Excel 2010 :: Hiding And Locking Columns And Formulas Together Via Passwords?
Mar 8, 2014
Is there a way in Excel 2010 that the administrator of a excel document can not only hide some columns but lock the columns by some kind of password so it remains hidden? I know user can hide/unhide columns but can some columns be hiddens and locked with passwords?
Secondly can formulas like IF and vlookups statements be hidden and locked with some kind of password?
In maybe via VBA or by some other means, is this possible?
The end user should only be able to type and select certain cells only.

I have an excel file with three worksheets in it. I can happily protect each sheet with a different password but what i want to be able to do is the following:
a. have a global administrator password for all the sheets - so i assume set the same password to protect the whole sheet
b. have individual passwords that only allow the user to insert rows and change data within restricted columns, i.e. can only edit columns A:Z and cannot manipulate any formulas within that range A:Z
I have excel 2010 if that makes any difference.

I am currently working on a workbook for work. It is a basic input output sheet. I have data from work that i copy and paste into sheet 1 and I have it arranged into sheet 2.
I am using windows 7 with Excel 2010, though needs to be compatible with 2007 using XP.
What I am trying to implement. I would have a drop down box in cell AD-4 with the current list
Select
Week 1
Week 2
Week 3
Week 4
What I want to implement is a code that if I select "week 1" from drop down then it will hide the entire row if data in column B = week 2, week 3, week 4, week 6
also
If week 2 is selected then hide entire row if column b = week 3 , week 4, week 5
so basically hide the weeks that are after the current selected week.
In addition to this I would also like to hide the entire row, regardless of drop down selection if data from J, K and O all = 0 or (blank).
(the first row is the current Row labels, I have a lot of current hidden columns).
A
B
J
K
O
Supervisor Name
Agent Name
Needs Complete
Completed w/o Turn in
Needs Turn In

I am using a pivot table in excel 2010. 15 columns (fixed) and plenty of dive downs for rows.
I am trying to 'hide' all of the rows containing values less than 10. If it is easier we can start with hiding values of zero and go from there.
It is key to hide the rows as within the dive downs the rows within the pivot are to many to sort through. If there is a way to do this using the grand total columns for each row that would work as well. Just to be clear I need to hide the entire row not just report the empty cells as zeros. If any further detail is needed feel free to ask.
For example: If value of column O "Grand Total" = 0 'hide rows with value 0' ELSE 'display rows with value greater than 0'

In the coming months the company i work for will be transferring from Excel 2003 to Excel 2010 (i know, a little late......) and now i am testing some things at home.
We deliver lots of Excel reports to our clients where we are using Pivot tables. In excel 2003 we where able to hide items from the dropdowns using properties - hide items but when i now open an excel 2003 file in excel 2010 and want to filter the pivot table to (let's say) another month i see all my hidden items.
Is there an option in excel 2010 to hide items like i could do in 2003? (either regular option or VBA)

Is there a way in Excel (2010) to lock data from being entered into cells based on the value in another cell? Here is an example:
Row 4 contains dates from 2015-2030 as a header starting at column C (C4 and on) that represents years of revenue. Column B contains dates as well, this date can be any year but this becomes the driver for the data input in columns C through X. Column B contains the "Delivery Date"
Data is input in Columns C and so forth. The issue becomes that let's say that the date in C4 is 2016 and this is the beginning year. Obviously there should be no inputs for 2015 (C5) and the data should start to be input for this year at 2016 (C6). Often people just begin filling in the first available year not looking at what the year actually is.
Is there a way to add a formula or some logic/protection to prevent inputs in previous rows based on the values in column B? So if the value in column B is XXXX than there can be no inputs in cells less than that value?

I like the look of when only the used columns and rows are shown. I like to hide all unused columns and rows, and have the background and a minimalist spreadsheet.
HOWEVER, is it just me, or does Excel move a lot slower when thousands of rows and columns are hidden? Particularly, opening files seems to be slower. I'd love to delete them entirely from existence, so Excel only has a few rows and columns to work with, but that doesn't seem to be an option.

I currently have my template protected, and I've been getting complaints that they can't modify the width, fonts etc. The only reason I have it protected is because I don't want them to mess with my formulas. How can i protect ONLY the formulas, and have the rest editable.

I need to know if it is possible to combine these 2 formulas (1. (RIGHT(C23,0)&RIGHT(C23,4)) and 2. LEFT(E23,2)&":"&RIGHT(E23,2)
into a single cell. I have a date time group that is in text format. I need to take the last 4 digits (the time) and pull it out into another. Then take that cell and convert it into an actual time ie 2:30.
example: 01may2014 0831 first formula pulls the 0831 into another cell. then the 2nd formula converts it into a time 8:31.
After this occurs, I can then subtract times from different categories in my spreadsheet.
My, problem, is that I cannot combine the two formulas. They work great by themselves. I am just trying to make formulas more compact and hopefully more efficient.

I am working in Excel 2010.
I am looking over spreadsheets in a new job, and I am coming across formulas I am unfamiliar with?
For example, =(G16*G17/C13-G24)*hrs and =I25*elec.
hrs and elec??
After using the "Trace Precedents" feature, the "hrs" and "elec" are still a mystery to me. Are these variables that the creator of the spreadsheet has defined? They don't appear to be named data sets because they exist in just a few cells.

