Macros that are active in a workbook can typically be viewed by going to Tools->macro->macros. Once there anyone can see all the macros being used in the workbook.
Is there anyway to prevent the user from viewing the macros, actually I don't mind the names being displayed, but I don't want some of the macros to be launchable on demand by the user.
I have some macros stored that have the passwords to unlock the worksheets. I suppose
I can restructure the macros to possibly avoid this security issue if nothing else is available.
I've done some looking around in the object browser and in the forum, but i wasn't able to find the answer to this question:
I've got a combobox (dropdown list) in a userform which i use to run macros. soft of them are fairly long (2-3seconds), and during that time the dropdown list remains visible.... is there a way to force hide it?
I have a challenge in excel functions, I need to save a file as common folder but in that workbook have multiple sheets need to show the sheets as per the user name on system other sheets want to hide with password protect,
example,
file name:- Report Sheets:- A,B,C,D
if now using system user name is A then need to show only "A" sheet, other sheets want to be hide and the same for all.....
What is the code to hide my vba calulating on screen? I have vba doing a bunch of things (like updating values etc.) that I don't want the user to see while using the spread sheet.
I developed some pivot table reports and macro'd out pdf'ing them for the users but now management want the users to be able to manipulate the data themselves !! The file is 31 sheets and I'm figuring they'll only want to see the sheets that are relevant to them so is there a way to macro it out?? Perhaps when the file opens it asks, "Who do you want to see?" Jack? Joe? or Rudy?, Month or YTD, or Both? or Everything? and it will hide the sheets that are not selected. The words "month" and "YTD" is in Cell "N1" and the individuals names are in Cell "M1".
i'm writing a refrigeration selection user interface, working from values on an excel spreadsheet. how to get the programme to automatically select a value from a list or range once a user has selected corresponding value from a list within a combobox. for example if a user sets the temperature of their refrigerator to -5 celsius i need the programme to automatically select the corresponding value of enthalpy for the air at that temperature.
I'm trying to use data validation to restrict the user to only selecting values in a list which I create. Right now, the list is a named range. I'd like to get rid of the range and just use a named list. I create a name using the following as my list.
Insert > Name > Create Name: Fruit
Refers to: banana,apple,orange
When I try to use the name Fruit in my data validation, I get the message "The List Source must be a delimited list, or a reference to single row or column." I thought my name "fruit" was a delimited list.
Is there a way of a user can add a number in a cell and this would hide a different amount of columns.
OR :
Ideally I would prefer a drop down with dates and the user could select a forward date and all the columns with dates up to that would appear. This would mean they could look as far our as required and all unwanted data would be hidden.
I see this forum and the example works perfectly in Excel 2003.. But we are using Excel 2007 now and it doesn't appear to be recognizing the user and is always refering to the "else" in the vb codes. Does this code for not work in 2007? Oh and I am refering to Post #10 on there with the attachment that will hide different sheets depending on which user is getting on the file.
I'm trying to create a macro that allows users to hide or unhide selected rows, either via toggle or userform. The macro I have looks like this, but for some reason it doesn't hide the rows:
Sub Hide_Range() Dim UserRange As Range DefaultRange = Selection.Address Set UserRange = Application.InputBox _ (Prompt:="Select Range to Hide:", _ Title:="Hide Range", _ Default:=DefaultRange, _ Type:=8) Rows.Select Selection.EntireRow.Hidden = True End Sub
what's wrong with my code and how I can further develop it to let the user decide whether to hide or unhide the selected rows?
I would like to hide the content of a cell so it appears blank to user. I edit excel bike tour (route) cue sheets for our bicycle club and some info is needed for formulas in calculating total distance but doesn't need to be seen by the bicycle rider.
I have nearly finished my project, but need to make the last real bit of code, then just some general tidying up.
What I want to do - I currently have two tabs in a userform - one called 'main' and one called 'extra'. - I want Main to always be shown to the user. - I want Extra to be hidden (is it possible to make the tabs invisible?) and for this form to be shown only under a specific condition
I have a question on my userform (using Option Buttons): "Did the customer ask about an extra product today?"
If the answer to this question is no - When the user hits the command button (after filling out the rest of the form), do nothing special - just return all the values to the worksheet
If the answer is yes - When the user hits the command button, I want them to be taken to the 'extra' tab. They will fill out some additional check-boxes, then hit another command box, which will return the info from both the 'main' and 'extra' sheets into the same row of the worksheet.
In brief: I want my 'extra' tab to be hidden, only to appear when 'yes' is selected, and for the results all to go back to the worksheet.
I would like to setup a macro that brings up a dialog box asking for a date in a specific column. Once that date is entered in the dialog box, the macro would then find all rows before that date (in that specfic column) and delete them.
