Excel 2007 :: Can't Edit Cell - Unprotected Button On Changes Group Tab Grayed Out?
Jul 28, 2014
I'm trying to change a cell in a 2007 workbook but I'm getting this message:
"the cell or chart that you are trying to change is protected and therefore read only. To modify a protected cell or chart first remove the protection using the unprotect sheet command (review tab, changes group) you may be prompted for a password."
However, the unprotect button on the changes group tab is greyed out (the protect button is available though). The workbook isn't password protected and I'm not being asked for a password. What am I missing?

I have excel 2007 and I want to record a macro. I have enabled all macros via the Trust Center settings and have even saved the current workbook (created from scratch in 2007) to a macro-enabled version.
But when I click on the 'developer' toolbar, 'record macro' is grayed out.

I'm using 2010. When I highlight rows or columns and select Group, the show (+) / hide (-) buttons would appear in the next to or above the header rows/columns.
The file I am working on is not showing these buttons. If I go to the Data tab & click "hide detail" or "show detail", it will hide my grouping if I'm in one of the cells of the grouping.
I can easily hide/unhide, but would rather group & click rather than highlight rows/columns.

Using excel 2003, Workbook has several sheets, all sheets are protected workbook is not. I have my cells containing formulas locked, I have unlocked the other cells that require input of various data. When the user goes to type in a "unlocked" cell, (to over write the now obsolete data) it will not allow the user to delete the data, the curser remains a cross and the formula bar or the cell itself will now allow any changes.
I have double checked that the cells are unlocked. I can enter data after the last entry in the unlocked row and or column, but I want to be able to "cut or delete the data that is no longer need and begin entering data from the beginning cell of choice. I want to copy this "old" data to an archive sheet, but it will now allow me to select it.
Example: I have 6 columns starting, (a to f) the formulas are in columns e and f and start at row 4 These columns are locked and hidden. Columns a,b,c and d are unlocked for user input. All data is started from A5 which I want it to start from each time the old data is deleted and new data entered. If I place my curser on any of the cells in the e and f rows, the cursor remains a cross which is what I expect it to do, but columns a to d are doing the same thing, they are acting as if they are locked OR atleast those cells in the a to d areas which have existing data, as I can enter below.

I have a stripped down data source for debugging purposes. I only have 4 rows of data for test purposes. The dates are formatted as dates.
When I create the pivot table the dates become my column values. When I select the first date in the pivot table the Group By Field menu option is grayed out. I tried setting a tabular format but didn't work.

I am using Excel 2007 with a WIN XP OS…. My objective is to color code each cell in Column F within each sub-group based on the following instructions:
1) Column F contains a percentage…. Each sub-group in Column F totals 100%.... Each sub-group is separated as shown on the enclosed sample.
2) Starting with the highest percentage, followed by the next highest, (etc.), I want to sum each subsequent cell until reaching a target threshold (total sum) of 62%.... All cells in this grouping to be highlighted “yellow”.
3) Once the 62% target threshold is reached, the very next highest subsequent cell percentage is highlighted “light olive”…. If there is a tie, the lower number shown in Column E serves as the tie-breaker.
4) All remaining cells within the sub-group are highlighted “light brown” including those denoted by 0%.
5) Finally, if the cell is blank and absent of a % call out, then no highlight is required.
I process a daily spreadsheet having typically in excess of 1000 rows and in turn, I’m looking for a method to automate the color coding….

Windows 7, Excel 2007. a formula to find the next lowest sequential number within a group.
Here's an example data set, which represents transactions by date and category:
Col A is a user entered Date which will not be in chronological order (unfortunately a sort is not an option)Col B is a user entered CategoryCol C is a formula that gives the chronological sort order based on the date.
The formula in C2:C9 is =COUNT($A$2:$A$9)-(RANK(A2,$A$2:$A$9)+COUNTIF($A$2:A2,A2)-1)+1Col D is a formula to determine if the row is the first chronological transaction within the Category
The array formula in D2:D9 is =IF(MIN(IF($B$2:$B$9=B2,$C$2:$C$9))=C2,"Y","")
This might not be a necessary column, but can be used as a helperCol E is where I would like a formula to give the next lowest value in Col C for the Category in Col B (the order number in Col C for the previous transaction within the same category).
I have entered in the values that the formula should return in Col E in the table below
A
B
C
D
E
[Code]...
If the current line is the first transaction of the category, the formula should return the value in Col C for that line (so E2 would equal the value in C2, which is 2).
So the first part of the formula could be straightforward, using the helper column:
=IF(D2="Y",C2,
Here's the tricky part: If it's not the first occurrence of the category, then it should return the value of Col C for previous transaction (or the next lowest number in Col C that is within the same category).
E3 would return 4, since the previous transaction for Category A was line 9
C3 = 6, and of all the values of Col C for Category A (2, 4, 6, 8), 4 is the next lowestE4 would return 6, since the previous transaction for Category A was line 3 C4 = 8, and of all the values of Col C for Category A (2, 4, 6, 8), 6 is the next lowestE5 would return 1, since it is the first transaction in Category BE6 would return 1, since the previous transaction for Category B was line 5 C6 = 5, and of all the values of Col C for Catebory B (1, 5, 7), 1 is the next lowestEtc.
I'm thinking I need an array formula to find the minimum value within the category, where that value is less than the value of Col C in the current line. Just not sure how to write that...

