Drop Down Click To Unprotect Worksheet
Sep 4, 2007
I have a worksheet that is initially protected when a user views it. Certain cells are unlocked.
I have 46 drop down lists on the worksheet, of which none are locked so the users can access them for selections.
I want to unprotect the sheet when ANY of the dropdowns are clicked on.
For each change event I have the following
Sub DropDown34_Change()
Application.EnableEvents = False
ActiveSheet.Unprotect
However I still get the microsoft error screen showing up telling me that the cell is protected BEFORE it unprotects it and allows me to make changes.

I am working on a worksheet that has been protected off and on. I unprotected this AM, but XL will not allow changes and instructs to unprotect the WS, but it is already unprotected. The WB is not protected and never was. I am at a loss as to how to work around this problem.

I have a file that needs to be locked down so that the end user does not have the ability to enter data where they shouldn't. The end users are very Excel illiterate, and have proven that I need to have high security in place. Here is my current VBA code - the purpose of which is to hide/unhide rows depending on data entries. (Disclaimer: this code may not be pretty as I am a VBA rookie, and I've begged borrowed and stolen from about 10 other threads on this board to get where I am, and yes it works).
Code:
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address(False, False) = "C7" Then Call Changeto1
If Not Intersect(Range("c9"), Target) Is Nothing Then
Rows("15:44").EntireRow.Hidden = True
Rows("15:" & Range("c9").Value + 14).EntireRow.Hidden = False
End If
[Code]...
The question is now....how can I unprotect the sheet so that this code works without allowing them to enter data where they shouldn't. I've been at this for days already.

Im currently trying to create a macro to protect and Unprotect a sheet.
I have gotten it to work fine with protecting and unprotecting the worksheet in question.
The only problem i have is if the incorrect password is entered when trying to unprotect the worksheet. I get a Error 1004 telling me the password is incorrect and to ether Debug or End the macro.
My question is. Is there any way i can stop this and instead show a message saying to reenter password ?
Current code i have is (please note that the if Err 1004 doesnt work as yet) :-
Private Sub TogAuditSheet_Click()
Dim strPassword As String
Dim strPasswordcheck As String
If TogAuditSheet.Value = True Then
strPassword = InputBox("Enter the password to Protect & Hide the Audit Findings Workheet")
Worksheets("Audit Findings").Protect Password:=strPassword, Scenarios:=True
TogAuditSheet.Caption = "Audit Findings Hidden. Click to UnProtect"
Sheets("Audit Findings").Visible = False
Else

I am wondering if it is possible to drag & drop, via left-click, the data in a cell but WITHOUT affecting it's reference -- i.e., like "Copy here as values only".

I've written a little VBScript that generates several hundred Excel 2013 worksheets. In order to protect the users from themselves I protected certain cells. Everything works as expected, except when I discovered that the password I used to protect the worksheet doesn't work to unprotect it. If it matters, I'm not trying to unprotect programmatically, just opening Excel and going that route.
Here's a snippet of my code:
objWS.protect Password="abc123"

I have created a drop down list but notice that the button (the arrow in the square) does not show up unless I click on the cell. Is there a way to show the button at all times so the user knows a drop down list is available?

I have been really trying to get this sorted myself and I can get it to work with one exception. I can't get the sheet to lock with a password. It locks, but if I try to unlock it again, it does so without prompting me to enter a password.
Essentially I am wanting to unprotect two sheets, unlock the cells that were previously locked (so users couldn't enter data in them when the sheet is protected), then reapply the same password to protect the sheet, but now they will be able to enter data in the unlocked range of cells).
The second macro is to reverse the changes made in the first and 're-lock' the unlocked cells) (and again apply the same password to the sheet).
this is the code I have used.
Sub PART_YEAR()
Sheets("2012 Calculator 1 week").Select
ActiveSheet.Unprotect "taado"
Range("D20:D23").Select
Selection.Locked = False
Selection.FormulaHidden = False
Sheets("2012 Calculator 2 week").Select
[Code]...
I am assuming I have superfluous code in there, in addition to my mistake with the reapplication of the password.

