I would like to be able to hide a password as its entered. Currently the password is visible when it is firsy typed in and when it is re-typed to confirm the original password.
Can the password be overwritten with symbols (asterisks ?) as it is typed in to prevent others from viewing it ?
I have recorded 2 macros which helps me protect my sheet as intended. when the user runs the macro, and clicks on cancle then debug, it reveals the password entered for the macro.
Would really appreciate if some one helps me in modifying the below macros to hide password from others.
like PHP, you can enter a box and have it so what is entered is meant to be a password, so puts stars where the text is. I would like to do something like that with VB INPUT tag:
pw = Input ("Please enter Password:")
Is there a method I can add to this to make it cover the text being typed?
See I have hidden my sheets and I need them to stay hidden.
But when I need to unhide them, a password should be needed to unhide them.
Maybe add a button on one of the open sheets that when pressed will unhide the sheets but will promt for password.
I want to hide a sheet and I can do that. However, what I want to do it that when the user wants to view the sheet I just hid, he has to unhide and then enter a password. Right now tthere is no password.

He/ She can only enter the password thrice. After 3 times, if it is still wrong, the whole workbook must be closed. Is this possible? If not, I'll settle for something less complicated.

I'm trying to make it so students must use the userform to manage they're checking in and out, and not be able to have any direct access to the Spreadsheet itself. Also, it would be nice if the whole Spreadsheet was hidden, invisible, and only the user forms could be seen.

Is there a way to do this in Excel 2007?
I have a worksheet with 4000 rows and only 4 columns.
In quite a lot of the rows in column 2 there are asterisks (**'s).
I have to print out the report without these rows.
First i would like to hide the rows and print the report
Second i then need to delete the rows if there is no data in column 4
I am running a query on my database and trying to filter out a field which contains varying amount of asterisks.
I cannot get it to work.
Tried Contains '*'
Tried Like '[!*]%'
Tried begins with '*'
is an asterisk a wildcard in sql? and if so, is there a character like the tilde I can use to ignore the wildcard and search the actual character?
I have an Excel 2007 workbook which has five sheets in. I just wondered whether it is possible to hide all five of them when the workbook is first opened. Also I would like the user to be asked for a password when they wish to unhide a sheet, with the password being different for each of the sheets.
Is there also a way to do this which won't be affected by Excel disabling all Macros when the application initially opens.
I have a 2010 excel workbook with several locked worksheet (to which I manage the PW). I and another staff member manage different section of the macro but the other staff member doesn't have access to the locked areas.
Is there a way I can encrypt the password within VBA so it's not visible to the other staff member?
Locking the VBAProject doesn't work as the other staff member has to be able to edit his VBA section.
Many staff run the macro (via a button) and don't need to access the Macro and don't have access to the protected sheets.
I understand excel isn't ideal with PW protection for people wanting to bypass the protection and this isn't an issue.
I've used VBA to make a picture appear when all the correct answers have been entered and it all works well. However, not to be too mean to 15 year olds, many of my students can be devious little feckers, and I want to hide and password protect the VBA code so that they can't just change the pictures visible section to true. I can password protect the workbook and worksheet, but not the VBA.
I'm entering the Visual Basic editor and I can see my simple script. I then click Tools - VBproject properties - protection. I'm clicking the "Lock Project for Viewing" box then filling in the password and confirming the password and clicking OK. But I can still see and edit my script, despite protecting the sheet and workbook.
Doing some job costing on our lowes invoice and am using SUMIF and asterisks to account for all the different names that get used for properties by the cashiers. An example of that range column is:
67TH AVE
19112 PONCA
51ST
STERLING
9420 67 ST
1503 SW 13TH
51ST
10818
19112 PONCA
19112 PONKA
I have formatted this whole column as text and get strange results from sumif when there are exact matches. For example the "10818" string is uniform through the spreadsheet and returns a result of 0.00 if entered as "*10818*" for criteria but returns the correct amount if I use "10818" or 10818 with no quotes.
It seems to be related to the text strings that contain just "numbers" as I'm having no trouble picking up exact matches when there are alpha characters.
Some sensitive data is held on worksheets that are used by people that do not have access to see the data.
It would be most convenient to keep the data in these worksheets but hide it from view of the users.
Is there a way to password protect a users ability to unhide a column?

