Conditionally Lock Row Based On One Cell's Contents
I'm trying to figure out how to lock a range of cells (all in a row) when some puts a specific character in one of the cells. I have a sheet where I want people to enter data. Once they put a 'C' in the last column to indicate that the entry is complete, the whole row should be locked so they can't change any of the cells for that entry. There are some good pointers already on the forum to help me get the basics:
Conditional Cell Lock Unlock

However, all of these point to specific cells rather than a range of cells that can be located close to the target of the change.

Lock Row Based On Cell Contents
I wish to be able to lock an entire row after an entry has been made in a certain cell. e.g. let's say i want to lock row 9 in its' entirety following entry of "Yes" in cell G9. If there is no entry in G9 the the entire row should be still unlocked. Likewise with any row with a corresponding entry in column G.

Conditionally Change Number Format Based On Another Cell's Value
Format the number in Column AL to '[hh]:mm' when Column C's value is ="P/T", otherwise format to 'General' Column C's value is referenced from another sheet in the same workbook via a VLOOKUP function. Column AL's value is based on an IF formula which goes like this: =IF($C4="F/T",SUM($AJ4)+($AK4/2),SUM($D4:$AH4)) Basically the above formula asks if Column C's value is F/T then count (because if F/T then the corresponding values in that row are whole numbers). If not, then SUM (because if P/T the corresponding values in that row are set to [hh]:mm format). I have another sheet in the same workbook which has code (quoted below) which does something similar but I don't understand it enough to get it doing what I want for the sheet in question.

Conditionally Format First Cell Based On Values In The Row
i've been trying for teh last two days to figuire out a way to conditionally format the first cell in a row to turn a certain color based on the values of several independant cells in that row, as opposed to monitoring the whole row. I have tried numerous IF, AND, OR, formulas to no avail. The cell obviously also needs to ignore blank cells...Can this be done? Basically I want the first cell to turn yellow if dates in certain cells are within 90 days of today, and turn red if within 30 days of today.......

Clearing Cell Contents If Conditionally Formatted
This is my first use of the forum as I only joined yesterday after a recommendation from another colleague. I am attempting to write a macro to clear the contents of cells in a range that have conditional formatting. Below is the formula I have used... Sub clr() Dim r As Range For Each r In Range("09:050") If InStr(r.Interior.ColorIndex, "40") Then r.ClearContents Next r End Sub While the formula runs without error, it does not clear the contents, although I read on another thread on this forum that you cannot clear contents of cells that are conditionally formatted. Alternatively, if there is a more efficient way to clear cell contents (without using a formula in the cell itself),

Get A Cell To Look At A Row Based On Contents
I want to have a cell that looks at another cell based on a number that is in another cell. So imagine if you will: A1 contains the number 25. A2 contains the formula I can't work out. I want it to look at the row that is the number contained in cell A1, so in this case it would look at row 25. Now I want to narrow it down further to a cell in that row but this will be a constant so lets say column F. So if A1=25 then A2 would display what ever is in F25. If cell A1 were 16 it would display the contents of F16 etc. The best I got was something like =IF(A1=>1,(F(A1))) but obviously that is wrong as it doesn't work.

Paste Data To Next Empty Row Based On Cell Contents
I am trying to write a macro to do the following: Loop through a range of cells on a worksheet Sheet1 M17:M46 and if there is text in the cell then Copy all the data to the left Of Coumun M in the same row and paste the values to the next open row of a range A17:L46 on another worksheet (sheet2.) Basically the text in column M is an idicator to add the data to an order sheet. If there is no text don't add the data , look in the next row etc. I'm not sure if this is the way to go Sub CopyRows() Worksheets("sheet1").Select FinalRow = Range("M65536").End(xlUp).Row ' Find the last row of data ' Loop through each row For x = 2 To FinalRow ' Decide if to copy based on column M ThisValue = Range("M" & x).Value ' could be any value If ThisValue = "yes" Then Worksheets("sheet2").Range("A" & x & ":L" & x).Copy Worksheets("sheet1").Select NextRow = Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row + 1 Range("A" & NextRow).Select ActiveSheet.PasteSpecial = xlValues Worksheets("sheet1").Select End If Next x End Sub

Adding Multiple Row Contents Based On The Content Of A Single Cell
Been trying to work this one out and have ended up banging my head against the wall. Basically I have a spreadsheet, in the first column is the person's name, in the secon which team they are in and following this a cell for each day of the month with their availability. The team name is a selection from a list, the availability is 1-6 (different levels of availability) I'm trying to do subtotals at the bottom for each separate team, so the very last row each of the cells for each is added up: Name Team 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th etc. Mr X ___1st___1______2__1 Mr Y ___2nd_______2________5__5__5 Mr Z ___1st___1____________3__3__3 Total 1st: 2 2 1 3 3 3 Total 2nd: 2 5 5 5 So basically the formula in the last row goes along the lines of: Add each cell in the column IF the team name = 1st

Using 'IF' With Conditional Format (change Cell Color Based On The 'P' Or 'F')
My cell has a 'P' or an 'F' plus some additional text. I'm trying to change cell color based on the 'P' or 'F' but I can't get it to recognize the letters. Samples of what I've tried: =IF(LEFT(L23,1)=P) =IF(MID(L23,1,1)=P) etc. I can 'FIND' the 'P' or 'F' but there may be a P or F else where in the cell so the color may come up incorrect. I'm trying to get it to just look at the first character in the cell. Can the 'IF' be used with CFs?

