View 3 Replies View RelatedFile Locked For Editing - How To Unlock
Mar 15, 2012I am getting a message, the Excel file i am opening (xlsm) is locked for editing by 'another user'. But, NOT SO, of course; i am the only user logged in to this PC, and there is no network access. I quit Excel and verified that i see no Excel processes running. But, when i try to open the file, i still get the "locked by 'another user'" message, and at this point can only open read-only. I looked in the folder the file is in and do not see any of those ~ files or anything else suspicious.
So, what do i do? How do i "unlock"? How can i open this file once again to make modifications to it?
Use VBA To Unlock/lock A Worksheet For Data Entry?
Oct 16, 2009I have a worksheet that, unless a form for data entry is activated, should be read-only for columns 'A' thru 'M' and 'O' with column 'N' left editable.
The form is activated by a button with a macro assigned to enter the data in the above columns when the form is closed. This has been compiled and works nicely with the sheet unlocked, however, as i need certain columns to be read-only unless the form is activated, i'm stuck with leaving the whole sheet unlocked for editing with or without the form being activated.
Is there any way a VBA code could be used to unlock the worksheet columns that are read-only when the form is activated, and then lock them once the form data is entered to the worksheet and the form closed?
Sorting Data With Locked Columns
Feb 20, 2009I have a spreadsheet on lets say 10 columns, now col 1 and 9 are locked so they cant be selected. Col 2-8 can be sorted by selecting them, but information in col 10 does not sort.
Question is there a way of connecting the cells in col 10 to the cell in lets say col 2, so thay when you sort the rows and cols between 2 and 8, the cells on col 10 are sorted as well As i have noticed you cant sort two differenr selections...???
VBA Multiple Selection Via Data Validation With Locked Worksheets?
Oct 17, 2013I have researched and used some code that allows the user to select mutliple items from a list. This is using the Data Validation tool with a list and some code in the relavent sheet. It all works well and as described.
However, when I lock the Worksheet, the multi selection no longer works. Selection cells are ofcourse unlocked when sheet is protected.
I have also trialed unlocking the whole row that the multi selection exists in, no effect.
My understanding of this code is at about 50%.
Is there a way of being able to lock the sheet and retain this ability of multi selection. Maybe there is some other code I could refer too?

Excel 2013 :: CF With 2 Option Buttons / Multiple Option Groups?
Sep 6, 2013I have several option groups (Y & N in each) linked to cells to display TRUE / FALSE depending on which option is selected in each group. I have another cell which I want to apply conditional formatting to if EITHER Y or N is selected in all groups. At present I use COUNTIF to check for FALSE=0 in the linked cells which works if all the answers are Y. How do I apply CF if there is a mixture of Y & N (TRUE / FALSE) in all groups (I'm not sure if I've explained that well or not).

Using Option Button To Display Dynamic Data?
Dec 4, 2012I am currently using 2 options button (radio button) to display different sets of data interactively. 1st option to show data for Male, 2nd option to show data for Female. No problem for both as I am using "choose" =CHOOSE($M$6,J56,J49) formula to display them on row 11th to 17th. But if I were to add in 3rd option called "Both", how do I need to do so? I am expecting the display to go beyond row 18th to show both Male and Female data. There is a chart too that links to these row 11th - 17th currently.

