I have a spreadsheet that has I have protected. On this sheet I have a button labeled Reset Form. When you click the button it it goes to each Unprotected Cell and deltes the contents. I created this by starting the macro and then tabbing to each and every cell and deleteing the contents I then ended the macro...
Is there a code that I can use for to clear all unprotected cells as opposed to creating the macro manually?
I have a button, and I need a Macro that will cause it to clear all unprotected cells. I think I can figure out how to get it to clear an individual cell, and I suppose I could enter every cell I want cleared individually...but that might take awhile.
Is there a way to set up a Macro that will delete the contents of every unprotected cell? I guess I haven't tried it yet - if I protect the cells, will it not delete those? Also, there is a small image - I don't want that deleted either.
I have created an Excel template for others to use. They can enter data in certain unprotected cells and the data is linked to other places in the workbook. If they Cut and Paste something in the unprotected cells, the formulas get a REF#. There is no problem if they Copy and Paste. How can I prevent the REF# error without resorting to VBA?
The Special GoTo function doesn't have a listing for highlighting (going to) only protected or (preferribly) unprotected cells. Is there an easy way to do this?
I Need to protect some cells from being Changed or deleted, if i protect the whole sheet there are some cells that need to be changed using the formatting bar I.e borders, colours, font- colour, Merged cells.
the protection setting allows you to leave individual cells unprotected however you still cannot change the border for example.
Excel 2007 or 2003 Is there code to be able choose the formating of a cell when right clicked if the cell is Unprotected. But, the sheet is Protect and the Workbook is Protected. Without Unprotecting anything 1st.
The reason being is sometimes the user may need to change the type of font from Arial, or Gdt or Y14.5M.
I have unprotected cells in excel where I need to change the content (number) and cell color, but I don't want the cell borders to change. I'm a beginner with vba. I've tried protect sheet and workbook options, but looks like I need a vba code and don't know where to start.
My computer runs on Excel 2003 but my Laptop is on Excel 2000, the problem is I have the below code on a spreadsheet I wrote on my Computer which runs fine but when I open it on my Laptop it comes up with a run time error it doesn’t like the clear contents line. If some one could explain to me why it is happening and how to get round the problem so it will work in Excel 2003 and 2000.
Private Sub Workbook_Open() Application. ScreenUpdating = False Sheets("data").Visible = xlVeryHidden Sheets("Incidents").Visible = xlVeryHidden Sheets("Front Sheet").Select Range("A17:S17").Select Selection.ClearContents Open1.Show Range("A17").Select Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Sub
I am trying to clear the contents of cells in a very large spread sheet containing certain words. I am running the following macro and it will only do the first part, so it will clear cells containing "deceased" but stops at "esa". There may be any number of other words or text in the cell and I want it to delete cells with "esa" by itself so for ex. not delete cell containing "vanesa". I am very amateur so I am sure this is something simple but I cannot find the answer or figure it out for myself.
Sub DeleteAll() Dim lCount As Long Dim rFoundCell As Range Dim rLookRange As Range Set rFoundCell = Range("A1") Set rLookRange = ActiveSheet.UsedRange For lCount = 1 To WorksheetFunction. CountIf(rLookRange, "*deceased") Set rFoundCell = rLookRange.Find(What:="deceased", After:=rFoundCell, _ LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _ SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False) rFoundCell.ClearContents.......................
I have cells, or columns hidden when I do not need them, but I have to a data entered in those cells to make my spread sheet work. Usually just 0.
When I do the all clear or " clear all contents" operation at the end of the day, it clears the hidden data/cells too. Is there anything I can do to stop excel from clearing those hidden cells?
I have a macro where somone fills in a form and then it copies the data in the form to a database (another worksheet). Once the macro is run and has copied the form to the database, I then clear each cell seperately using the below code :-
I have compiled the following code with bits from here there and everywhere to clear the user entered details on a form. My problem is that I need to retain or reset to "Please Select" the cells with drop down lists.
