Avoid 'function Is Not Available On A Protected Worksheet' Message
Aug 27, 2009
I am using the before double click event on a protected sheet. When the event fires the first thing the procedure does is unprotect the sheet, does stuff and then it applies protection again at the very end.
Regardless I still get the 'Function is not available on a protected worksheet' message. How can I stop the message? Any ideas? If no standard approach is available does anyone know how I can hook this using API?

I've written some VBA which creates worksheets to temporarily store data in. At the end of the code I delete the worksheets. However, for some reason I am getting a message box which asks for confirmation. How can I avoid the user of my report having to click OK for each of the worksheets which need to be deleted?

I'm looking to use the Find function in order to search through a protected worksheet. Currently I can use it to search, however, I am unable to click on the results to bring me to each instant.

Application.AskToUpdateLinks = False
Sheets("Feb").Activate

1. I can't remember it, but I know there is a command so that the view hold and that the selected tabs and cells does not show and the same view remains until the "unhold" is called in the macro. THEN the view is updated. What is this command again? Could not find it...
2. The macro needs to delete tabs at the click of a button (easy part) but for each deletion, a message appear:
Data may exist in the sheet selected for deletion. To permanently delete this data, press Delete. Is there a way to prevent the message from popping out when the macro is executed?

I have been reading and studying up on everything I can get my hands on with excel, and today I read the golden rules sticky. One of them confused me, so I need to understand, so I can follow it. "Don't Nest 2 Lookups To Avoid #N/A! Allow it to Occur and Reference Like: =IF(ISNA(A1),0,A1) and Hide the Lookup Column." I need cells to be empty instead of returning #N/A! So I nested using the ISNA. I do not understand the formula example above and hiding the lookup column. Here is the formula I have in one of the cells: How do I change it, so it returns an empty value instead of #n/a without nesting the lookup =IF(ISNA(IF($I$8="Student",((VLOOKUP($J$8,'Exit Card Data.xls'!Card1_1,2,FALSE)))/D33,IF($I$8="Class",(HLOOKUP($J$8,'Exit Card Data.xls'!Card1_1,28,FALSE))))),"",(IF($I$8="Student",((VLOOKUP($J$8,'Exit Card Data.xls'!Card1_1,2,FALSE)))/D33,IF($I$8="Class",(HLOOKUP($J$8,'Exit Card Data.xls'!Card1_1,28,FALSE))))))
Also I really need the cell to be empty if nothing has been entered in I8 or J8, but right now it returns FALSE. For what I am doing, it is important that the cell is empty if no data can be found.

I have a spreadsheet set up to automate calculations and control data input for in process quality control checks. The spreadsheet is basically a series of input boxes requesting information from the user. To control the input of part numbers I have some code for a userform which populates listbox within the userform from another closed spreadsheet (opens & closes without updating screen) & enters the selected data from the listbox into a selected cell in the spreadsheet
all the input boxes and calculations are working well, the userform works well, BUT when I include the userform within the code I get the following problem, an error saying that I am trying to change data in a protected cell where data has been entered and then protected by the VB code, even though the code is not trying to change the cell.
I have tried just loading and unloading the userform and everything works well, it only fails when I actually use the userform, and then close it. from this I am fairly sure the problem lies within the form so I have been through the form code line by line and deleted anything that is not vital and the problem persists. Here is the form
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim Msg, Style, Title, Help, Ctxt, Response, MyString
Dim Part As String
Part = ActiveSheet.Range("B1")
Msg = "Are you sure you want Part No" & vbNewLine & Part ' Define message.
Style = vbYesNo + vbDefaultButton2 ' Define buttons.
Title = "SELECT PART No." ' Define title.
Response = MsgBox(Msg, Style, Title)
If Response = vbYes Then ' User chose Yes.
Set_Data_1 ' Perform some action.................

When I click a button on a Sheet, Certain data is copied from another sheet and paste in active sheet. While this action is taken place, whole sheet is refreshed and the image and a data is blinking for a second.
Do we have an option to avoid that blinking ?

I have a workbook where everything is controlled from a single worksheet that I named "Start".
In the "Start" worksheet I have instructions and one command button. When this button is clicked, it will start the VBA code. The code will basically show a couple of userforms where the user will input some information and after the user clicks on a button on the last userform, the code will generate new worksheet and present the results in that new worksheet.
The user could do this as many times as he wants, each time creating a new worksheet or overwriting in an existing worksheet (except the "Start" worksheet). The user is able to delete any worksheets he want.
I need to write a code so that if the user tries to delete the "Start" worksheet, it will not let him/her because then there is no worksheet where I have the button to click to start the VBA code.
I tried protecting the workbook, but then it does not allow to add new worksheets either.

