Excel 2010 :: Recovering Username On Specified Cell
Oct 4, 2013
Declare Function GetUserName Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "GetUserNameA" _
(ByVal lpBuffer As String, nSize As Long) As Long
Public Function UserName() As String
Dim Buffer As String * 100
Dim BuffLen As Long
On Error GoTo UNerr
[Code] ......
I found the code online and attempted to call the user name using =username() on the specified cell, but I receive the #NAME? error. I looked around and found several references to check the VB refence box for anything missing and I did not find anything incorrect.
To note, I am attempting this at my job's PC which will be used on other employees PC's as well.

I'm keen to add a field to a spreadsheet that populates a cell with the username of the last person who edited the file, as in the system or logon name, e.g. first.lastname syntax.
I would however like to keep this sheet as an .xlsx and not have it as an .xlsm. I have the code to use VBA, but is there way to grab the username without VBA to keep the .xlsx format?
I'm using Excel 2010.

Using Excel2010 in Windows7. I have a UserForm
1: TextBox for Input Username (txtUsernameIn)
2: TextBox for Input Password (txtPasswordIn)
3) Submit Button (cmdSubmit1)
I have a Worksheet
ColA: Username
ColB: Password
And this entire Range A:B, I have named "UserRegister"
I have code, attached to the cmdSubmit1 button on my UserForm. The purpose is to allow access to a veryhidden Worksheet "ADMIN".
The code 'works' if I enter in both the correct UserName and Password (ie: the code completes & Admin sheet opens up).
The code 'works' if I enter in the correct UserName and the wrong password (ie: code completes it's run, my msg pops up to say there is wrong input, unloads the form & sheet ADMIN stays veryhidden).
However, if I enter the wrong username (with either right or wrong password) the code breaks and I get a debug error. I know my code is obviously wrong/missing something etc - but I can't work it out! The line of code highlighted on the break, is between the *** below
VB:
Private Sub cmdSubmit1_Click()
Dim Username As String
Username = txtUserNameIn.Text
Dim password As String
password = txtPasswordIn.Text
[Code] ......

I have been working on some files in excel for several days, saving regularly, etc. but have run into a huge problem. I was marking cells with a background color to organize and track my work, but the files being saved were .csv's.
From my research, it seems that .csv's only save data, not formatting such as cell background colors.
However, while I was working on the files, they displayed the colors correctly etc.
I am hoping that there is some sort of temporary file created by excel that would allow me to re-open my work and have the coloring appear so I can save the work as an .xlsx file with formatting.

I'm a novice using Excel 2007 at work and some of my worksheets have vanished.
On Friday I opened up an existing single-sheet workbook; while I was working on it I renamed the original sheet and added two new sheets. Obviously, I saved everything before I shut the file.
Today I've opened up the workbook and the two new sheets have vanished. Strangely, the original sheet has reverted to its original name (also the name of the workbook), but the changes I made to the data on Friday remain. The Properties window indicates there is only one sheet in this workbook, and confirms that the last save was made at the end of Friday.
The workbook is saved as an Excel Comma Separated Values file. I don't know if this is relevent.

When an Excel document crashes, I get the option to recover the document the next time I open Excel. However, if it is a read-only file, I don't get this option.
Is there any way around this? I usually work in read-only documents, saving my changes to new documents. If the read-only file I'm working in crashes.

I am having with Excel 2007.
When I hover the mouse over a cell with comments, the status bar displays a message; for example "Cell A12 commented by A satisfied Microsoft Office user".
I only get this message for one column. The cells in all other columns give my first and second name as the author of the cell comment.
Why it is only effecting one column. I have been unable to change the annoying "commented by A satisfied Microsoft Office user" to my own name.
Is there a macro that can do this? I tried two macros I found online, both from a few years back, but neither of them worked.

I have a thousand names on a column, and I have a several worksheet tabs as locations, such as CA, AZ, TX, and NY.
All names goes to main worksheet, show like this
apitchford 10 100 123
bkishpaugh 9 211 123
blee 14 234 111
cbonny 21 125 412
I need to pull a specific name, example, name = blee, move that name with all data on that row into TX.
I will need to set as automatically, becuase the names add and delete on the main worksheet, and will auto update those tab worksheets. (make sense?)
I have tried INDEX and MATCH, but they keep putting one data in, not all data.

When I use the mouse pointer to select a cell I can't use the arrow keys to move to another cell while the pointer is over the cell and I can't edit the cell while the pointer is over the cell. If I move the pointer away from the cell then I can move around and edit as normal therefore I don't think this is a scroll lock issue.
This issue also happens when I select a tab. If I select a tab and then leave the pointer over the tab I selected then I can't use the arrow keys to move around the worksheet or edit a cell; if I move the pointer away from the cell then I can move around and edit as normal.
I am using MS Excel 2010.

Trying to get a record of who authorized spending in one of my worksheets and when they did it
I had some VBA code in one of my worksheets which added a time stamp and a user ID to two different cells after the user enters their name. Why it is no longer working, though I suspect after moving the worksheet around.
I would like my users to type their name into cell G65 (which is actually merged from G65-K65). Once the user enters their name, cell L65 (which is actually merged L65-O65) populates with the current time stamp. Also, when the user enters their name into cell G65, I would like cell P65 (which is actually merged into P65-S65) to auto populate. I would like this all of this to go down through line 70.