I have a sheet that is password protected. I have this code attached to a command button. It will unlock the worksheet, autofilter it, print it, unfilter it, and password protect the sheet again. However it is protecting it without a password. I need to have it protected with the password so that someone will not be able to just go to tools to unprotect the sheet.

I want to create a macro that checks whether a specified range of columns is hidden, and
a) hide them if they are not hidden, or
b) unhide them if they are hidden,
i.e. toggle the Hide state.
What method can I use to query the hidden state of a selected range of columns and return a boolean value?
I have a macro in which i can enter the rows i want to hide.
If i want to hide "position 32" i have to enter the number 8 of the row. This works fine. But now if i want to hide the "position 32" from Sheet1 it also should hide the rows 4-8 from Sheet2 [Data with 32].
Or if i hide "position 34" in Sheet1 [row 10] it also should hide the rows 14-18 in Sheet2.
Sub Button294_Click()
If Sheet1.Range("A34:A94") = "HIDE" Then
For Each cell In Range("A27:A94")
If UCase(cell.Value) = "HIDE" Then
cell.EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If
End Sub
I am filtering the data displayed in a chart by hiding columns. I would also like to filter the X-Axis labels by hiding columns. If I do this manually I have no problems but when I run the following macro the chart gives a reference error for the X-axis labels.
Sub ShowA2()
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
num = Sheets.Count
Sheets("X-Axis").Activate
Range(Columns(1), Columns(256)).Select
Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = False
For a = 1 To 5
Sheets(num - a).Activate
If ActiveSheet.Name = "A2 Data" Then
Columns("A:Q").Select
Range("A10").Activate
Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = False
Sheets("X-Axis").Activate
Columns("A:E").Select......................
If A1 is also found below A1 (A2,A3,etc) then "HIDE" otherwise "DON'T HIDE"
I want to create a formula which finds out if a value exists below it in the same column. I could then use a filter to remove rows contain the word "HIDE" which will leave me with only rows with DON't HIDE. Then Column A will only contain unique values.How would I create a formula like this?
how to set password for VBAProject?
i know to protect the spreadsheet
i want to password protect my coding in the VBA Project module ...
When using the a file with VBA based on a button is there any way to add a password to that file at the same time?
That way it can be opened by anyone?
The code below works fine but the user can open the file in fact anyone can once they press the command button I want to add a password so when the file is reopened it requires a password?
Is this some thing vba even does?
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Const PTHNAME As String = "C:Feedback"
Dim FileNameWithDate As String, x As Integer
FileNameWithDate = Format(Date, "yyyymmdd")
x = 1
If Dir(PTHNAME & FileNameWithDate & ".xls") = "" Then
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=PTHNAME & FileNameWithDate & ".xls"
Else
Do Until Dir(PTHNAME & FileNameWithDate & x & ".xls") = ""
x = x + 1
Loop
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=PTHNAME & FileNameWithDate & x & ".xls"

First, I know passwords are easy to break. The point is only to keep the average Excel user in a dept of 3 from accidentally damaging the data.
Normally I hardcode passwords to view xlveryhidden sheets.
But this workbook is for a dept head who has standard password(s) he uses to open or edit a file. I would like to capture these passwords and make it the same password(s) to view a hidden sheet.
This way if he ever changes the password to open/edit it will automatically change the password to view the hidden sheet(s).
How to set a password before executing any action.
For example, I have "cancel" button in my userform. If i click "cancel" it unloads the form. Instead of that i need a password prompt. so when i click the "cancel" button ,it should ask for a password. only if i provide the correct password then only the form should be unloaded.
