Disable User Access To Master Sheet Through Doubleclicking Locked Linked Cell
Feb 23, 2010
I have a master spreadsheet that houses most of the information that remains in my control, and several other user spreadsheets that update cells from that master through links.
I am having some problems lately with users doubleclicking the locked linked cells in their workbooks, and excel then wanting to open and give the user access to my master spreadsheet. Is there a way to disable this feature? I would like it to not even acknowledge the action if that's even possible because it confuses them as to why they are getting a prompt to open another document.
Sub randomnumbers() Range("B1").Formula = "=randbetween(1,100)" Range("B1").Value = Range("B1").Value End Sub
There is a button that i click and it creates a random number to cell 'B1'. it works fine, but i need to lock the document so that the user can only access one cell... 'A1' when i lock the document, and i click the button, it gives me a '400' error. i think it is because the button points to a locked cell.
We have Microsoft Excel 2000 and i have locked all worksheets separately. I have enabled Data Validation on a range of cells and enabled a list box. The way the workbook works is you log in with a name, the cell range references the names in each cell to another cell which was your login name. Those that match, after clicking a button will unlock those specified cells.
Then users can use the data validation listbox function to select only their name from the cell that was linked to the log in name box. (the users name that logged in only shows in the list). The problem is, all cells by default are locked in the range with the names in. You cannot delete the values in any other way, unless you unlock the cells. (at least thats what is supposed to happen)
My question is:
Is there any code anybody knows that i can use to make excel copy what excel 2003 does, im sure that the problem is a fault with excel 2000 and microsoft fixed it when they released excel 2003.
Code: Else Sheet8.Unprotect Password:="rm123abc" Sheet8.Range("V" & rw) = "Item is not found in the Data Base. Please Contact DME for all documentation requirements for this item" Sheet8.Protect Password:="rm123abc", AllowFiltering:=True, AllowInsertingRows:=True, AllowDeletingRows:=True End If
Unfortunately, once the code has run and has finished re-protecting my sheet, it doesn't allow the user to select locked cells. These locked cells contain hyperlinks, and they need to click on these hyperlinks to navigate through my workbook.
So I have two questions:
1. How can I enable allow user to select locked cells 2. Do I have to allow the user to select locked cells to access my hyperlinks, or is there another option?
I'm working on a project that has a master workbook and multiple files that link to the master. The master workbook calculates values based off of a ton of information: account info, pricing info, quantity info, etc. It is a pretty massive excel file, but that is not where the problem arises.
The files that I am trying to link contain relevant information for specific accounts, including prices. The cells that contain product prices are linked to the master workbook. Example: Destination file, lets call this "Company A", Source file, lets call this "Master". In Company A's spreadsheet there is a column that contains pricing specific to that company. This pricing comes from the Master. Most of the pricing is in column C. What I have been doing is copying the relevant cell in the master and "Past Special, Paste Link" in Company A. I do this for every product in Company A's worksheet.
The goal of this is to automate pricing, so that when there are price changes or account changes, one would only have to update the master and all the separate account worksheets would populate with the correct prices. The method I've been using was working perfectly, until I had to edit the master file. I had to insert and delete a few rows from the master file. I work in excel quite often and link cells alot, so I figured that the linked cells would update to the new format, but they aren't. Ex. If a cell in Company A's worksheet is referencing F46 in the master and I delete row 44, I would like the cell to now reference F45, because that is the cell with the correct information. But instead Company A's worksheet isn't adjusting for the deleted row and is still referencing F46.
The only solutions I have found for this issue are to either have all the linked files open when I am editing the master. But seeing as there are almost 25 files, that doesn't seem very practical. The other solution is to never insert or delete rows, just to add on to the end of the master spreadsheet.
Is there any way that multiple user are using different excel based user form and update data using that. Is there a way that all the user save the data directly on the main database?
i have this side project that i have been working on for the last few days around work... Excel based of course. to cut a long story short i have been working on a Master File (Team Leader)... this file controls around 15 other files (Team Members). from the Master File the Team Leader can lock / unlock worksheets for the Users (required) for the Team Leader this is displayed on a Listbox (Jan-Dec signifying 12 worksheets per person). Also the Team Leader File has two combobox's for "Team Member's Name" and "Type" then they see a large "commandbutton" that reads "Change Users Stats". the point of this is for the Team Leader... using their Master File to control what is entered and when (locked Months when not in use).
the User (Team Member 1 out of 15) then just enters their data within that given Month which is unlocked. so the Commandbutton checks for the Name Listed from Combobox1... then checks to see what Type from combobox2... then from the listbox checks to see which months need to be Locked or Unlocked. Additional: the "Type" indicates percentages from the Users File.
E.g. Type 1-3 type 1 = 100% in cell c5 type 1 = 50% in cell c6
How to temporarily disable PowerPoint charts which are linked to Excel. The problem is, whenever I copy a slide and try to paste it elsewhere, Office attempts to update all of the links in the entire PowerPoint. Since the slide deck has so many links, this takes an awful lot of time to do. I don't want to break the links completely as I would lose any ability to keep them dynamic. I've checked all of the advanced options within PowerPoint, but cannot find any way to temporarily disable links from updating.