Running into this issue of "transworksheet macros"
I have a master "update" commandbutton on sheet 1. I have two sub "update" buttons on sheet 2 and 3 respectively.
What I would like to do is have the user click the master button, that would "click" the two sub buttons so they run their respective macros on their respective worksheets (within the same worksheet.
I have tried pasting the macro code in the master button, telling it to select the sub worksheet and then run the macro, but the marco runs itself on the master worksheet instead.

protected back again after Macro has been executed?

Testing my worksheet, I found that if I double click on any cell that is not locked, the worksheet becomes unprotected. I need to prevent this from happening. I tried the following code, but it didn't work.

I am encountering is that with my knowledge I can only get one range to work on the worksheet_before doubleclick function and thats the sort range.
I need several different ranges with each range giving a target value uinique to that range.

This problem started after a lot of development of various macros in a moderate sized workbook.
I've gone back to various stages of development and am unable to find what is causing this one worksheet tab to jump to the beginning of the cue (to the left) when i first click on that tab.
Thought the most likely culprit was a worksheet change macro, but even after deleting that, the behaviour persisted.

I'm trying to do is create a link so that if you double click on a cell in a range (Sheet1!A3:A100) it will copy the value (ie Sheet1!A6) and paste it to the next sheet in a fixed cell (sheet2!B2).
The reason is I want to use the next sheet to do Vlookups (or may just do it in a macro) to fill in a template.

My program(which is an add-in, or will be when I've finished writing it) creates a new worksheet called "Groups Summary" I would like this sheet to be locked so that the user can not modify anything on it. I would also like that if they double click a cell this will launch a userform if based on certain conditions.
I believe this code would have to go in the worksheet itself, so the question is how do I get the macro to enter code into a worksheet that it creates?
Is there a way to write it in a standard module and then automatically copy it when the worksheet is created?

I am working on a product quote pricing worksheet. I have several products and on my one worksheet I have about 5 different columns with drop down boxes with several different choices. I want to know if there is a way to select something from the drop down list and once something is chosen information on that particular product can populate a cell on another worksheet.

I am trying to do is trigger an event when a cell changes, and this cell is updated via a linked drop-down box.
The issue is that the code seems to work fine (in about 10 seconds or less) if a manual calculation is entered into the sheet - but when it's done via the drop-down box, it takes about 3 minutes to complete the macro.

I wanted to create a drop down list where after I make my selection, it will automatically take me to the cell range (same worksheet) assigned to each member in the drop down list.
(E.g. If I select "Accounting" from the drop down menu it will automatically take me to cell A94 - See attachement)
Furthermore, could it be possible that after my selection in the drop down menu, only the specific range (corresponding to my selection) will show up and the rest of rows will just hide?

When creating a drop-down list using Validation, is there any way to make the source a different worksheet in the workbook? Right now when I click on Source and select my list, it will not allow me to go to another worksheet.
If I manually enter a reference to cells in another worksheet, such as 'PCP'!$A$2:$A$250 it only shows that cited reference, not the actual list.

I currently have a huge data sheet with multiple columns of information. It contains a list of projects organized by columns with information pertaining to each project. I've named this worksheet data.
On another sheet I've named Present, I'm trying to find a way to reference a single project at a time using a drop down list. The Present Sheet has a list of characteristics fields that need to be filled with information from "data" worksheet. I want the characteristics to change whenever I choose another project name from the drop down list.

Is there a way to have a drop down or some sort of input cell that would change the look and format of the entire worksheet? Not sure how to pose the question?? For example.
What I'm working on is a departmental forecast sheet.
I want my department heads to be able to all look at the same excel file, then be able to input or select their department from a drop down. Once the department is selected that would call for excel to bring up the forecast for their specific department (**Each departments sheet is a little different).