How to use conditional formatting in Excel 2007 (). I'm creating a spreadsheet to track my group's timeline for completing strategy meetings with our customers. When we have a meeting, I will enter the date of that meeting in a specific cell. In a successive column(s), I'd like for a cell(s) to turn a specific color based on the length of time from the last meeting (or if there is no date for a meeting entered - i.e. no initial meeting has been set).

I put the "Insert new equation" button on my "Quick Access Toolbar" but it is grayed-out, as in, unavailable. The weird thing is, I also have a "Insert Equation" button on the same toolbar, clicking that opens a small menu of ready stored equations and at the bottom there is another "Insert new equation" button, that is also grayed out. However simply clicking the "Insert Equation" icon puts allows me to insert a new equation, as it should be. The same is true for the "Insert Equation" button in the "Insert" tab.
I am working on a new excel file, i.e. it is a .xlsx file with only one sheet. It worked for me before but I did a windows reinstall and now it doesn't.
Also while on that subject in Word 2010 you can put a "Insert Symbol" button on the "Quick Access Toolbar" which, when clicked, opens a small menu of recently used symbols, while its Excel counterpart directly opens the entire Symbol catalog. Any way to put a button on the Excel "Quick Access Toolbar" that behaves like its Word 2010 sibling?

I'm trying to work with a user form with a customized SUM button.
What I want is that the user can select a range and then press SUM and it will sum (and store) the range and then the user can click another button to place the sum in any other cell.
Here is the code I have on the SUM button but it fails
Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
MsgBox (Application.Sum(ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Selected))
End Sub
I'm using a userform1.show vbmodeless so the user can click off the form. I tested it being able to work cross workbooks and sheets and I could see where it was returning the activeworkbook/worksheet but I don't understand the range/selected part.

My excel version is 2007 and i am on WIN7 64bit
I have a workbook with VBA which was working fine earlier. Lately i have been getting
"Runtime error 1004" Select method of button class failed.
I am adding buttons dynamically in a loop in a sheet and what surprise me is , i go to debug mode when error pops up and it points to below line
MySheet.Buttons.Add(ActiveCell.Left - 5, 25, 20).Select
but my code is running in a loop and i can see that atleast 20 buttons were added and it fails to select when it try to add this iteration. It is completely confusing me.
My entire below code is in a loop
maWrk.Cells(xIt1, yIt2).Select
mySheet.Buttons.Add(ActiveCell.Left - 5, 25, 20).Select
Selection.OnAction = "callMe"
[Code].....
I also notice that when it fails, on select method .. the button was actually added to the sheet with caption/name as "Button 65536" but then fails to select it. What makes the select to fail after adding the button? Could there be anything special with Button 65536?
Is there any better way to code the adding button and setting action and name for excel 2007?
note before entering the loop i am deleting all the shapes with myShape.Delete which name matches "btRun"

I have a file that contains detailed sales information for each sales person. It typically contains over 20k records and the managers find it difficult to look up their sales people.
Currently it is subtotaled for each sales person but there are about 450 sales people across the country and it's not easy to use.
I have seen other Excel files that use buttons and I am wondering if this might be the solution to this issue. In other words, can I create a button where the managers can just click it, key in their sales person's name and get at the records easier? If so, how does that work? How I could make this file more user friendly.