I have searched the forum several way to resolve my issue and the only solutions were as follows:
PHP
Public Function UserName()UserName = Environ("username")UserName = Computer("UserName")End FunctionOption ExplicitFunction NetworkUserName() As StringDim responseNetworkUserName = Environ("Username")End Function
Problem is that I get a #REF! and #NAME? instead of the user names
I am using Excel 2000 (I can not upgrade, Government PC) plus we need it to support Excel 2000 - present versions.

Is there a way to have a formula or a VBA code associated to the choice of any value in a Validation list.
For example is there a way to have lets say in A1 a validation list and to have B2 returning the username of the person of who will select a value in A1?

I trying to create a paperless petty cash system. I have my sheet all setup and calculating how I want. When a user makes an entry they Enter their name in column "W".
I am trying to overcome the problem of accountability. I need to achieve a cell calls for Username and Password and if correct the persons name is entered into cell then Row is locked to prevent figures being altered etc. But also if user made mistake they need to unlock it somehow someway
Sure this achievable from snippets of info I seen online but its way beyond my abilities. I realise a determined user can circumvent this if they wanted to.

Sheets("sheet1").Range("a1").Value = Environ("username")
If Range("a1").Value = Range("H5").Value Then format.cell("c24")Protection=unlocked
I will have someone type in their supervisor's name in H5. When they send the form to their supervisor and A1 matches the entry in H5, I want cell c24 to be unlocked so the supervisor can make an entry.

I have an Excel 2010 spreadsheet consisting of many worksheets (20 or so). Each of these worksheets contain detail level data regarding different projects. One of the columns in these worksheets is the 'Status' column (column F). There is conditional formatting on this column where if the text is 'G' then change background to a green color, 'Y'=yellow, 'R'=Red and 'U'=Grey.
The first worksheet is a summary sheet that I would like to pull information from each of the detail worksheet's columns B, D, E, G and H if the status column (Column F) is 'R' or 'Y'.
The number of rows in the detail worksheet can change each week (as few as 0 and as many as 100)

I have a range of cells each containing a name. Based on a number that has to be entered manually I want excel to return the names concatenated in one cell. So for example:
Number of variable entered: 5
q9001
q9002
q9003
q9004
q9005
q9006
etc.
Should give me: "q9001 q9002 q9003 q9004 q9005"
I have been trying to work with formulas using IF and CONCAT functions. But so far I haven't figured out how to have excel return me the correct amount of variables for each separate number that can be entered seeing the number of variables entered can vary from 1 up to 50.

I am trying to create a sheet in XL 2010.
In Column A each cell will contain a date (differnet from other cells in that column) when inspection was last done.
Column B is when the weekly inspection is due.
Column C is when bi-weekly inspection is due.
Column D is when monthly inspection is due.
Column E is when 6 monthly inspection is due.
I need a formula to change the colour of cells B, C, D & E when each inspection is due depending on the date entered in A
I am hoping its possible that the cell colour can stay for 2 days after the due date and then return back to blank after the second day.
For example if cell A1 has a date of January 1 2013 then on January 8 2013 cell B1 turns red then on January 10 2013 the cell returns back to normal.
A1
B1
C1

On a separate worksheet we want to calculate with the first worksheet's values.
For example: Calc1: Sum ColumnB IN Table1 WHERE ColumnA = Orange
How do we do such a calculation/formula?

I am using Excel 2010.
In my worksheet I have 'Column A' and 'Column B', In 'Column A' are product I.D. numbers. In 'Column B' is a text description of the product, whose I.D. number is in 'Column A,' and should also contain the I.D. number from 'Column A' somewhere in the midst of the descriptive text. However, some of these in 'Column B' do not.
I need to create a function that looks for the value in 'Column A' and determines whether or not it is present in the text of 'Column B'. Therefore, spitting the answer out in 'Column C' so that I can copy it down for 100,000 cells.

(I am using Excel version 14.0.7106 and MS Office Professional 2010.)
I have a macro in which I have named a range of numbers in a spreadsheet, used the "find" function to find a particular number in that range, and now would like to copy some information into a cell in the same row as the found number. However, when I try to move over to the cell that I'm copying to, it only goes to the 1st row in the range that I have defined.
Here's the portion of code I think you need to see. Everything works...it finds a match...but then I don't know what to do from there to get the information to the correct row:
'Grab the 1st project number
Range("C8").Select
Do Until ActiveCell.Value = ""
If ActiveCell.Value "" Then
prjnum = ActiveCell.Value
Selection.Offset(0, 8).Select

I would like to accomplish 2 things in my Excel 2010 spreadsheet by click a cell which already has a number and formatting in it.
1. How do I change the color of the cell, the color of the number in it, and the border around it. (Make it look like I just pressed a button by clicking it.)
2. At the same time have the text in different cell and the number in the selected cell appear in another different cell. (Text in a different cell = A , and the number in the selected cell = 23, the value in the resulting cell be "A 23") Everything I would like to happen at the same time by clicking the selected cell. I would also like this to be done several times by clicking different cells and not changing the previously selected cells.

I need to display a set of cells based on the value of two drop down cells i have. As I am not very good at english and worse at explinations, I'll try via screen shots...
I have two dropdowns (C4 and C6) that will indicate what table to use (Second sheet / screenshot). I want that "table" to display in the yellow box on the first page. To complicate matters, some options do not have a CLA option - those starting with X. As there are 24 different outcomes and each is 3x9 if/then statements just dont seem to cut it.
P.S. I have excel 2010 and windows 7
