I am trying help protect a project from all my colleagues that have a version of password breaker that is actually an add-in. I have already managed to disable or grey-out all of the other commandbar options that I don't want them to have access to during their use of the model but can't figure out how to disallow them from accessing the "Add-ins" option from the "Tools" menu. I can, of course, disable the entire tools menu but don't want to do that yet.
Is there a way to disallow users from using fromulas in a spreadsheet? I have an issue in which users are using formulas to concat data as a shortcut to typing in data but they are constantly referencing the incorrect cells.
So I have this worksheet full of formulas that I do not want users to accidentally delete. Now, I know I can use the standard "Protect Sheet" option to not trigger any accidental changes but I would like an additional safety check (since management users will have access to unlock the sheet) via a macro to prompt the user with a message box (with Yes / No options) which essentially asks the user if they are sure they want to delete a cell if the "Delete" button is chosen? If the answer is No, nothing will happen. But if the answer is Yes, it will delete the contents in the cell.
x = InputBox("Please Enter the Loan Amount:") If x < 0 Then MsgBox ("please enter a loan amount greater than 0.") but then how do I bring up the input box again until it is filled in correctly?
I tried Do until a few times but made a mess of it, I also need to disallow alphabetic and symbol characters.
The below piece of code is from a macro that creates a summary sheet based upon the name of the worksheet. My problem is as follows: I have another macro which copies the summary sheet and renames it in the format dd-mm-yy and I want to exclude this from the macro that constructs the summary sheet. How do I modify line 4 to capture the exclusion of all sheets with format ##-##-##? Note: The current line is my poor attempt at doing it.
If (A$ = "Template") Then Goto 10 If (A$ = "Create New Sheet") Then Goto 10 If (A$ = "Summary") Then Goto 10 If (A$ = Like "00-00-00") Then Goto 10
I am Generating Excel file with Macro using my asp.net (c#) application.
I am able to generate Excel file in development environment, but in Production it gives following error: "Programmatic access to Visual Basic Project is not trusted Line: Microsoft Office Excel"
I did googling a bit and found that I have to open Excel file physically make few security related changes in macro as below.
1. Open the Office application in question. On the Tools menu, click Macro, and then click Security to open the Macro Security dialog box. 2. On the Trusted Sources tab, click to select the Trust access to Visual Basic Project check box to turn on access. 3. Click OK to apply the setting. You may need to restart the application for the code to run properly if you automate from a Component Object Model (COM) add-in or template.
Can i do above changes at runtime (using some code)?
I am using Data Validation on some fields to create a drop down list from a named range! These fields however allow you to enter values that are not in the list.
Is there a way to make the cell have to be an entry from the data validation list?
I have an Excel file ( named "Classes.xsl"), that has a worksheet (named "RawData") that is layed out something like:
Name Dept Class John 0547 Class 1 Jane 0368 Class 1 Jim 0368 Class 2 Sue 1235 Class 2
I am trying to get an Access-Like report without utilizing Access. Is there a way to generate a report similar to below using Excel as the data source (could be mail merge, perhaps a macro with a printout) I am not sure which way to try and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction...and possibly provide an example.
Class EnrollmentClass 1John 0547 Jane 0368Class 2Jim 0368 Sue 1235
I need a front worksheet with either buttons or tick boxes that will list different options for a machine
Once a tick or push button is activated a hidden block of text related to that specific tick box needs to be selected and placed onto a final print out sheet (allocation)
when futher boxes have been ticked I would like all the information blocks to build up on the final print out sheet.
I'm trying to build a query which matches two tables which say has a number like A#### , I want the query to give me the A number's which do not belong in the second table but which do in the first table. i believe i need an SQL query to do this?
The size of the table I'm importing will change, so i would like for the code to not matter on size. Also its, gonna be large too. The sheet will always be the same and the column headers will match for excel and access.
I need to compare data on a spreadsheet to data that resides in SQL database. I have never done this before so before I start I wanted to ask a general question, what is the cleanest, simplest, way to go about this. I read that ADO is a good way to access SQL. I understand that ADO is one of the main components of MS universal data access specifications so it sounds like the right approach (and that ADO is replacing DAO).
In terms of application, all I want to do for now is pull data from SQL and write it to a worksheet in the Excel workbook. Other macro's will then operate on this data. Later I will want to write data back to SQL but I want to focus on the "get" part first. Are the statements SELECT; INSERT; UPDATE; DELETE examples of ADO coding?
Conceptually, the SQL team provide nightly tables of data; ADO retrieves some of that data by selecting it; The selected data is written to a worksheet within the workbook. Is this a good approach?
I want to create a log of everyone who opens a particular workbook. I'm using Excel 2003. I found this macro, and created a worksheet called "Log", but I've opened the workbook several times and nothing appears on the Log sheet.
For sales tax reporting we need to know the state, city, county district amounts. This would be simple if we could just sort by county/city, however we cannot because the state tax piece only only shows the word "UTAH" it does not give a city or county name. So we must sort by invoice #. This would be ok if we only had a few invoices in each city such as Salt Lake but we have have 40 or 50 invoice numbers in salt lake.
