How to Disable Paste into Certain Cells (using VBA)
(ctrl + v, right click paste & paste special, menu paste/paste special)
I want every type of paste possible to be disabled for those cells listed below. (the cells cant be locked, its ok for the user to "TYPE" in the cell just not paste.)
it was possible to disable pasting in an Excel workbook. He didn't want Copy disabled, as he needed to paste data out of this tool into other workbooks, but just wanted Paste and Paste Special disabled while viewing this particular workbook.
Public Sub TogglePaste(booPaste As Boolean) Dim cmb As CommandBar, cbc As CommandBarControl, cbp As CommandBarPopup Dim cbpEdit As CommandBarPopup, cbcPaste As CommandBarControl Set cmb = Application.CommandBars(1) For Each cbp In cmb.Controls If cbp.ID = 30003 Then Set cbpEdit = cbp Next cbp For Each cbc In cbpEdit.Controls If cbc.ID = 22 Or cbc.ID = 755 Then Set cbcPaste = cbc cbcPaste.Enabled = booPaste End If............................
I need to be able to prevent any user from cutting and pasting data in one of my spreadsheets. I have protected it all, removed cut and paste from the options- edit tab, but you can still cut and paste with the right mouse shortcut key.
I have a workbook in which i do not want the end user to be able to drag and drop cells. I noticed that when I set this in the Excel options to disallow this, it is local to the machine. Is there a way I can prevent others from dragging and dropping cells, through vba or other means, without changing the users local machine settings? I also need to prevent CUT and pasting of cells. I also need to leave the cells un-protected, becuase COPY and paste is ok, as it doesnt affect the formulas that refer to the cell. The worksheet and workbook are both protected.
I have workbook having 3 sheets out of them 1 sheet name "report". I want vba to disable copy /past option to sheet Report only with msg " copy not allowed" if key clt+c or copy option selected
I Have a spreadsheet in which data is spreading into column A-Z. I would like to disable copy, paste, ^V,^R,^C, ^D for certain columns (Q-U) of the workbook so that user is forced to enter data manually on these columns.
I would like to disable cut/copy/paste and maybe delete inside a worksheet. Reading earlier threads on this subject provided the code to put in the ThisWorkbook module, where it works great for all my worksheets. However, there is one worksheet where it is necessary to have copy/paste, either with control c or right click/copy. Here is part of that code provided by Tom Urtis:
Private Sub Workbook_Activate() Application.CutCopyMode = False Application.OnKey "^c", "" Application.CellDragAndDrop = False End Sub
What do I replace Application with to work on just the worksheet level?
Private Sub Workbook_Activate() Application.CutCopyMode = False Application.OnKey "^c", "" Application.CellDragAndDrop = False End Sub Private Sub Workbook_Deactivate()
[Code] .......
OR This one:
Option Explicit Private Sub Workbook_Activate() With Application .CutCopyMode = False .CellDragAndDrop = False
[Code] ........
I noltice that one uses "Option Explicit" and one doesn't, one seems to be longer than the other, but when I tested both, they both seem to do the same thing. I did notice that neither one of them prevents a "paste" into the worksheet when something is copied from an outside source, but that is not a concern right now!!!
I have several cells in a column for the user to input data, and then a "submit" button. It is a very basic sheet to take user input and store it on another sheet and then manipulate(pivot) and display(graphs) on respective sheets.
Is it possible to remove gridlines and disable all cells on the input sheet except for those that take input, currently validation cells. The main reason is when the user hits tab or lets say enter it moves to the next field for data entry as opposed to through the two empty cells between that are there for spacing. Also to disable them from editing the text that poses the questions(labels): "
I have produced an order form and one of the columns is 'availibility' with all cells in this column set to a validation list containing 'Yes,No'.
If the user selects 'no' for a particular item's availibility, i want that row of cells to disable in some way. i.e change colour to grey and become locked.
If the user selects 'yes' the row for that item will remain unlocked and will not change colour.
I am trying to create an advanced spreadsheet in excel that caters for people who really need to be told exactly what to do and what not to do. So based on the selection in column A I want to disable and change the background colour of some cells as follows (but only disable the cells on the same row):
columnA = Number then disable cells D, F, G and change to red columnA = Link then disable cells E, F, G and change to red columnA = Image then disable cells D, E and change to red
I have several data validation style drop down menus, and I basically don't want excel to recognize changes in these cells and execute a calculation of the entire workbook. Since there is a large number of calculations being performed in the workbook the sheet gets really slow.
Overall the way excel "automatically calculates" really screws me up a lot. This built in functionality could be a lot smarter in my opinion.
Essentially, I'm creating a spreadsheet which contains a list of staff in rows, and the months of the year as columns. It is to record certain company checks which must be done (e.g. driving licence check). When a check is complete, the date it was done is entered under the corresponding month. Certain checks (e.g. driving license) only need to be done every 6 months. What I'm trying to do is find a formula/vba to look at each row, determine where (which month) the date was entered in, and grey out the 5 months in front, meaning the next check is required in 6 months time.
Ideally, the frequency of this check is dynamic, and can reference a cell (e.g. might change to every 3 months etc).
I want create something (a macro), maybe ending in a button to activate or desactivate the update (relatively) of the charts and relative cells in one of various sheets i use!
I am currently trying to keep the print feature disabled in excel untill any of three specific cells are filled out. So that any of the following possibilities would work:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean) If IsEmpty(Range("A2,H2,P2")) Then Cancel = True End If End Sub
This code works for A2 but I can't get it to work for H2 or P2. i.e. print will be enabled if A2 has content and disabled if all three cells are blank, but if A2 is empty and H2 has content print will remain disabled.
I am using excel 2010. When I click on cells on one column, something like text box will pop up with information related to that column. How can I get rid of this text box. How to disable this text box which I think it has a link between the text box and cells on that column.
How would you prevent the copy/paste of cells that have comments?
Also, how would you allow cells with comments to be copied and pasted without pasting the comments?
I also have an aside question about the forum advanced search. When searching for multiple search words, how would you type the search to include all words, for example, "prevent" & "paste" & "comments".
I am using code to filter my 4 sheets Greater then 0 (zero)
After apply above filter now i need to copy multiple rows and paste on another specific workbook for paste i m using below code:
for 1st sheet with the name ("V2")
for 2nd sheet with the name("LV")
For 3rd sheet with the name ("F2")
and 4th sheet with the name("L2")
If I play above code one by one all is going very well,,,,,,or if use in this way all is going very well
But here is a big problem..........if any sheet have no value greater then 0(zero)....then code paste all data... e.g shssts("LV") .Range("C5:C54").Copy but C5:C54 have no data greater then 0(zero) and it will paste on another sheet c5:c54 and again new sheets data will paste below the c54 while c5:c54 have no data.
So I want if any sheet have no data with range is greater then 0(Zero) then skip the copy paste code or use like SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible) .
I have data in some of the cells within range A26:A39
These cells are populated via an IF function on another worksheet. Even though the cells appear blank (as in the value returned is ""), there is a formula in these cells. I think it's called formula blank?
I am looking for a way to copy the data from the cells within the range which are not blank (ie: not = "") and paste this data elsewhere on the sheet in a list with no blank spaces in between.
I anticipate that there will be 4 non blank cells within this range.
Ideally I would have data from the nonblank cells copied and pasted to cells A40 A41 A42 A43