Copy Row Based On Contents Of 2 Different Cells.
I would like to do now would be to only copy the rows that also contain the word sold in column C. I guess that I could do this in two stages, first copying the rows based on the year then copy again based on the word sold in column C.

How can you access a cell's value via a vb variable that contains the cell's address. I have a vb variable named cellAddress (string) that contains "$A$1" and I want to assign the contents of what cellAddress points to another VB variable - how do i Do this? e.g. if cellAddress = "$a$1" and A1 contains "xyz", I would like to assigne "xyz" to a new vaiable by referencing just cellAddress??? Also - Can anyone reccomend a good Excel VB book? A book that maybe stresses the VB language rather then a cook-book approach.

Lock & Unlock A Cell Based On Another Cells Value
trying to put together a formula, I am trying enable two cells to change between being 'Locked' and 'Unlocked'. I am doing this by using a CheckBox which is referenced to cell [E16] so that when it is checked, 'TRUE' will be displayed and when Unchecked 'FALSE' is displayed. From this I have tried to devise a formula for the cells [c26:I26] and [K26] that when cell [E16] shows 'TRUE' the cells [c26:I26] and [K26] are Unlocked and when it shows 'FALSE' the cells [c26:I26] and [K26] then become locked.

Automatically Update A Protected Cell Based On Contents Of An Unprotected Cell
I am trying to find some VBA that will allow protected cells to be updated when a user enters or selects data in other cells. For example: Cell 'A1' starts out blank. Cell 'B1' has a drop down to select specific items. Cell 'C1' is the date of the order and is a locked cell. Cell 'D1' is the date of completion and is a locked cell. The worksheet is protected to prevent direct changes to cells C1 and D1. If a user enters any information in A1, then C1 displays the current date. If a user selects 'Complete' from the drop-down list in B1, then D1 displays the current date. Both of these actions are independant of one another. This format is the same for every cell in the 4 columns indicated above. I thought I was able to do this in another spreadsheet I created a year or so ago but I have not been able to figure out what I did and I do not have the spreadsheet to look at.

Workaround For Public Variable Bug: Creates Different Cell Colors Based Upon The Cell Contents
I am in the process of reformatting an excel workbook to act as a review tool for different factors in a process. Part of my redesign includes the use of coding that creates different cell colors based upon the cell contents. The new workbooks will be used to handle existing data for this year. I have developed a process macro to open an existing workbook and copy and transfer the original data worksheet into the newly formatted workbook. The data gets transferred to the new worksheet and the resulting workbook is renamed and saved, Heres'' the rub... the newly saved workbook is missing all of the coding for the worksheets... apparently this is a MS bug. Has anyone figured a workaround for this. One thought I had is to open both( new and old )workbooks and rather than move/copy , i would transfer the data using cell references.

Clear Contents Of Cell Based On Comparsion Of Cell Values
I am a financial administrator & every month I have down load 4 bank accts as CSV, import into xl & code (CACode) the amounts for our accountant.

Calculating Total Based On Cell Contents
I'd like excel to calculate 3 totals for me based on the colour and value on a worksheet. Basically, I work for various people and they pay at different rates per hour. I currently have a spreadsheet with their names, times, and rates (see attached for example), but I calculate the amounts paid and due manually. If possible I would now like excel to do it. To explain further, 'J' gives me $10 per hour, and 'V' gives me $5 per hour. Cells shown in red show work done but not paid for. Cells shown in green show work done and paid for. I'd like excel to automatically create totals as shown on the spreadsheet, namely: Total due: xxxx Total paid: xxxx Total outstanding: xxxx At any time during the month I can be asked to take on more work - I would then enter the code into the spreadsheet for the hours requested...and I'd like the totals to be update automatically.

Delete Rows Based On Cell Contents
I have merged two workbooks into one. What I need to do at this point is to delete all rows that have a duplicate entry, basically anytime the cell content in one cell matches the cell content in the cell right below or above it, BOTH rows should be deleted. At this point, this is above my VBA skills so I'm asking for help in how to do this. The stripped version of the workbook is attached (only 100 rows) but in reality this is a huge workbook with almost 22,000 rows. You will notice in the attached workbook, that cell contents for A2 and A3 match. For what I need to do, I need both rows (2 and 3) to be deleted. If you go down a bit, starting in row 89 all the contents in column A are unique so those need to remain.

LOOKUP Range Based On Contents Of A Cell
I want to be able to send out one “master” workbook with the fourteen ranges, and use a pull-down list (or anything else) so when the user selects a state, the proper lookup range will be used. In the attached abbreviated example, I want the lookups in Column B to refer to the state designated in B2. In this case, the VLOOKUP works correctly, since Colorado zip codes are in the ColZip range. The people in Idaho or Oregon using this will only be working with their respective zip codes in ranges IdaZip or OreZip, so if they enter their state in B2, I would like the VLOOKUP to look in a different range. My whole idea is to only have one master workbook so I don’t have to create one for each district office. Maybe I’m thinking in a wrong direction altogether.
