I have a macro that turns off filtering option when it runs. What I want is for to first warn the user that rows have been filtered and the Macro will not run, then once the filters are switch off, the macro will run. It does the last bit at the moment but switches off the filtering of protected cells and once the macro has run the sheet can no longer be filtered .
Sub NewRowSQT()
Dim ans As String
ans = MsgBox("Ensure you have selected a cell in column B immediately below the section you wish to add to or the Macro will FAIL!", vbYesNo)
I have a protected worksheet where I allow all users of the worksheet to filter yet when I filter, Excel gives a run time error 1004 - you cannot use this command in a protected worksheet. Could someone let me know what am I doing wrong?
I have the following macro so that we can use the outline feature without having to unprotect a sheet.
Private Sub Workbook_Open() With Worksheets("Schedule") .Protect Password:="APQP", Userinterfaceonly:=True[code]....
However once the macro is run, filtering will not work without unprotecting the sheet first. If you choose not to run the macro, filtering will work without unprotecting the sheet however the outline feature will not. what I need to add and where to make both the outline and filter features to work without having to unptotect the sheet?
I have created a very long switch statement, which is too long to be placed in one row in VBA. I have attempted to put a space and underscore at the end of one line and continue the statement on the row below by placing a comma at the start of the second line. VBA will accept my efforts, but when I run the statement in the immediate window, the following error appears.
"Invalid procedure call or argument"
I understand that there are certain rules where I can split a switch statement onto two lines, yet I do not know what they may be.
I have a list of 20,000 addresses and because of the way the sheet gets populated by different departments, the COUNTRY CODE and POSTAL CODE columns get their data reversed.
Instead of 48193 US, it gets put in as US 48193.
Since i have some many, and they are not in order at all (I could probably sort by COUNTRY CODE and get 95% of the in order (except for those pesky Canadian codes), is there a macro way out of this?
Even if I select two adjacent cells and run the macro and have the contents switch. Or if there is a way to do the 95% all at once.
I basically need to switch between ranges of cells to data input alot. so i thought of making a fixed field to enter the data which transfers the data over to designated cells .
Attached is an example.
I am not too sure which one will work, the If statement captures the data but when i switch out , the entry is gone .
I have exported a report to Excel from a BI tool called ZAP.
Unfortunately the cells in the columns are merged by group eg. salesperson, product, country.
I need to be able to filter by each of the columns - the only way i can think of is to unmerge and copy the information to the rest of the "merge area".
This will be extremely time consuming as there are more than 1000 rows and at least 5 columns that I want to filter.

Learn about the "copy only visible cells" when I've filtered down a filter. Now Excel copies that way by default everytime I copy multiple rows when I've filtered. But NOW I want to copy everything that is hidden between the filter as well, i.e. how it did it before.
I have a column that contains combined data of numbers and letters. I want to filter that column to exclude cells that contain the letter "d" or "f". I am trying to create a pivot table from the results of the filter to only display the ID #s that do not contain the letters "f" or "d".
The data inside the fields is not the same length and is not listed in a particular order. I have over 14,000 records I need to filter.
Data set example: The items in red are an example of the cells I would like to exclude from my worksheet. Is there a way to filter without deleting the data?
I have a spreadsheet where I need to lock certain cells, only problem is this then takes away the ability to filter the columns which I also still need in that spreadsheet.
Is there a way to lock cells so that they can not be edited but also keep the filtering function?
I've created a spreadsheet that I want to offer for sale.
I've protected all cells with formula and those not needed to use the program. The only cells that can be selected/changed are those that need the values for the calculations.
How do I protect the sheet from being saved/stolen when trialed by possible customers?
How would I fix my formulas from not working when I filter other columns? It is a simple =A1/A3 cell and this calculation is down the full column. When I filter any column, the calculation does not stay with the assigned cells.
Background: I am HR manager for a construction company & keeper of the call-in list of personnel who are looking for work. I have a simple sheet that has columns:
Date Name Craft Experience ...more info...
If each call-in had only one craft, wouldn't have a problem. Those who are multicrafted ar listed e.g. "EL, MW, BM" In the column C. A caller two days later may be listed as "MW, BM, EL" We input the data as they say it since that is usually their order of expertise. (Yes, I know that it should have been set up with each craft having its own column, but I inherited the sheet & it has 4000+ entries)
I wrote a couple of small macros & assigned buttons on the sheet to allow the users to sort the sheet by date, or name, or craft. My customers (project managers) have requested to be able to sort by craft but have all the folks with any specific craft listed together.
You can see there that some inserted object (in this case, PDF files shown as icons), are moved. I need to find a way to immobilize every inserted object within each cell boundaries. I want to freely sort or filter and avoid this kind of problem that gets worse with more rows, columns and inserted objects.