I Need to Understand Running Total Sum Formulas. I'm using Excel 2010. and I'm typing in the basic correct formula to arrive at a running total for each ajacent cell to the left of it.
I put in the correct formula in Cell (B1) of Sum=(A1)
I then put in the correct formula in Cell (B2) Sum=(A1:A2) I then highlight the A1 part of the formula with an F4 Key to lock it in.
I then drag the B2 Cell all the way down the excel page to capture all of my running total coming from the (A) Column just to the left of my formula.
Why even though I'm getting the answers I want in the running total does it put an error message in each of the correct answers in each of the cells in the (B) column where I put my formulas.
I tryed to delete the error message spot but I don't know how to delete all of the error spots without going into each cell one by one.
How can I get rid of all the error message out of each cell without having to click on each cell one by one to do it when I might have over 500 or more cells to click on.

I recently received an .xls book which I then saved as .xlsx (I'm using 2010). There are just under 8,000 rows and 20 columns. File Size 1MB.
The only formulas in the sheet are the ones in a column which I inserted and copied down for all 8,000 rows. Nothing too complicated: no arrays or anything. The sheet calculates fine.
I am simply trying to copy and paste these formulas as values (into the same cells), though at every attempt Excel crashes. I tried on smaller sets of the column and just got it to work for a few hundred rows, though it struggles with any more than that.
I opened a different workbook of mine, and tried the same operation on twice as many cells containing complicated, lengthy array formulas and the action completed instantly.
There is no Conditional Formatting in the book, no code, no 'last cell' issue, no Named Ranges, no external links.
I have even copied the data to a new workbook, then copied the text of just one of the formulas over into this book, added an equals sign, copied down and recalculated, then tried to paste as values again. Still crashes.
Formula:
=IF(AND(N3>1,ROWS($1:1)<>MATCH(M3,$M$3:$M$7979,0)),"Exact Duplicate","")
is far more resource-hungry than I thought, though if that were the case, wouldn't the issue be during calculation (which, as I said, is fine) and not during a paste attempt? No, it can't be this.

I have an excel file with 2 sheets. Sheet 1 has a column that contains formulas (ie (18299*11151)/20067 ) Those numbers are IDs referencing questions stored in Sheet 2. What I would like to do is find a way to look up those questions and place them into the formula instead of the ID numbers.

I am working on a massive Pivot Table but in order to compile it I have to copy data from many worksheets into one. My problem is that each worksheet contains about 11,500 formulas with references to other workbooks and cells. However, none of these is locked for cell reference (meaning none has the $ sign for row or column) so copying and pasting obviously screws it up since the reference is changing but I need to have the links active in the pivot table.
It would obviously take me a year to add 440,000 individual $ signs. Is there any way, a trick of sorts, where I can just highlight the entire worksheet and add the $ sign to each and every cell reference automatically?

I am trying to create an inventory list that automatically updates the supply quantity when items are taken away from inventory. I have created entry cells where the quantity of items taken out of inventory can be entered (example, cell F2 of the attachment), and the new overall inventory count is adjusted accordingly for each stock of items (example, cell B3). These automated adjustments are repeated for each subsequent row for every time items have been taken from inventory and recorded.
I managed to get it to do what I originally intended with exception of the fact that it still present values on rows where there were no activity - or quantity of items taken from out of inventory (row #6 and beyond of the attachment). Is there a way of "hiding" these values without removing the formula, or possibly set conditional formatting where no values are displayed if no changes in inventory has been entered?

Sheet 1 contains range B12:B353 with names of people. Sheet 2 range B12:B353 contains a formula to extract the names from Sheet 1 if range D12:D353 contains a certain value:
=IF(Sheet1!D12:D354="A",(Sheet1!B12:B353)," ")
At the bottom of each column in Sheet 2 I am trying to get a total count of populated cells (a running count of names actually visible). I have inserted formula:
=COUNTA(B12:B353)
Which should count the number of cells with text in them, right? But I believe it's somehow counting the formula as text because I inserted the value of "A" in Sheet 1 Column D for 3 names. It returned a number of 331 at the bottom of my column in Sheet 2. First off, a return of 331 doesn't make sense in any way (still scratching my head at this return. It should have returned a value of 3.

I have a sheet with 2 tabs. On the first tab is my data and the 2nd tab is the formula.
This is my formula;
=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A3,Data!$A:$AD,23,0)),"",(VLOOKUP(A3,Data!$A:$AD,23,0)))
When I insert a new column at 'A' the formula changes (as below)
=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A3,Data!$B:$AE,23,0)),"",(VLOOKUP(A3,Data!$B:$AE,23,0)))
How do i stop the reference changing from 'Data!$A:$AD' to 'Data!$B:$AE' when inserting the column?

On my "Order" sheet, I enter an account no. that looks up the company name, address, etc on my "Accounts" sheet. Below the address info on the "Accounts" sheet is a list of the salespersons with their email address.
After entering the account no., I want to enter the salespersons name and automatically look up their email address. I can make the lookup function work if I tell the formula which column the salesperson is located in, but am lost how to write the formula to locate the salesperson based upon the column no. that contains their company info.
It's not pretty, but this works.
=IF(F1"",HLOOKUP(F1,ACCOUNTS!A1:Z100,ORDER!G9, FALSE),"")
F1 - contains the account no. entered on the order sheet.
Accounts!A1:Z100 - range containing columns of account info.
ORDER!G9 - This is the row number value I obtained by using a match function to lookup the Salespersons name entered in cell F8, then I add 1 to render the value of the row that contains the email address located directly below the salespersons name.
=(MATCH(F8,ACCOUNTS!B1:B100,FALSE)+1)
Herein lies my issue, the salesperson name will not always be in Column B
I can write another Match to obtain the column no, but then I am using another cell to hold a calculated value for my lookup statement.