I need to find a way to keep all of the tax pieces that belong together, and subtotal by city/county. I thought if I had a formula that could change the state name "UTAH" to reflect the city for that invoice. This is the case for all states. Each state is 10,000 or more lines. I need to somehow grouping the information I need. I used the pivot table approach. However, since I must sort by invoice I still have 10,000 lines. I want to sort by invoice to get all the pieces then sort by county city. Any ideas of how I can do this? something in Access perhaps? a formual in excel perhaps?
i have an access database and is using excel to get the required data from the access database. I am basing on department to filter out the required data into excel. Below is the VBA code i use
deptClause = Worksheets("Records").range("C1").Value If Not deptClause = "All" Or deptClause = "" Then requestClause = " WHERE Department='" & deptClause & "'" End If
Queryline = "Select * from FailureQuery" & requestClause
the problem is i got one selection "All" in worksheet "Records" in cell "C1" and i cannot get this function to display all the data from the access. however when i choose a particular department it will show fine.
There are many examples and aspects to compare these 2 products but I just want to point one little difference which is quite crucial and interesting.
Generally if you use small amount of data - 1 Worksheet / 5000 rows / 20 columns you can use Excel without bothering about the execution time, queries and work fast and convenient with it.
The point on Excel is that in 1 Column/Row you can differently Format the data(cells). For example - format as Number or Hour the cells in Column B depending on the data in other columns. That saves you from making 2 Columns - one for Numbers and another one for Hours. This helps you to save 1 of the columns when the data structure in other column is the same.
In Access (and generally all SQL DBs) this is not possible.
I have the following code set up and every works except for PaperSize and Margins. Is there a standard VBA code reference available somewhere that addresses Access to Excel operations? Thanks
I have an Excel spreadsheet that I have developed into an over the top flight calculator/scheduling tool. I am using Excel because developing this prduct into a stand-alone program would be absolutely murder to get approved for use on my network.
Since Excel and Access has already been approved, I began coding this project there.
Now that my calculator functions are nearly complete, I am beginning to develop a database of airfields and other misc. flight data that I and others on my network can see and manipulate. To make my calculator funtion at 100% effectiveness, I will need to use VBA to open the Access DB and pull out specific data. I will also need it to open and display some Access pop-up forms that I have just developed. Does anyone know what code I would use for excel to display and retrieve Access' information?
I was wondering if there was any code that would 'lookup' a value in a MS Access database in the same way that a Vlookup formula looks up values in tables in Excel.
Even better, if there was a fuction already written to do this.
I would really like to be able to have a function in a workbook that can run methods (for example Show or Hide) on a UserForm inside an add-in like this:
Public Sub Test_Addin() frmTest.Show False End Sub
where frmTest is a UserForm inside the addin. After the add-in has been added as a reference, I am able to access all of its functions/subs in this way. When I try to access a form inside the add-in from outside the add-in, I simply get an object not defined error. Looking more closely, if I type in "eRFTEAddIn." (which is the name of the add-in) and look at the possible options, the forms do not show up...although the modules and sheets do.
I have created few excel files from "X" login account and when i try to open it from the "Y" login account, it opens it in the read only mode. do you know how to access it from Y account in the edit mode or the write mode.
I have a userform that employees use to enter production data every day. Originally I had this storing the data in excel, but now I would like it to put the data in tables in access.
Here is some code I am trying, but it's giving me an error: "Run-time Error '3251' Current Recordset does not support updating. This may be a limitation of the provider, or of the selected locktype."
VB: ' exports data from the active worksheet to a table in an Access database ' this procedure must be edited before use Dim cnt As New ADODB.Connection
I have dictionary defined as series of keys and let's say two values:
name1,val1A,val1B name2,val2A,val2B ...and so on
I would like to define named range from "name" column allowing user to select desired name from combo on another sheet. This is easy
But after that I would like to get val1 and val2 for selected name and show them with some calculation; For example to construct two columns like this: <nameX_selected_from_combo>, (<val1X>+<val2X>)/2
All the problem is how to select values from the same row as name selected in range.
I need to know that how can we share excel workbook. Is it possible over LAN? Also how many users can access the shared workbook. If 50 users are accessing shared workbook and each one working on different workbook. Is this scenario feasible? Will there be any issue if 50 users working on 50 different worksheets of same workbook?
I was trying to move data from excel to access database in VBA. not sure if this has been done before.
What i have got at the moment is that there are some data in excel spreadsheet that i can dump into the table in the access database. My problem here is i need to be able to open the database first, set up connection, and then perform SQL insert query command.
So in the worksheet, i have a button with the following codes in it so far i could just manage to open the database as follows
I'm currently working on something that requires me to use an access database with an excel userform.
I have a team of around 50 people who will be making outbound phone calls and the data for these calls is stored on an access db. The people calling don't have MS Access so I've created a userform for these guys in Excel, which they have on their computers, and I want them to be able to click the button "Get Next" on the form and up pops the next customers information to call.
I have a userform with some text boxes where I want the info to appear on click.
I have customers name, their mobile handset type which the ordered recently and their phone number.
So I've started off with the following which seems OK:
[Code] .......
What to use next.......DLookup didn't quite work......
I'm also wondering if I'd need something to send to access to basically say that customer 001 has been pulled through already and to move onto the next because there will be 50 people using this (max) at one time.