In list form, I am trying to;
Unprotect the worksheet, Select the cells with drop down lists and lock them, Delete the contents of unlocked cells, Selecting and unlocking the cells with the drop down lists ready for re-use, Re-protect the worksheet.
(I probably should mention that my "Form" is just a formatted worksheet that looks like a form on the screen and when printed, not any sort of inbuilt Excel function that I have read about somewhere, probably here)
Code: Sub ClearUnlockedCells() ' ' Clearform Macro ' Clear entered data from Form. ' Dim WorkRange As Range Dim DVRange As Range
I've created (with the help of jmthompson from here) a macro to pull an entire row of data and copy to another sheet (Sheet1) if column U has "YES" in the cell.
Now I need to clear the contents of cells in range B-U after the copy has occurred.
I have a workbook with a series of sheets that have tables for entering data. The table row and column labels and formulas in certain cells of each sheet are locked and some sheets are hidden.
When opening the file I want to clear all cell contents (interior color, comments, data, etc) in all the unlocked cells on each sheet that is not hidden.
I tried protecting the sheets first so only the unlocked cells would be accessible, but when I run the code below I get an error saying that the clear contents etc. cannot be performed because the sheet is protected. If it is not protected, everything gets wiped out.
How can I keep the locked stuff but clear the unlocked cells?
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets If ws.Visible = xlSheetVisible Then

Code to run a macro called "PriceForm" instead of clearing the cells.
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate() Static MyMarket As Variant Application.EnableEvents = False Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual If [A1].Value = MyMarket Then GoTo Xit Else MyMarket = [A1].Value Range("T5:X50").Value = "" End If Xit: Application.EnableEvents = True Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic End Sub
I need to know if it is possible for a macro to run if a specific worksheet is unprotected?
For example, if someone takes off the protection to my costings sheet either through VBA or finding out the password, i want Excel to run a certain macro if possible?
I am working on a worksheet that has been protected off and on. I unprotected this AM, but XL will not allow changes and instructs to unprotect the WS, but it is already unprotected. The WB is not protected and never was. I am at a loss as to how to work around this problem.
I'm currently using a vba script to unprotect all of my worksheets within my workbook in order to refresh the pivots and then protect them again once the pivots are completed, but there are two worksheets I would like to remain unprotected in order for users to be able to edit them after the pivots have been refreshed. Now I've tried adding a sub code in order to unprotect one of the sheets as a test to see if it will allow me to edit the worksheet after I update the pivots. Unfortunately the coding isn't working, and the worksheet is still remaining in protect mode. Here's the code I am using to protect the worksheets when refreshing the pivot as well as the code I am attempting to use in order to unprotect the one worksheet.
I have macros that I use in my PERSONAL.XLSB to protect/unprotect all sheets.
My unprotect sheets macro is:
[Code] .....
Some of my workbooks have many sheets, but have different passwords.
What I would like to change is, instead of the "One or more worksheets could not be unprotected". I'd like to have the msg box show a list with the names of the worksheets that couldn't be unprotected.
I have the following code (provided here some years ago) which works fine. But I now need to modify it to include an optional password and to allow sort of unprotected cells on manually chosen sheets.
I have a file used by numerous facilties. I would like code to track any time a protected sheet has been unprotected / protected. I would also like the stamp to show the user data if that can be done.
I have a worksheet that has headings along the and summary stats down the right and bottom of an area where details can be entered.
Depending on a persons user name columns are hidden/visible so that they can only enter information relevant to their section. The workbook is also shared.
What I want to do is stop people from being able to overwrite the headings or formula that calculate the stats but as the workbook is shared and the VBA that hides/unhides the columns needs the sheet to unprotected I am having to use code to prevent this: ....
Is it possible to adjust column width of a PW protected worksheet without unprotecting it, or unprotect it and adjust in background then PW protect it?
On sheet1 H1 = column width value Will adjust Sheet2 (password protected) column E width