Is there a way to prevent formulae from losing their references when the references get replaced.
I have formula which refer to a worksheet that is dynamic, meaning that the worksheet holding the data (CONTROL_1) differs from one query to the next is imported from another source. The datasource contents and format are identical.

One of my work colleagues need to add a worksheet to an existing Excel Spreadsheet which has VBA behind it, but the worksheet is password protected. The developer who wrote the application has now left, so we have no idea what the password is. Is there anyway of getting round it, like cracking into the spreadsheet to find out the password, or another way?

I have this workbook to keep track of current and new work for the team - each individual inputs information on their own tab.
In turn, the current information is displayed on a summary page so we can all see who's doing what.
I want to protect that summary page and its formulas from accidental amendment.
However, while the summary page (when unprotected) updates as soon as someone enters new information on their own tab, the summary page won't update when I have it protected.
Is there any way of doing this - preferably without VBA as it's a work situation and the employer doesn't like VBA code running?

I've built a workbook using Excel 2000 that uses several combo boxes. When I try to protect the workbook the combo boxes become locked, even when I have done FORMAT CONTROL / PROTECTION and unticked the LOCKED box. Is this normal?. I also have data validation cells and they work fine if I unlock them and Protect the workbook. As a result, I am thinking of converting the combo boxes to data validation cells, but should I even need to do this

Insert hyperlinks
and I need it to leave on the defaults of Select locked cells and select unlocked cells
Sub Spell_Check()
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="pmo"
Cells.CheckSpelling "SRdictionary.dic", SpellLang:=1033
ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="pmo", DrawingObjects:=True, _

I have a data list which needs to be updated by others on a shared drive. I want to protect the worksheet as there is other info on it (advancefilter from the main list). The problem is that the >>Data>>Form tool will open, but all the boxes necessary to update the list are greyed out (New, Delete etc.)
My other option is to create a macro to advance filter out the other data to another worksheet.

I have created a table where the first 6 columns are data entry and the next 6 columns are formulas to give desired results.
I have made all the data entry cells unlocked and the rest of the spreadsheet locked (cells with formulas etc.)
I would like to be able to insert rows to the protect sheet which I have managed to achieve but when I insert the row the formulas do not update in the row.

I was able to create a macro that allows a user to unhide rows in a protected worksheet without unprotecting the other locked fields (see below). My question is: I want to add to this command so that 1 row can not be "unhidden" if the previous row is still hidden. For example, row 25 can not be unhidden if row 24 is still hidden.
Macro command used:
Private Sub Commandbutton4_Click()
Sub Hide_Rows2h()
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="xxx"
Rows("25").Hidden = Not Rows("25").Hidden
ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="xxx"

I have A TABLE (Named Table1) and some columns filled by formula. (Like E,F,G,H columns) When I protect the worksheet E,F,G,H columns are locked, but A,B,C,D columns are UNLOCKED. When is sheet PROTECTED , If I add a row bottom of Table1, does NOT automatically fill the E,F,G,H columns and Table1 range does not expanding. But, if UNPROTECTED, it's OK. when add a row bottom of Table1, automatically fill all columns with formula and table range is expanding aotomatically with new row.
When sheet is PROTECTED , How can I allow, to add a row and aouto fill all columns like unprotected.
And I want to protect sheet in any case, after allowing to add row.
I need a macro code to do this.

I have (several) worksheets that have protection enabled. I have unlocked all the cells that users need access to and locked all the column and row headers/labels.
When I enabled protection on the sheets, the ability to add comments was taken away.
Is there a way to add comments to an UNLOCKED cell in a PROTECTED worksheet?

I have incorporated print/print-preview command buttons/VBA into a workbook with protected sheets. To enable these command buttons to function when the relevant sheet is protected, I have had to add VBA code to unprotect the sheet before generating the print preview, and then to protect it again afterwards. However, the code I have used (see below) prompts the user to enter the protection password, is there any code I can use where I can write the password into the code itself to unprotect the worksheet without the using having to enter the password?
'Unprotect Sheet
ActiveSheet.Unprotect
'Print preview & cell formatting code
'Protect Sheet
ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True _

I am being asked to create a workbook where 80% of it is protected. And user input is restricted to specific columns and rows.
However the user wants column R unprotected so that Comment boxes can be used, but when I protect the workbooksheet the Insert option is not available when you right click.