I have created a 'price list' database in ACCESS. Then in EXCEL I created a pivot table which retrieves data from one of the database queries (the query was saved as a .dqy file).
I emailed the file containing the pivot table to a colleague who is on the same server. He saved the excel file on he desktop & renamed it. When I update the databse file on a shared public drive on the server, he is able to 'refresh' his desktop file successfully !!
I am working on creating a medical master database. I have a master sheet with a huge number of columns. I have a couple of guys working with me, and they have their own sheets in the workbook.
So here is what I would like to do: anytime one of the guys enters data into his respective worksheet, I want the data to be copied over to the master sheet in a new entry.
The columns among the worksheets are different, and I would like the data to automatically sort in the appropriate column on the master sheet when it is copied.
I have attached a copy of the workbook.
I have included an example of what I would like to see. For example, if Charles puts in an entry in his worksheet, a new entry is created on the master sheet with the information from Charles' sheet sorted in the appropriate columns.
I have one issue with my protected worksheet. Some locked cell contents are linked to cell contents located in another sheet. When I double clicked on these cells, a warning window poped up but also opened the sheet in which the corresponding cell is located. This is quite annoying to have to go back to the former sheet. How can I prevent it ?
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 just realized that some of my comments on a worksheet are being cut off or not viewable. By Default the Comment is displayed to the Right of its cell. I have a Scroll Lock to prevent users from scrolling off the work area. Some of the comments are being displayed past this scroll area and the user is unable to read the comments as they are being cut off or being displayed beyond the scroll area.
Is there anyway to reposition or set the area that these comments are displayed? For Example, to the Left of the cell so that they are able to be viewed. The Workbook is Protected and the Cells with comments are locked so the user won't be able to click on the cell. I found 2 Codes that would work if the user could either click on the cell or if the comment always visible(they are not)
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) Dim rng As Range Dim cTop As Long Dim cWidth As Long Dim cmt As Comment Dim sh As Shape Application.DisplayCommentIndicator _ = xlCommentIndicatorOnly Set rng = ActiveWindow.VisibleRange cTop = rng.Top + rng.Height / 2 ................
In Excel 2007, I have a tables linked from Access 2007. I frequently delete and import a new set of data into Access, then refresh the Excel file. Most of the time this works, but I've noticed sometimes one column doesn't refresh (even though I can see it in Access). If I modify the field name in the Access query, then refresh the table in Excel the newly named field is added in the in the last column of the table with current data. The column that wasn't refreshing stays the same.
When I originally created the link in Excel, I added various columns with formulas, but do not edit the columns that are imported from Access.
i have a excel file which has a formatted pivot table which displays customers by country in row A 2 down to 36 with approx 36 customers in the values field i have volumes by alarms and tickets along the column labels it shows the previous 7 days with date and then the alarms and tickets in each row. My problem is i am trying to find the code or location where i can change the only bring back 7 days data to another value. i have searched all connection properties and definitions. I know there is a value somewhere that allows you to change this number to say from 7 days to 30 days. If you click on the column labels for date it shows the dates back 3+ years but it still if i tick more than 7 days only show 7 in the table.I have image if needed
Bar those who don't believe/celebrate in Christmas, Hope you all had a good Christmas and New Year celebrations.
I have two sets of data, lets call them 2013 and 2014. I have a Spreadsheet already set up in excel, but currently I just past this information into a tab in excel (which isn't ideal at all), and given the data is growing, is slowing down my excel spreadsheet a lot.
I have some experience with Access, SQL and queries.
What I have done thus far is to link my Access DB with Excel, run a query and paste the resulting table from the query into excel all using VBA (easy peasy).
The problem i have is that the table is still linked, and i do not want or need it to be linked. I know that there is a "Unlink" Option, which is not what i need, and also a "Convert to Range" option which is also not what i need, but closer. This got me thinking, is it possible to import the data into an array (all in VBA in excel from the query in the SQL) and then i can paste that information into my Excel spreadsheet, or is there a better method?
i have this code to run autofilter in protected sheet2, assigned to a check Box, but it gives me this Msg when i run the code by checking the check Box: File in use. The file is locked for editing by the (my name). However, when i excute the code by F5 in the VBE window, it works fine also when i excute the code from Worksheet_Activate , it works fine
Sub t() With Sheet2 . Protect "0", , , , userinterfaceonly:=True, Allowautofilter:=True .AutoFilterMode = False .Range("A5:DT5").AutoFilter End With End Sub
I'm trying to use VBA to automatically change the data displayed in an excel chart. To do this I count the number of items displayed on the chart using Chart.Seriescollection.Count. I then loop over the Chart.Seriescollection(x) and try to change the Chart.Seriescollection(x).Formula string to link to the cells I want.
