I have some password protected excel worksheets that required editing as they are from earlier versions, an earlier time and all need to be updated. This would be fine if it was myself who actually made the worksheets, but the person who did retired a couple of years ago and has dropped off the map (no contact details etc).
I know how to remove passwords, when I was the one who set them. The big problem here is, they are all macro enabled and for some reason the free down load password removal applications do not unlock worksheets that are macro enabled.

I need some excel formula to prevent duplicate cells in my excel file.
Case: I have one excel sheet with one column containing certain cell occupied with data (Eg: A01 to A30), Now i'm try to paste some more data in the consecutive cells (Eg: A31 to A40). The data i'm pasted second (Eg: A31 to A40) may contain some data from first pasted data(Eg: A01 to A30). I need to remove the duplicates. In this case after pasting 2 datas i can remove duplicates. But i want to prevent from pasting of duplicate data..i.e. while pasting the second set of data, a pop window should appear and tell me "these data are already present" etc..
Is it possible for Excel file to be open with 2 password? Like, if password is equal to "Password1" the file can be edited but if password is equal to "Password2" the file will be open as read only, if so, VBA code.
We had an Excel worksheet that is used everyday suddenly pop up with protection. I have used protection before, but this one never had a password. We put in every known password we use, but none worked. I resigned to re-typing the worksheet, then, in between Friday night, and Saturday noon, when most of the office is out, a different Excel worksheet has the same problem. We are using Excel 97.
I know how to protect a worksheet with a password so that no one can amend the contents or view the formulas in the cells. And then we can un-protect the worksheet by clicking on the "review" tab in excel 2007 and so on. But recently I came across an excel sheet which was password protected and my query is that the "Review" tab was greyed out. What kind of protection was this that clicking on "review" tab option is also unavailable. And how does these kind of sheets get unlocked then.
I read somewhere that password of a protected excel sheet is located in the sheet itself , hidden somewhere. So , it can be located by some "curious" ones.
Second question is , how can we find that password and prevent anyone from detecting it?
I have QC checklist with a cell at the bottom for the user's initials. We have 8 users, and I would like to create a way that each user can enter their pin and have their initials come up in the cell. Ideally, there would be no way to the other users to know each other's pins or find out in the spreadsheet. Do you think it is do-able using VBA and how they would approach this?
I am looking to convert 2000 excel files in PDF and include a unique password (password ideally will be their employee number). Is this possible using VBA, I am thinking that if I have a seperate excel file with the name of each file and the applicable password it might be but not sure?
I am trying to create simple password protected system in excel. What I have already done is I have a worksheet, which is not visible that holds all user names, passwords and user roles, such as admin and user. Now my problem, I need to create a UserForm that will prompt user to input their details prior to using the workbook. I have no problems with creating the form itself but I cannot really create a code to handle the task. Also, there will be only one system admin, which means that only admin should be able to create users, so that when admin will sign in, he should be able to see the button on the home screen, something like "Create New User". I cannot post my workbook because of the Corporate Copyrights and privacy, but what I can do is post all named ranges that contain password, usernames etc.
I have created a worksheet and password protected, I know the password but now want to send to someone and remove the password protection option instead of them having to use a password to open it.
I have an intern that is working with me, and I have a file that I need updated but one of the columns has confidential information so I would like to just hide & password protect this column this way he can't access/view this information but still have access to modify the rest of the spreadsheet.
I've got a spreadsheet that has password protection before you can "modify" it. All of a sudden today, when I open the spreadsheet and enter the correct password, it still opens but only as Read Only.
I'd like to be able to unlock the whole of a workbook by putting the password into a specific cell and then the whole thing locks again when it is saved. I have been able to find the coding to do this for a worksheet but I'd really like to be able to unlock the whole project.
I used VBA codes to apply different passwords for different worksheets in a single excel workbook. They worked fine. Then i applied a password to the VBA code itself through the VBA project properties. Also worked.
But my problem is that, if any one enters a wrong password to open any of the worksheets, the VBA will open an error message window and when "end" option is clicked, the VBA code will open without any prompt for the password.Thus the entire purpose is defeated.
Excel 2010, Windows 7: Is it possible to password protect an Excel document at an "Administrator" or a executive level. I want to grant access to the document, and the ability to manipulate it as they choose, to everyone with the password but prohibit them from changing the password once they are in.
I am using Excel 2007 and I have a worksheet with multiple columns, some of these columns are protected and some are not.
I then lock the worksheet with a password so the user can't edit certain cells that are protected but can modify the unprotected cells, the problem is the user cannot use the filter or sort the workbook.
Is there a way to allow filtering or sorting but still lock down the worksheet.
I have cells where the formual is this: =D17/SUM(D17:E17). The result is always going to be a three-digit decimal, less than 1. .546 .345 .678 etc. Excel, of course, places a zero in the front: 0.546 0.345 etc. Is there a way to remove this?
I have about 80K (80 thousands) entries.Each entry starts with #000. I want to remove "#" sign and zeros as well.I had used "LEFT " function but problem is that some numbers have 3 zeros in the start and some have have 4 or 2 or one zero. I tried to do it manually but it proved a gigantic task and been unable to complete it.
The few examples of entries are as under. #0001234 #000001897 #034567 #00671234