Data Valadtion Option On A Range Of Cells
Feb 7, 2007I am using the data validation option on a range of cells.
On the 'Error Alert' tab I am checking the box for 'Show error alert after invalid data is entered', selecting the 'Stop' style of warning (which should completely prevent entry of invalid data), but the cells with the data validation still allow entry of invalid data. No warning is given either that the data is invalid.
Changing Default Option For Data Series So X & Y Axis
Oct 12, 2007I'm trying to change the default option for the data series when graphing in Excel 2003 .... I am trying to create a line graph
Excel, by default, is putting static pressure on the x axis and the air flow on the y axis .... I need it to be the other way around
I have found out that:
By default, Excel plots whatever you have fewer of—rows or columns—as the data series
apparently it is possible to change this Excel default option, but I can't figure that out
in step 2 of the Chart Wizard, I have tried many different things, but can't get Excel to chart the Air Flow CFM on the x axis, and have static pressure values on the y axis
Data Validation - Option Set Based On Prior Dropdown Without Names Or VBA
Dec 13, 2012I'm creating a form with drop downs, and I'd like the answer choice someone makes for one question (ie- what county they're in) to affect the answer choices for a secondary question (ie- what city they're in).
I'd like to avoid using names, at least for the second dropdown (since there would be too many names, and in some of the questions in the data set things change too much for names to be a good option). I would also like to avoid using VBA to keep it simple and maintainable. Here is a simplified version of a small subset of the data.
Drop Down 1:
County (options: Santa Clara County, Napa County)
Drop Down 2:
Cities/Towns (options: the cities/towns that relate to the above county selection, without using names)
County
Cities/Towns
Santa Clara County
San Jose

Macro To Find And Fill Data With Multiple Search Option?

Mouse Scroll WITHIN A Data Validation List & Option Macro Assistance
Jan 7, 2010I'm trying to do a few things actually. I am somewhat a newb at programming, although I do understand how C++ and the coding works within Excel. To me, it's like the English language...knowing all of the vocabulary and formatting it right is important. If I don't know the vocabulary, I don't know what options I have.
This tool is being used in the call center I work in. It is to help eliminate repititious information used to notate accounts. I have attached a picture of what the tool looks like so you can have a better idea of what I'm working with. Here are a list of things I'm trying to do which I have searched and not found answers to:
1. I am trying to use a middle mouse scroll to scroll through validation list. This list information is located on a different locked tab. Basically, I have a few rows where a drop down selection can be made and it would be easier to scroll rather than manually moving the slider within the validation list.
2. As you can see, this "tool" an employee and I have created has many buttons. What I would like to do is to be able to click a button on the right and have it "stack" text within a single cell. In other words, if I click the button once, the text may be entered into the "actions taken" cell. If I click another button, I can have the option (or maybe a little "+" next to the button) to add this button's information to the end of the information already entered within the "actions taken" box. I've tried recording and using the keyboard and selecting "end" and then having the text added, but it didn't work. I've seen "loop" VBA code, but I don't want something to repeat, I want it to stack in the cell when clicked manually.
I'm sure there is a way to make the tool much better using VBA code and not use Excel, but I don't have an extensive knowledge of Excel to do something like that. I'm a very fast learner and understand how the coding works, so if you have an idea which may help, and you understand what I'm trying to do here, please provide your .02.
Basically, it's used so the Customer's name and phone number are entered manually, and then just about everything else is automated by the use of the buttons on the right. If I could get the 2 above options to work, it'd be perfect. I just figured out I could eliminate screen flicker and hide the macros working by using:

Programmatically Lock/unlock Vba
Aug 7, 2007Is it possible to lock/unlock the VBA code in a workbook through VBA from another workbook? I wish to copy modules from one workbook to another, both workbooks will have the VBA code password protected to stop prying eyes. Obviously I need to unlock the VBA in the target workbook before the copy and lock it again afterwards. Can this be done programatically? If there is no function in VBA to do this can you provide an example of how to do it using SendKeys if that is the only way to do it?

View 1 Replies View RelatedUnlock Sheet On Cell Selection?
Jul 4, 2014I have a table and need to protect the sheet. From searching I see its a common problem as the table wont auto expand on a protected sheet.
I was thinking maybe I could create some sort of change event so if a user selects cells on Column A,B,G,H rows 13-1000 the sheet will auto unlock then lock again once they leave those cells.
I think it may need a few seconds delay to give table chance to autoexpand before sheet is locked again.

Sheets("Kera Rings").Unprotect Password:="elohim"
Sheets("IS CALCULATOR").Unprotect Password:="elohim"

End Sub
The code stops at the first line of the unprotect event, with the message that the password is not correct. If I try to manually unprotect, the password is accepted.
