I have a range of columns ( J:AH) which i have to hide from the user interface.In order to unhide, the editor must enter a 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.
View 9 RepliesSome 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?
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 selected sheets and when i want to unhide them, ask for password to unhide the sheets.
View 10 Replies View RelatedMy problem is that I need column B:B to hide if it's not hidden, if it is hidden to be unhidden via the textbox password box but I don't want the textbox to appear when hitting the button to hide which it does and that then causes me to have to hit the cancel button to leave the column hidden. Here is the code I came up with:
Sub PasswordBoxCode()
ActiveSheet. Unprotect ("13792468")
Columns("B:B").Select
If Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = False Then Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = True
If Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = True Then PasswordBox.Show
ActiveSheet.Protect ("13792468")
Range("A1").Select
End Sub
And then for the userform code I have this:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
If TextBox1.Value = "1379" Then
ActiveSheet.Unprotect ("13792468")
Columns("B:B").Select
Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = False........................
I've come across a spreadsheet where certain rows and columns (typically top rows or left columns) are hidden; however, there's no way to unhide them (the unhide function is grayed out) and it doesn't seem to be protected or no visible macros/vba on the file.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet that has 28 columns for time entries. Typically only the first 12 columns are used, so I would like to hide the remaining 16 columns (which makes the spreadsheet much more user-friendly). It would probably be nearly impossible to teach all of them how to Unhide the remaining columns (and re-Hide), plus I would like to use the full-screen function when employees enter thier times. I would like to use a form control in the column heading so that when the employees 'check' it, it will Unhide and then re-Hide the columns. Any way to do this? Seems like a VB thing to me (out of my league, but would be happy to add one in!).
View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to create two buttons.. one name HIDE and the other UNHIDE.
What I need hide button to do when i click it is hide the 4 columns to the right (not always going to be columns b:e)
For the unhide button unhide the 4 columns to the right (not always going to be columns b:e)
I once saw an excel sheet where I could hide or unhide a section by some + and - signes above the column-letters.... I have searched for this but I only get the ordinary hide/unhide solutions.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm looking to make a simple button that would hide a given range of columns.
This is the simplest I could find:
VB:
Sub button1()
Columns("AD:AE").EntireColumn.Hidden = Not Columns("AD:AE").EntireColumn.Hidden
End Sub
Although this works nicely, there was another way to do it (looks more ergonomic and doesn't take up spreadsheet space). Here's a screenshot of what I mean: ColumnHide.gif
I have a single button I want to use to call a macro to:
1.Hide columns C:AZ if they arent already hidden
2.Unhide columns C:AZ if they are already hidden.

Above code is working with 2 cases now is it possible to add 3rd case Hide Or Unhide Range("H:GG,GI:HJ,HO:IV") in the same code, and shows the Range("A:G, GH, HK:HN")
Resume: my request
Step1-if I run macro First time it must Hide Range("H:FV,GG:IV") and shows the Range("A:G, FW:GF")
Step2-If I run macro Second time it must Hide Range("H:GG,GI:HJ,HO:IV") and shows the Range("A:G, GH, HK:HN")
Step3-if I run macro third time it must show all columns
And repeat same cycle all time Step 1 to 2, Step2 to 3 and Step3 to 1
I have a worksheet with a fair amount of data. It is split into two parts: the main part is a table with data in columns D to AR while the other part is simply a list with checkboxes against each item. I have set things up so that when a checkbox is ticked against an item in the list, then a 2 appears in row 2 above the relevant column in the main table; if the checkbox is unticked then a 2 appears above the relevant column.
What I seek is a macro that will hide all columns that do not have the associated item ticked; in other words, I want columns to be hidden if there is a 1 in the relevant cell in Row 2 (and visible if there is a 2 there).
I have used the following code (obtained from this forum), but it doesn't work as expected. When I select the items, the cells in Row 2 react as expected, but the hiding and unhiding only occurs when I go to another Worksheet and then return to the Worksheet where the data is. Obviously I want the macro to work immediately I tick or untick a checkbox. What is wrong with the code I have used?
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
Call HideCols
End SubSub

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a speadsheet that has 27 columns for time entries, however employees seldom need to use more than the first 12 columns. I need to protect the sheet but would like the employees to be able to Unhide the columns when they need to use them, then reHide them. I can't find this as an option in either 2003 or 2007.

