Is it possible to disable all Excel functions? not as in disable calculation, but actually make Excel's standard functions not available in a workbook.
My reason for wondering if this is possible is that I would like to write UDFs that perform special actions in addition to the typical Excel functions, but give them the same name as their Excel counterparts... essentially create polymorphisms / overloaded Excel functions.
I have a spreadsheet which has extra worksheets at the end that the user can move around, if they need them.
Then i found out that users were adding there own sheets, so i protected the workbook, but i found out that this stops the user from moving the sheet.
Whats the easiest way probably using code to disable the worksheet functions, ie the ones that appear if you click on the tab (insert,delete,rename,move+copy,select all sheets etc) but still allow the user to move the sheet within the workbook
I need a macro to disable all cut options (ctrl^x, right click cut, cut button in ribbon above), disable drag and drop, but still allow copying and pasting (the cutting affects cell references). I've already locked the spreadsheet, but users need to be able to input information and paste information in from other workbooks. This code must also only apply to THIS WORKBOOK and not affect others. Please help with a macro for this, as well as where to paste and how to properly configure macro security settings. I'm a big excel user, but this is my first time ever with VB and macros so talk to me like I'm dumb! I've pasted links to the two codes I tried, and I think one of them enabled a macro that affected all workbooks and now whatever code I put in won't save upon re-opening. It's there when I navigate to it, but it is ineffective like it's not even there. In macro security, I've enabled all macros and have the "trust VB programming" box checked. So maybe do some damage control before re-programming. I am getting a new computer in less than a month, but I want to be able to try out the code and have it work first, and I don't want to transfer the harmful code to the new computer.
P.S. This first code allows copying and cutting, but then just disables pasting, which is not what I want. The second one works great, but disables the right click menu altogether, which is no good either. And neither allow for pasting from the outside. And this is for moderate excel users, they won't try to erase the macro. I just need to keep them from making mistakes with cutting.

Below are the codes to hide the objects within Excel, Disable Keyboard shortcuts and disable right click, all are placed in the ThisWorkbook and i placed them in a 'Private Sub Workbook_Open()' function.
VB:
'Change 'False' to 'True' to unhide
ActiveWindow.DisplayGridlines = False
ActiveWindow.DisplayHeadings = False
[Code]....
There maybe simpler ways to do the above i just don't know them, it's just these have worked for me and i have had zero bugs come back from them!
I'm actually trying to make a game in Excel, coded in VBS (I know, this is crazy ), and I use the API "GetAsyncKeyState" in order to catch what keys are pressed :
Code:
Public Const VK_UP = &H26
Public Const VK_DOWN = &H28
Public Const VK_LEFT = &H25
Public Const VK_RIGHT = &H27
Public Const VK_DELETE = &H2E
Set oDyn = CreateObject("DynamicWrapper")
[Code] ........
It works perfectly, except when the Excel window is activated (i.e. foreground) : GetAsyncKeyState doesn't catch keys anymore. Excel seems to keep it for himself, and don't share it with the System...
I already tried to disable the Excel DataEntryMode, but my problem's still here... Is there a way to disable this Excel's behaviour, or making GetAsyncKeyState work better ?
I need to disable 'save as' in an excel file. I have read some previous topics but I cant understand it. Is there anyone who can explain it to me as detailed as possible?

Currently I am working on a workbook where I am using a Save As VBA to create a folder and rename the file. The following code seems to be working fine so far with Excel 2007. Is there a way to confirm that it will work with all other versions of Excel and that my DesktopFolderPath String will work on all users machines?
In addition to these concerns, I am trying to avoid any Runtime Errors and currently, the Compatability Alert is the only thing I can see that is creating one. When it displays, in the event the user is unsure what to do, as most of our field staff is, and they select "Cancel" it displays the error Run Time Error.jpg. Can the Compatibility Alert be disabled? If so where do i add it in my code.

Cell D7 - data validation reads as such: It is a List and the source is I6:I7. I have In-Cell dropdown selected. Ignore Blank is not checked.
I now password protect the sheet and only D7 is unlocked. real simple, the person using it can only use D7 and select one of two in the drop down menu.
The problem is, if the user clicks on D7 and hits delete, the cell goes blank. How can I avoid this?
I am looking for a way of allowing users to edit the existing cells at their will, but simultaneously disabling the option to insert/ delete columns or rows.
By enabling Sheet Protection, I cannot find a way to do it. Can I?
I am on MS Excel 2007 by the way.
I found the way, just unlock all cells in Format Cells, Protection Tab. Then Protect sheet and de-select what you want to disable.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIs there any excel-addin which offers function in which you could search any excel function (not just formula) so that you could access any function in a seconds, just like google desktop search for windows.
Right now you could use quick access for most common functions you use and shortcuts for functions in different group. But if there is universal search for all the functions, it is going to be faster for any access!

I am using Excel 2013. I have a spreadsheet that has a lot of very tall cells. When I use the scrollbar to scroll to certain parts of the spreadsheet it will automatically scroll up or down to the top of a cell. So if I want to view the middle of two tall cells that take up the whole screen it will automatically scroll up to the top of the highest cell that I'm currently viewing.
I just want to be able to scroll to where I want to scroll without Excel moving me up or down. I've tried to find answers on message boards but no luck.

I am trying to extract values from a text. I used macro to solve the problem. I was able to extract the numbers however i am trying not to extract all of the numbers in text. For example as you can see below, i am trying to get only 22.99 The only unique thing here can be $ sign i believe. I need to put a criteria that selects the number right after $ sign and extracts 5-6 decimals after that.
**work lamp/desk light led;orion8879 final price: $22.99 (store)**
this is the text in a cell and i only need 22.99 not 8879)