Problem is that, sometimes, the cells the curve is currently linked to are empty. Such a curve does show up in the Count, but I can't access the .Formula, even though this can be done manually from within Excel.
I am wondering if there is a formula/macro/VBA that will find the last date entered in a column and fill that date in to a cell on a linked sheet.
example:
sheet ONE has columns C through S. (each customer has its own sheet) On this sheet, in column H the date of the last payment made is entered. This date of course changes as payments are made, so the row would change as well.
sheet TWO has columns C through O. (all customers on this one sheet) The rows on this sheet remain the same for each individual customer. I would like the last date entered on sheet ONE column H to be auto copied to sheet TWO column O.
Is there a way to have the last date entered on sheet ONE auto copy to Sheet TWO?
I am trying to create conditional formating of a cell based on the value of another cell whish is linked to another sheet. I an using the "The formula is =$AA$30=1" where the cell AA30 is the cell linked to the other sheet. the problem is I have to do thiss for approx 200 cells ie =$AA$30=1, =$AB$30=1, =$AA$31=1, =$AB$31=1 --- =$AZ$42=1. Do I have to enter the formulea for each cell or is there a way to automate this?
I have a spreadsheet which is linked to other spreadsheets. When I use "find and replace" on this spreadsheet, it causes one of my linked cells to move down one row. Why does it do this? This particular cell has nothing to do with the "find and replace" option.
I have no idea how to stop this from moving this cell down.
I've have a spreadsheet where 4 cells are linked to another workbook via a vlookup. the problem i have is that a lot of users can update this external book, or it can be saved as a seperate spreadsheet somewhere else on the network. If it was up2 me i would have them only update the one sheet, but as it stands its not. So what i want to be able to do is put some code onto a button on the sheet, from here i want the: Application. GetOpenFileName
method to open....but from here i want them to be able to pick the cells where the data is situated. Any clues..... i can get as far as them selecting a workbook. Do you think i will need to create another userform?? Maybe RefEdit? I'm not sure.
I have a user form with four pages. I would like to disable pages 2 and 3 if the checkbox on page one is cheked. I know the pages have a property called "Enabled" but i can't figure out how to code this.
The user form is called frmAnvilProgNew The pages are called Page1, Page2, Page3, and Page4 The checkbox is called Check1
see the attached workbook. Is this possible? Should I be using tabs instead of pages?
I have these codes in place in my excel file, there is nothing wrong with them at all. Here is the the problem : My superior runs the macros in place in the file almost daily, and when he is done he then closes it and all is well. The macros does things to other files so they are changed in a way that the supervisors like them. I avoided putting macros in these individual files, because of the attempt to make it as simplistic as possible without them being able to affect overall file. The problem happens when he (my superior) accidently makes a change in the primary sheet in the workbook with all the macros, it affects alot of my formulas and macros that are already in place. Within this workbook, it keeps a log of things from the other files results, so I have to have a record of it in the workbook, hence having a save event in place.
The Question: Is it possible to create a macro button, that will allow him to disable the codes below, so that he can close it and open again, so that it doesn't show any of the errors that happens by accident and try to close it again so there is no errors? Basically, I am asking what is the code for this, and where would I place it in.
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean) Dim mylogoff Set mylogoff = Sheet1. Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Offset(0, 1) mylogoff.FormulaR1C1 = "=NOW()" mylogoff.Copy mylogoff.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _ :=False, Transpose:=False Application.CutCopyMode = Fals mylogoff.Offset(0, 1).FormulaR1C1 = "=RC[-1]-RC[-2]" Application.DisplayAlerts = False Sheets("Start Here").Select ThisWorkbook.Save ThisWorkbook.Close End Sub......................
I have a workbook that has a macro that needs to run before it is closed. I have a button on my sheet that runs that macro and then closes the sheet. Is there a way that I can disable the "X" at the top right hand of the workbook and force the user to close the workbook via my button?
I am putting together a register of information and it is broken up over a number of sheets i.e. LOG1, LOG2 etc.
I have a master sheet in which I want information to automatically populate based on whether a certain column has the words yes or no.
Ie Column I in LOG1 or LOG2 etc can either be yes or no. Is there a way to populate the Master sheet only with the information of a row in which column I is yes?
I know it would have to be a formula in the master sheet which checks all the sheets and then somehow populates the master sheet downwards if anything is yes but then removes it once that yes becomes a no....
I have a userform (Login), which allows you to login by entering your username, password and by selecting your role.
When you enter the username, password and role and click on submit, it shows another userform (Activities).
Now what I want is, when i enter username, password and select the role as team manager and click on submit, it should show the userform - "Manager_Login". For all other roles, it should show the userform - "Activities".
The usernames, passwords and roles are on the sheet - "User Access".
I am creating a spreadsheet for work - I have a column that is all the formulas projected sales minus actual sales.
I need to lock this column so that no one BUT MYSELF can change the codes. In other words "idiot proof" the worksheet. there are only 18 sections that I want anyone else to be able to type in.
is there a way to do this without adding users? half the ppl have personal emails and half have company emails.
