when the user tries to enter data into Ranges E25:E26, G25:G26 OR I25:I26 I want to have my own customised prompt that says: "You are using Imperial Units. Enter drafts in the Imperial range by clicking the Imperial button on the left".
To make it more interesting, the cursor should go to the range that I have named 'Imperial', when the user clicks on the 'OK' button of the above prompt.
I have a workbook that is protected by password. I have to unprotect sheets.
How can I unprotect sheets and workbooks while I am updating or changing?
I have a workbook that many moons ago I protected. Now I want the workbook to be an unprotected workbook so many users can view and update if necessary.
Typically I know you are supposed to go to: Review, Changes, Unprotect Workbook. But all that is available is to protect the workbook, but it is already protected. I know this because every time I open the workbook, I am prompted to enter a password.
Is there another way to remove this workbook protection I do not know about?
I have a master file that generates a new file every time the master user run the macro. The macro is pasted here:
Code:
Sub NewWorkbook()
'
ThisWorkbook.Unprotect ("Password01#")
[Code]....
I want the new file to be opening without asking for any password at all. What am I supposed to include in the code for that?
I have a protected worksheet containing an SQL query. I have two cells on the worksheet unlocked so that users can enter fresh parameters to feed the query.
Because I have to use MS Query to interrogate our SQL server (current IT decree), the query won't support parameters directly when the query cannot be represented graphically - so I have to manually edit the sql command text and then refresh the query - or at least that was why I wrote the code below
The problem: My macro won't unprotect the sheet before it calls the SQL.it therefore won't update the sheet to detail the DSN, command text and number of parameters (latter should be 0) - info just used to verify queryit won't run the query / return the data as the sheet is still protected Comment: I have had to remove sheet protection in order to allow the sql to execute and return data. If protection is removed, the query does execute and return data ( changes in the "parameter" cell contents do cause the query to be correctly modified)
I could comment out the debug info but the query still doesn't return data if the sheet is protected.
Activesheet And worksheets(ndx) where ndx has been defined As ActiveSheet.Name
I apologise If my post Is difficult To follow - especially the code.
Sub AgedStockParameters()
nmb = ActiveWorkbook.Name
ndx = ActiveSheet.Name
Workbooks(nmb).Activate
Worksheets(ndx).Activate
ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Select
WkshtQryCon = Workbooks(nmb).Worksheets(ndx).QueryTables(1).Connection
ActiveCell.Value = WkshtQryCon
Range("A2").Select
WkshtQryFld = Workbooks(nmb).Worksheets(ndx).QueryTables(1).CommandText
ActiveCell.Value = WkshtQryFld.......................
Does anyone know if there is a way to unprotect a sheet. The person who created this spreadsheet no longer works for our company and although we can see the spreadsheet, the formulas are hidden so we can't figure out where the data is being pulled in from. Any ideas?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have an excel file downloaded which has data as per serial number.The serial numbers are like 1,1.1,1.2,1.1.1,1.1.2,1.2.1 etc
I want to sort them in proper order. For eg. 1,1.1,1.1.1,1.1.2,1.2,1.2.1,1.3,1.4,1.4.1,1.4.2,1.5 etc
Normal sorting in excel does not work as the order is not proper.Can I have some kind of VBA script or way by which I can sort these numbers.
I have an add-in with an attached customised toolbar. If I add a new button to the toolbar, it will be available. However, if I unload the add-in and reload again, every changes to the toolbar buttons and menu items will be lost.
This is an example of what I have done:
1) I add a button to the add-in toolbar.
2) In VB editor, I change the IsAddin property to False so that the addin workbook is visible.
3) Under the Tools->Customized, I attached the toolbar to the add-in workbook.
4) In VB editor, I change the IsAddin property back to True.
5) After I unload and reload the add-in again, the new button is not available on the toolbar.
In Windows 98 for example when you created a Customised Toolbar and attached macros to it a file was created with the user name followed by 8.
i.e. timbo8
You could copy this file and keep it was a backup in case you lost the toolbar/s. Which invariably happened whn someone else logged onto your pc. When the company transferred over to Windows 2000 this file was called something else I thing it ended in a .xla extension but I don't know what it was called or where it it located.
I have written some code that customises my Right-Click Menu. This works perfectly well but doesn't create the FaceIDs.Can anyone explain why? The Code is as follows