I made a sheet to control some reports, and it works like this: you click a button ("Insert"), it opens a userform, you type everything there (date, serial number, client, city) and it place that info on the first row available. Then there's a "Clear Last Entry" button, and that's it.
I would like to protect the whole sheet and only allow users to insert new entries via the "Insert" button. How can I do this? If I protect normally Excel won't allow the VBA code to write on cells.
The Special GoTo function doesn't have a listing for highlighting (going to) only protected or (preferribly) unprotected cells. Is there an easy way to do this?
Excel 2007 or 2003 Is there code to be able choose the formating of a cell when right clicked if the cell is Unprotected. But, the sheet is Protect and the Workbook is Protected. Without Unprotecting anything 1st.
The reason being is sometimes the user may need to change the type of font from Arial, or Gdt or Y14.5M.
I am trying to change the color in Range("A1:bb5000") for each worksheet unless it is protected.
Here is my code
Sub Color_Sheets() Dim ws As Worksheet For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets ws.Activate Range("A1:bb5000").Select If Item.Locked = False Then With Selection.Interior
I have a protected worksheet with about a dozen unprotected cells (so the user can just answer question from a validated list). Also unprotected is a hyperlink back to the main menu (Sheet1).
My problem is when a user clicks outside of where they should (i.e. on a protected cell) - it executes the hyperlink back to Sheet1.
I have tried unprotecting cells around the hyperlink. I even tried putting "dummy" hyperlinks around the main one referring it back to the same sheet.
Well I am back to the colour coding of protected cells
I am using excell 2003
Many cells in the worksheet are locked
My problem is that when I am debugging I forget to turn sheet protection on
when I am finished And then users can overtype the cell formulae
How can I set excel up so that when the sheet is protected all the Locked cells have a green background , but when the protection on the worksheet is turned off then the locked cells must be a red
So I have a macro that colors the selected cells in a certain color. Now im looking for a code that will switch that color every 7th cell, the cells will only be selected horizontally. For example:
if the selected range is 10 cells, 7 of them should be in one color and 3 of the should be in another. But if the selected range is 15 cells the first 7 should have one color and the next 7 should have another and then the last one should have the first color again, and so on..
I have a code which deletes all contents of cell in range except formulas, from sheet 2 to 13. Code works, but I have included toggle button on each sheet to lock/unlock sheets.
If I lock sheets, code doesn't erase cells as needed.
I have figured out code that works for me, but looks like It's not performing quite correct. Although code executes quite quick...
This is my current code :
[Code] .....
How could I rearrange this code to work in proper order ?
Is there any way to allow autofiltering and sorting even with locked cells within the range to be sorted? I've conditionally locked some cells based on user input, and at the end of my vb code I have allowsorting and allowfiltering. But I want to sort cells that are locked even after that. Does anyone know if that's even possible with VB?
I have a workbook with a series of sheets that have tables for entering data. The table row and column labels and formulas in certain cells of each sheet are locked and some sheets are hidden.
When opening the file I want to clear all cell contents (interior color, comments, data, etc) in all the unlocked cells on each sheet that is not hidden.
I tried protecting the sheets first so only the unlocked cells would be accessible, but when I run the code below I get an error saying that the clear contents etc. cannot be performed because the sheet is protected. If it is not protected, everything gets wiped out.
How can I keep the locked stuff but clear the unlocked cells?
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets If ws.Visible = xlSheetVisible Then
ws.Protect Password:="aaa" 'Protect each sheet ws.Cells.ClearContents 'clear content of any unprotected cells ws.Cells.ClearComments 'clear any cell comments ws.Cells.Interior.ColorIndex = 0 'set background colour to no fill Active.Cells.Range ("a1") 'make the active cell the top left
I'm using Microsoft Excel 2008 for Mac version 12.2.0 (090605) (Mac OS 10.5).
I created a sheet, selected some cells to be locked and others to be unlocked (using Format > Cells), then I used Tools > Protection > Protect Sheet (choosing Contents only, not Objects or Scenarios). This has the desired effect of protecting the locked cells from users accidentally typing changes and overwriting their current contents.
I can still enter new data in the unlocked cells as expected, but unexpectedly I cannot change the formatting of unlocked cells (e.g., shading, font - bold). These are *unlocked* cells so even if the sheet is protected, why can't I change the formatting for them? It is too tedious to Unprotect the sheet every time I need to change formatting of an unlocked cell.
I have zero experience with Visual Basic and can't even find options that others have described (e.g., right clicking the sheet name does not yield "Show code" and Tools > Macros does not yield anything comprehensible about VBA). So if your suggestions involve something complex, please do include detailed instructions!