I have draft VBA code as follows:
I'm looking for a macro to hide and unhide columns..
Book1 is where I want my macro to sit with 1 cell showing the period number 1-12.
Book2 is where my data is dispalayed (I've got about 44 of these to update)
B4:M4 in book 2 (and all data sheets) has the period number in it.
I would like to be able to update the period in book1, run the macro, and end up with book 2 showing column A, the current period column, column N.
I'm fairly new to writting macro's and think I'll be able to addapt the formula to work for 44 sheets once I have it working for 1!
Need a macro for each button.
The sheet will be protected with a password (in the future, users will have varied access privileges).
Column A is designated as the "Button" Column.
There are 5 buttons here. Each representing the area on the sheet that needs to be viewed. Once the button is pressed, it takes you to that section of the sheet. At this time, I have designated each column area as:
a-z
aa-az
ba-bz
ca-cz
da-dz
I have tried this formula with opening tabs, but this won't work.
I need to write a macro that will hide and unhide columns based on a cells value. I know how to write it to hide and unhide rows, but i can figure it out for columns.
For the rows I am using the following:
Sub HideRowsSavings()
Dim LR As Long, i As Long
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With Sheets("Savings #4")
LR = .Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
[Code] ......
I am trying to hide or unhide columns E:BL depending if the the cell value in row 54 contains a value (Note cells in row 54 contain formulas). I have written the following code but get a runtime error on the else statement.
Sub UpdateCashflow()
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
ActiveSheet. Unprotect Password:="LD"
ActiveSheet.Select
Dim c As Integer
For c = 5 To 64
If Cells(54, c) = "" Then
ActiveSheet.Range(Cells(54, c)).EntireColumn.Hidden = True
Else
ActiveSheet.Range(Cells(54, c)).EntireColumn.Hidden = False
End If
Next c
ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="LD", DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True
Application.EnableEvents = True
'
End Sub
I've attached one speadsheet :- "VBA.xls". The following conditions are to be done:-
1. When D2=1, Column "F","G" are visible & Column "I","J","L","M" are hidden.
2. When D2=2, Column "I","J" are visible & Column "F","G","L","M" are hidden.
3. When D2=3, Column "L","M" are visible & column "F","G","I","J" are hidden.
When my spreadsheet opens it automatically protects the sheets using the following
With Sheet1
.Protect Password:=SpreadsheetPassword, UserInterfaceOnly:=True
.EnableOutlining = True
End With
and I use the following to hide the column if the toggle button on my form is 'true'. The problem is it gives an error if the sheet is protected. it worksfine without protection.
If ToggleButton1.Value = True Then
Range("column_calories").EntireColumn.Hidden = True
Else
Range("column_calories").EntireColumn.Hidden = False
End If
I have a spreadsheet with a number of sheets two of which contain tables with many columns with a date heading, I would like a means for the user to select a range of dates and for the spreadsheet to automatically hide any columns that don't fall within this range.

I am trying to hide/unhide columns based on what is return to cell C2 from this lookup (=VLOOKUP(B2,GM!E2:M129,9,FALSE)). It can only return 3,6 or 9
If it returns 3 I want to hide columns I:P
If it returns 12 I want to hide columns E:L
If it returns 6 I want to hide E:H and M:P
I have been trying to work with this code which I found on this forum but I haven't been able to get it working fully. It only works when C2 is entered rather than calculated and I can't get it working for the M:P part of the third option.
Code:

Dim Changed As Range
Set Changed = Range("C2")
If Not Intersect(Target, Changed) Is Nothing Then
Range("A:Z").EntireColumn.Hidden = False