I want to be able to run a macro that will export some of the data from a worksheet called Generated Report into another worksheet called Matrix. The data will be taken Generated REport and grouped into sections of the worksheet. These sections will be defined by the BRID value.
The Data that i want to export will be from the first 5 columns within the Generated Report(note there are other columns which data is not required from).
The following columns will be exported from Generated Report -
BRID,Requirement, Bug Description, Bug ID and Alt Bug ID.
BRIDRequirement Bug DescriptionBUG ID Alt Bug ID
PQ115 PQ115-Login Bug Description text xihllloloj43712 123
PQ116PQ116-Landing Bug Description text ghghghgoot 43713 126
For Matrix
The data will be imported into Matrix worksheet into the following columns as part of the row headings
- Requirement, Description, Bug ID and VF Bug ID.There will also be other columns (outlined below) which i will use to manually enter data
The data will be grouped and imported into the relevant section by its BRID eg PQ115, PQ116 etc.
I want each section (marked by BRID number)to be separated by row headings.
These row headings are to be generated after populating all data within each BRID number.
When the data has been populated in each row there is a column called 'Status' which contains drop down list boxes which can be assigned.
The default status will be set to 'To Do'. The complete row headings are displayed with Output from Generated Report underneath
BRID Priority Requirment Description BugID Alt Bug ID PC UpdateNotes Actual Result Type of DEfect Test Status Tested by
PQ115 PQ115-Login Bug Description text xihllloloj43712 123 To Do
BRID Priority Requirment Description BugID Alt Bug ID QC UpdateNotes Actual Result Type of DEfect Test Status Tested by
PQ116 PQ116-Landing Bug Description text ghghghgoot43713 126 To Do
So far the macro that i have been using allows me to locate the data for each specific BRID in Generated Report and copy into the corresponding BRID section within the Matrix. I have to repeat this step for each new BRID and i want to be able to whole automate this process.

We just upgraded to Excel 2007 from Excel 2000 and have run into a challenge relating to labeling a form command button. It appears that the length of text for a command button label has been shortened to 31 characters when setting the name using VBA. No such limitation shows up when I manually create such a button.
Following is the code that used to work to create the button and label in VBA (Excel 2000):
VB:
ActiveSheet.Buttons.Add(2.25, 13.5, 443.25, 17.25).Select
Selection.OnAction = "PatientSelectedButton"
Selection.Name = "CheckFormButton"
[Code] .....
If I change the string I want to use for the label to 32 characters, or less, this code works (Excel 2007).
VB:
ActiveSheet.Buttons.Add(2.25, 13.5, 443.25, 17.25).Select
Selection.OnAction = "PatientSelectedButton"
Selection.Name = "CheckFormButton"
[Code] ....
I have to admit that this is the last item that I thought would break!

I've been trying to research how to do this for a while now and still can't figure it out. My impression is that this is fairly straightforward in Excel 2010 since the menus and ribbons are easily customizable but not so in Excel 2007.
So far I can get macro shown as a button in the Quick Access Toolbar. But the issue is that I can't organize them or customize the icons.
Is there an accepted practice for this?

I am using the following piece of VBA code in Excel 2007 to automatically generate an email when a button is pushed:
Sub SendEMail()
Dim Email As String, Subj As String
Dim Msg As String, URL As String
Dim r As Integer, x As Double
r = ActiveCell.Row
'Get the email address
Email = Cells(r, 3)
[Code] .....
The button to launch this code sits in cell AK7. What I would like to do is have the macro copy the email address present in cell E7 into the email address section of my created email. In addition I would like the reference provided in cell AJ7 to appear in the Message Subject part of the generated email in the format " RCS Reference contents of cell AJ7".

Excel 2007 I have a button that will export the worksheet to pdf and save it as Acrobat requires. I have a network folder set up and it saves the file with the name that I have programed in the macro. I would like to have the file name set up to be what is in cell C3 then a space and the specific words.
For example, if C3 contains "123456" I want the file to be named "123456_Warranty Calculator"
I will end up using this in several worksheets which will have a different name as part of the file name (based on the worksheet name).
I would also like to have the last part of the file name be the worksheet name. ie, "Warranty Refund", "PDR Refune", etc.
I will have several users that will be using the workbook and possible saving at the same time and want each person to be able to find the one they saved instead of it being overwritten.

I have a workbook with two worksheets, "Main" and "Control".
Both of them are with hidden tabs (unchecked "show sheet tabs").
On worksheet "Main" I have command button which opens worksheet "Control".
The assigned makro is: Sheets("Control").Select
The problem is: when I open "Control" and close after that the workbook, the next time when I open the workbook "Control" pops-up instead of "Main" even though I do not save it.
1. I need macro on "Main" which will allow me to open "Control".
2. Regardless I "Save" or "Don't Save" "Control" when selected and workbook is closed, to open the workbook always displaying worksheet "Main".
I use Excel 2007 (at home) & 2010 (at office).