'DEFINE THE RANGE CONTAINING ALL THE MACRO NAMES
Set rngMacroNames = Sheet1.Range("MacroNames")

I have a spread sheet that is protected. I would like to have cell G5 unprotected when a checkbox is checked. I am able to unprotect the entire sheet by checking the box but I only want G5 unprotected. My current macro that unprotects the entire sheet is
Sub Checkbox_Clear2()
Sheets("Input_Personnel").Unprotect ("1")
If Range("J12") = False Then Range("G5").ClearContents
End Sub
Is there a way to change the highlighted line where it only unprotects cell "G5".
following code so as to have certain cell ranges protected and unprotected USING COMMANDBUTTON/PASSWORD
Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim Password As String
JamesPassword = "MyPassword" '
[Code]......
Sheets("sheet1").Range("a1").Value = Environ("username")
If Range("a1").Value = Range("H5").Value Then format.cell("c24")Protection=unlocked
I will have someone type in their supervisor's name in H5. When they send the form to their supervisor and A1 matches the entry in H5, I want cell c24 to be unlocked so the supervisor can make an entry.
I am working on my spreadsheet and was wondering if anyone knows if cells can be Protected or Unprotected based on the value of another cell?
Here is what I am looking for:
If cell "A16" on the "Input Sheet" equals AR then Protect Cells J16, K16, L16, M16, N16, and O16
If the value of A16 on the Input Sheet DOES NOT equal AR then leave those cells unprotected.
Has anyone ever done anything like this? On my spreadsheet it would allow the user to skip the unnecessary cells as opposed to having to Tab through them. Not a big deal but definitely would be a time saver and a lot more user friendly.
If you have any questions or concerns just let me know. I will wait to see what the Excel Guru's come up with.
Is there a way for VBA to prompt the user for a new selection?.
For exmaple,
Code:
Sub BlankRow()
The reason I need this is because I am already in a macro and can not change selection on screen and I don't want to exit routine to make new selection (last line of code).
'I need to be able to select new active cell!
ActiveCell.EntireRow.Select
Selection.ClearContents
ActiveCell.EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = 1
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Edit.Show
End Sub
Which function would I use if I wanted a macro to run upon the user either clicking on a cell within a certain column, or tabbing to a certain column.
Right now I am using
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
End Sub
But it doesn't take effect until after the user has inputted something into the cell.
I have a macro that locks the cell (cell rangeis given) after entering data into cell & thereafter if we have tochange the value of cell it asks for password. It works well.
I want somechanges in this macro - currently if I move cursor on locked cell then alsoit prompt for password & i want if i edit that cell by double click or F2then only he ask for password.
I have a sheet that has vast amount of rows and all I need is for a message prompt to appear if there is an empty cell in columns A to E and if possible the blank cells reference number to be displayed in the message prompt?

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.
we have one excel sheet. I want to write or edited data in specific cell. For example anybody can write in coloum : C1, c2, c3, c4, k6 and m6 (highlighted in green colour) and remaining all cell range protcted no one can change data. Also they didn't know formula which i m writing in others cell for example fom l6 to l33 or n6 to n33. We are attach file for ur ready ref to know easily.

I have a worksheet where parts of it is locked with a password. I have a data validation cell with a drop down list. I want to set a password to select and change only that cell.
I don't want the list in the cell to be shown without the password
I'm trying to create a worksheet with only one unprotected cell (simple enough!) and I want to base calculations in other protected cells on a running total of how many times a value has been entered in my unprotected cell. Re-entering the same value would need to be counted.
First enhancement would then be a means of resetting the counter.
Second enhancement would be to check for a valid entry and only then increment the counter.
I know that there is a lot on locking cells but it is confusing to me. I am able to lock a worksheet but that is not what I need. I have an Excel document that has thirty to thiry-six names on it. I do not want anyone able to edit the names. But I do want them to be able to add a name.
Example:
There are 30 students in the classroom. A new student comes in. I want the teacher to be able to add that student to the roster but not able to edit the names above. What do I need to do?
I have locked some cells on my Spreadsheet so other people can not change them. What I would like to know is how do I change the colour of the font? I also would like to Bold/unbold the font.

I inserted a hyperlink into a cell that goes to a web page. It works when the sheet is NOT protected, as soon as I protect the sheet it stops working. How do can I lock the workbook and that cell so nobody can change it but the hyperlink still work?