I wrote a macro which creates desired output based on one default variables. But I want to change it to take user selected assumptions and perform the macro for each user selected variables.
I am confused with user forms and controls and what to use.
Can anyone give the code to how to add a list box to a userform and then add items to the listbox, and run macro based on thegiven input in the list box?
I currently have a macro that takes a user selected name and date and creates a time sheet for the selected name. This works just fine, however i have to select each individual person and run the macro for each person, how to automate that part of the macro, so it will automatically create the said sheet for all person at once, rather than me doing it manually.
[Code] .....
The 'CurrentMonth' variable is user selected from a list, and will remain that way.
I'm trying to create a spreadsheet that will add a value to one column from one specific cell. For example: I want to enter a name in cell G10 and add that entry value enters in A1, then erase that name and enter a name in G10 again and that entry value enters in A2, and so on and so forth.
I'm trying to set up an Input Box that allows the user to have a set of options to select from. The only things I have found deal with a MsgBox with set options of Yes, No, or Cancel. I would like to allow the user to have multiple buttons, check boxes, or radio buttons to select from. (any of those will work). For example: "Select the Customer Service Representative you worked with: " -Amy -Jill -Joseph -Christopher
Working on a user form... I have a combo box, with a list of the items available.... then I have a text box that inputs the quantity. Is there a way that I can put a list underneath in such a way that every time I select a item, put the quantity in the text box, it will list down in that list?
In other words... If I have 5 products for the same order I would pick one, qty and click add, then another one, qty, and add... so on. That way I would be able to see all of the items that I have picked.
This is what I'm trying to achieve: Display a list box (or any other appropriate form/active X control) to get input from the users which is usually a list of several terms. Once they've input the list, upon clicking 'OK' it should add them all to Col. B.
The above request WILL be a good solution, but if there is an advanced solution to this for eg., something like a list box with buttons, for instance: click on 'Articles' and it populates 'a,' 'an,' & 'the, click on 'Prepositions' and it populates all the pre-fed prepositions, etc. that would be PERFECT!
I have created the attached file and would like to do the following using user forms: 1) From the sheet 'Courses', select a course on schedule it on a date - No problems, done this using form 'Schedule Course'
2) I would then like to assign people to courses scheduled using 'Attendees' form - this is where I am stuck and will appreciate some help. Problems faced are:
I need to schedule the same type of course more than once however I want the user to have only one selection from the drop down list (Spin should appear only once even though I have 4-5 scheduled) - he should then be able to select one of the dates for when the course has been scheduled
I want to write a macro that asks the user for input, but not any input. The input has to be either "D", "IK" or "CI". I would like for the user to have to select one of these options.
I'm using a series of user forms for data entry to a workbook, some of them open next stage user form on completion (OK cmd button).
All that is working fine, but I'd like the initial form to close on showing the next one. I've tried adding Unload and Hide commands following the frmInsertEntry.Show (Next stage form), to no avail, but I'd like this user form to close or hide at the end of the sub.
Private Sub cmdContinueType_Click()
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Records").Activate 'Select starting cell in record sheet Range("N3").Select
Do If IsEmpty(ActiveCell) = False Then ' Search for next empty cell ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select End If Loop Until IsEmpty(ActiveCell) = True
If optDrillType = True Then frmDrillEntry.Show Else frmInsertEntry.Show End If
how to search through a list of last names in column B, then find all of the last names which are the same as what is being searched for, then list them along with their first name which is located in the adjacent column A, this list of names is then displayed to the user to chose the name needed.
eg.
a) User enters in the last name "Smith".
b) program searches all of column B and finds 3 occurences of the last name "Smith".
c) it then adds the first name to each of them which is located in column A next to each "Smith". ie. John Smith Larry Smith Fred Smith Maybe list these in a list box or something.
d) Now the user wants Larry Smith, so all he does is click on Larry Smith, and then that full name is entered into column A on the next worksheet.
I have a few macros that need to work with various worksheets which are in different windows.
1. Make the user name the files a certain way for consistency 2. Make the user type the name of each window at the start of execution
I was wondering if there was a more flexible option though: one which would allow the user to choose from a list of open windows (similar to the Window>More Windows>Activate function in Excel).
Ideally the macro would run and say something like, "Which of the following open windows contains dataset1?" "Which of the following open windows contains dataset2?"
The list boxes on my Form all have a dark blue backround which makes it hard to tell when the box has been selected for data entry. Could someone tell me what item in the "properties" window controls this function.
The text box where the end user types in the data - I want to make this have a drop down list like when using data validation but dont have a clue how to.
In the attached example I can't add more than one name at a time without closing the user form. I can edit the list and click the "Save Changes" button and the changes happen. But using the "Add Name" button I can not add more than one name without closing the form, it just overwrites the previous name unless I close the form.
