cell J2 be populated with U no matter what was placed in cell J2 either manually or externally.

The idea being once Y or N is typed that cell can no longer be changed
Currently have a column of cells that after the data has been entered we would like the cell to lock to prevent changes. The sheet is currently protected with the cells in question unlocked (D173:D250). We would like to be able to change the data if we unprotect the sheet. We would also like to be able to add/delete cells (list) in the code as needed.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to write a vba code that does the following....
There is a question in column A to which the user chooses yes or no from column B. Based on the response in column B, I'd like the same row column D to be formatted so that if the anser is yes, the cell is white, and unlocked. If the response is no, the cell is cleared, locked and the greyed out. (e.g. if B4 is "Yes", the format in D4 will change) So far I've come up with the following which formats the colour:
Dim response As Range
For Each response In Range("$C$10:$C$73")
If response.Value = "Yes" Then
response.Select
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).Range("A1").Select
With Selection.Interior

How to add in a .clearcontents function, so that the contents are cleared if the response is not "yes", and also what I would need to add to unlock the cell in column D?
Is it possible to lock in the formatting that would require 12 digits even if someone was copying and pasting to the cell?
We are looking to make our users add information into cells in the format 0-00000-00000-0. They are often copy and pasting, thus overwritting the custom format we have in those cells.
I've looked at validation, but custom only works for a formula.
I have a multisheet excel workbook that I am programming. I was wondering if there is a way to lock a cell on one sheet after the initial value was put in, allowing me to change it later. This may not be so clear so here is the problem....
I have Workbook1. The input from cell A3 on Sheet1 is 5. I have made a second sheet called Order Form. In cell B5 of Order form I have made it ='Sheet1'!A3. I am looking for a way to be able to change cell A3 on Sheet1, but keep the 5 on Order Form.
I have an sheet(see attached) with some dummy data, now i want to lock (with password) only those cells depending on the dropdown (highlighted in sheet).For eg,if we select A from dropdown of col c and then locked from dropdown of col D , it should lock the complete row(s) of value A in col H and rows with value B shall remain editable.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a range of cells I want to become locked (thus, uneditable), based upon the value of another cell.
For example, if cell A1 is "True," (based on a drop-down, not a formula) I want cells B1:B10 to become locked. I want the user to be able to edit these cells only when A1 is false. Also, the sheet is already passsword protected.
Is there a way I can lock a set of cell to only allow 30 characters or less and if so if they copy and paste they can go over 30 characters in a cell. I can not allow they to go over 30 characters.

I need to have a current row password protected when the value in ActiveCell.Offset(0, 0).Value = "Close"
but just to lock that current row. What I have is a close button on a userform that changes the ActiveCell.Offset(0, 0).Value = "Close", i just need to add another line of code to lock the row.
VB: ActiveCell.Offset(0, 0).Value = "Close" (And lock current row With password 123)
i am having problem with doing team, i would like to lock cell contain formulas but allow users insert row.
