For an excel application I need the disable most of the ribbon content i.e. disable insert, formulas tab etc.
The only thing that should function is a hand build menu add-in, which is created with custum UI editor.
I searched via google, this forum and many other places, but i didnt find a clear answer yet.
VBA code to disable(grey out) condition formatting command in ribbon. Because I generated a template and do not want user to change the condition formatting.
I have tried below, but it did not work...
Application.CommandBars(1).Controls("Format").Controls("Conditional Formatting...").Enabled = False
Essentially, I'm creating a spreadsheet which contains a list of staff in rows, and the months of the year as columns. It is to record certain company checks which must be done (e.g. driving licence check). When a check is complete, the date it was done is entered under the corresponding month. Certain checks (e.g. driving license) only need to be done every 6 months. What I'm trying to do is find a formula/vba to look at each row, determine where (which month) the date was entered in, and grey out the 5 months in front, meaning the next check is required in 6 months time.
Ideally, the frequency of this check is dynamic, and can reference a cell (e.g. might change to every 3 months etc).
I have the code that accompanies the attached spreadsheet model that locks the copy, paste, cut, double click and so on, with the right mouse button and shortcut keys, however, the toolbar excel these functions still remain active. How well I block access to the toolbar.

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 would like to restore some important functionality in Excel 2007 which has become disabled for a spreadsheet which I saved in different file formats.
I opened an Excel 2003 file with Excel 2007 and used 'Save As' into different formats (default, macro-enabled, binary) to see the resulting file size.
A number of Ribbon items are now greyed out for this file, including,
- Insert - Tables, Illustrations, charts, etc.
- Styles - conditional formatting and Format as table,
- Formula Auditing
- Data - just about all of them
- View - some of the Window items.
Also, I cannot resize or move a button on a worksheet.
Attempts to 'Save As' into the Excel 2003 format cause Excel 2007 to hang.
What caused so many features to become disabled?
How do I restore them?
How can I disable the SAVE and PRINT options under Office Button, in excel 2007??? I've tried a macro that I used in 2003 version, but it not works (problem: "File" menu)!!!
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a code or a way to make it impossible to make permanent changes to a file without first saving it as something else? I have a master report that is done monthly.
I do not want anyone to be able to save any changes on the master report. How do I go about disabling save and the save as funtions in excel? I have a save as command button that I only want people to use.
Also is there a way to set up a print command button to print to any computers default printer? I have set up a print command button on my computer and it works fine on mine, but I have sent the file to another person and the button is not doing anything on their computer. I assume because we don't have the same computers.
I have a workbook with 3 sheets.
The underlying VBA is password protected and I have the password.
My problem is there is one sheet that I can see in the VBA side of things but cant see on the excel side
Format/sheet/unhide - suggest there is no sheets hidden
If I right click on the sheets (vba side) View object can be seen
except for the one sheet which remains greyed out
Any ideas why this is?
If I try and goto(F5) a range in this sheet nothing happens
If I use a dropdown validation cell, which looks at this sheet it works, except there appears to be a line missing.
We are trying to print grey scale text. It will only print grey scale when we print in colour and not in black and white?
The images and line fills we are using are printing in grey, just not the text.
We are using excel 2003. Both word and publisher print grey scale?
I need to find a way to do conditional formatting and disabling of a cell based on a value from another cell. For instance if A1=X,Y, or Z, then B1 will get grayed out and cell entry will be disabled. This is so that when skimming over the sheet, you can tell what cells in row B you need to put info in still, and if it's grayed you'll know you don't have to put anything there (and it won't let you).

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet with rows of cells which are either blank or have text in them.
Is there an easy way to write a formula which will make the cells which have text in them bold and make the cell colour grey. But if the cell is blank keep the cell white.
I am running into a seemingly random event upon executing a rather long program in Excel VBA: a square area turns gray in the left of the screen in Excel, making invisible everything under it, and affecting every sheet and workbook open. The only way to get rid of it, so far, has been to restart Excel. I thought it pertained to a faulty Office installation (XP/2002), but then it also happened on another machine (with Excel 2003) where I installed the application.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have information in A1. I want A1 to look at B2:B5 and D2:D5 (Under conditional formatting) and if there is one or more "X" in those cells to color A1 Grey (Fill). I keep trying to put a formula under conditional formatting, but it is only working for the first cell (B2) and not the rest.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a way to highlight groups of identical number cells in alternating grey and white. My goal is to make it clear when there is a repeating set of numbers. Below is an example of what a completed state of this would look like that I created manually. The real form I will be using this code on will have long number which is why I am looking for this added clarification. I am using excel 2010.

I have a spreadsheet that lists a set of actions and the days they need to be completed.
The due dates are listed in column c and in column h I have a the user choosing "completed" from a drop down data validation.
I have a dashboard on a separate worksheet, showing if the item is complete and the due date.
Ideally I would like to display the dates on the dashboard in red if they are past due, and the box in column h was not marked complete.
I have been going through my books and trying to solve this, but I run into a different issues.
Even if for now If I can get the main worksheet to display the color conditional formatting that would work
I am using Excel 2002 and have had a couple of files that seem to have become corrupted recently. When I try to open the files there is nothing there, no cells just a grey space where the cells should be. When I try to close Excel it asks me if I want to save changes when no changes have been made.
I had not made any changes to the sheets prior to this happening so am struggling to work out what is going on.
I need to count the total number of times 4 different values appear in a column. This formula works for one value:
=COUNTIFS(Source!$C:$C,$B5,Source!$J:$J,$L$3,Source!$L:$L,$H$1)
Where H1 contains the word Assigned. I need to also find and add to count for matches in I1,J1 and K1 which contain New, Pending and Work in Progress respectively.
I am wanting to create a list where I can select multiple items within that list and then print only those selected items. I have created something similar thru data validation, but I can't get it to print.
In addition, I would like to be able to subdivide the list into multiple categories, then select items from these multiple categories and print them.
I try to add add ins tab to the ribbon. i checked in customize ribbon. it is not coming.

I have opened a dodge workbook on which disabled the Feld List button in the pivot table contextual tab Options>Show>Field List.
I found the following line of code which confirms the command as being disabled by returning a FALSE message.
MsgBox Application.CommandBars.GetEnabledMso("PivotFieldListShowHide")
Now I need the code tore-enable this command.
I am looking for the settings if possible that will add to a custom tab in the ribbon.
What I have is an add-in that creates a custom tab in the excel ribbon. I save it as an add-in and activate it in excel options so it is available for all workbooks.
Now I have a callback in there that runs a macro that opens a workbook, this workbook also has custom UI that I want additional callbacks added to the same custom tab created in the add-in.
Is this possible?
I have a template sheet where the only thing the user need to do is fill in all the appropriate cells and the click the button that says SAVE to save the file to the right folder and file name.
I want to Grey out the ribbon completely so that user can even change the font or any thing else for that matter. The sheet and workbook is protected. Need a way to stop any unwanted tinkering.
Someone sent me a spreadsheet that made my ribbon and everything disappear. All that remains is the grid field and the title bar.

But if you happen to want to assign it to a Ribbon button click...

the sendkeys method just doesn't seem to work under any circumstance.
I'm trying to finish a project, but the features at the top of the ribbon are faded out which means I have no access to any of them. How do I get access to them?
View 9 Replies View RelatedIn a program that I'm intimately familiar with (Excel) I seem to find it annoying. ...or at least in my limited usage thus far it's been that way. Takes up a lot of screen real estate and seems to be a bit of a cluttered jumbled mess of text and graphics.
For programs I use less frequently (Publisher) it seems to be helpful. I can sorta right-click my way through lots of things and get stuff done. That's kinda nice.
For a program I use moderately (Word) it's sort of a toss-up. I can't find stuff easily, but once I figure it out, it seems like it's a more efficient design.
