How To Protect Cells/columns In Multiple Sheets In A Workbook
Sep 9, 2009
I'm trying to protect the contents of columns in multiple sheets in a workbook. I've tried to group the columns ( - months, i.e. sept, oct, nov 09 through to march 10) but when I go to Protection options the 'sheet' protection option is not available, all I can do is protect or unprotect the entire workbook.
I've also tried to protect the workbook, but individually set the specific columns in each sheet to be protected (repetitious but seemingly unavoidable), but this doesn't work well either as there's now a mix of a protected workbook and protected columns, both with individually set passwords to unprotect... which seems a bit silly.
There must be a way around this? - the columns are H, J, K and L, and the entire contents of the summary sheet '2009-10 Financial Year'... basically I'd like to be able to protect all of the contents of all of the cells here, ideally just with one password.
How to protect multiple sheets in a workbook and not having to protect them 1 by 1. I have copied and pasted all the different macro's/visual basic script that has been posted for that purpose, but I can't get it to work and I'm always getting an error. The error from visual basic says "compile error: invalid outside procedure" and then the visual basic screen shows the following:
Range ("AM52") If Ans >= 0 Then "+."
It does not like the "AM52" part because it is highlighted in the error message.
Also, the error I get from recording my own macro step by step is "Run time error 40036" from visual basic.
Is it possible to automatically have columns repeat through all sheets in a workbook? I keep an annual book, broken down by sheets for each month. I always have to add 5 columns to each sheet, and was wondering if there was an easier way..?
I have a workbook with many sheets labelled as mmm-yyyy. The constant columns in all the sheets are C,E,R,T, and U.
Is it possible to have a macro do the following: Add a sheet called Summary at the end of the workbook. From the last sheet of mmm-yyyy, copy columns C, E, and R to the Summary sheet. Copy columns T and U from all the other mmm-yyyy sheets to the Summary sheet. All the cells need to be centered.
I am using MS Office 2010. I want to count---on multiple sheets---the number of times that a given cell is greater than another cell if and only if a third cell is equal to a given value. I want to do this for 4 sets of data on each sheet. I thought I had it figured out with this formula---
but it returns a value of zero each time. Clearly there is an error in the formula.
Here is some background: -- $H$1:$H$43 is a block of cells that has the names of the sheets in the workbook -- E1 and F1, G1 and H1, I1 and J1, K1 and L1 are the four groups of cells that I am comparing. In the entire workbook, I want to add 1 (counting function) only when: R1=2 AND E1>F1 or S1=2 AND G1>H1 or T1=2 AND I1>J1 U1=2 and K1>L1 on each appropriate sheet in the workbook.
I am trying to create a way to protect and unprotect all sheets and the worbook by means of a Userform pop up interface.
I have managed to create the Userform but what the code will look like and where to place the VBA code that will make it work, Also i would like to automatically save the sheet/s as i switch between them. so that any updates made to the sheet will be automatically saved when i move to the next sheet and also when i protect or close the workbook.
I have a workbook where I password protect each sheet. Is there any way to quickly unprotect all sheets, make changes then protect all sheets. I cannot seem to do this by grouping multiple sheets. the option to unpropect/protect is not available.
I have a spreadsheet with over a hundred tabs, each of which need to be password protected (same password).
I found code on CFO.com that got me half way there. It protects all the spreadsheets, but it does not password protect the macro itself, meaning that anybody can step into the macro and unlock everything at the click of a button.
The code looks like this.
VB: Sub ProtectAllSheets() For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets ws.Protect Password:="secret123" Next ws MsgBox "All Worksheets Protected"
[Code] ....
What can I do to prevent people from stepping into the macro, or prompt a password to actually use the macro itself?
I have an annual leave (vacation) work book with a summary page work sheet and separate work sheets for each month i.e. Jan, Feb, Mar.....to......Dec. In order to protect the formulas I have protected them by allowing only access to the input cells on each work sheet and the protect each work sheet.
When someone either joins or leaves the team I have to manually unprotect each sheet and protect again when I have completed the amendments to each of the 13 tabs.
macro code I would need to unprotect all the works sheets in one go (as I use the same password for all the sheets) and reset the passwords (protect) the sheets with more macro code.
I will be running the two macros from my own personal.xls file and ideally they would be fully automatic i.e. I would not need to input the passwords in to unlock or lock the work sheets as the password would be written in the code already
1.I need to protect certain locked cells from editing and allow certain unlocked cells to be changed on multiple worksheets.
2.When all of the changes are made to the unlocked cells, I need to password protect the entire workbook (except one worksheet) from any changes. (i.e. Prevent even the unlocked cells from being edited)
3.I also need a password to un-protect the workbook and return it to the state described in # 1. above .
Trying to incorporate the following in a worksheet: Lock the cells automatically in the columns that are older than 2 days or more Lock the cells corresponding to today and yesterday using a command button after entering X Copy the sheet multiple times with the same features
I am looking for a code that would copy the data from each worksheet in a given workbook and then paste to just one worksheet within a different workbook. The Sheet names are auto generated when I run this canned report but the naming structure is always the same...the first worksheet is named Repair Details and then the next sheet is named Repair Details_1, the next sheet is named Repair Details_2 and so on for every sheet in workbook. So I would like to copy all of the data(Headers to last cell) and then paste in a worksheet(ex: Master Repair Report.xlsx and the worksheet could be titled Master Repair Details) on a different workbook, then the next sheet would copy from the one under the header to the last record and paste to the same workbook. This process would repeat for every worksheet in the Repair Details Workbook and paste to Master Repair Details worksheet in the Master Repair Report workbook.
I have about 20 workbooks with different file names for different projects all saved in the same folder. Each workbook has about 10 worksheets and each worksheet is named in a similar fashion in each of the 20 workbooks (eg. revenue, cost, variance etc.). I want to pull out a worksheet named ' forecast' from each workbook into a master workbook so that the master workbook would contain the 20 forecast worksheets.
I'm trying to do is develop a formula to: - look at one column in sheet 1 and if a value in that column equals a value in another column in sheet2. then, display an X
I have 8 different files all have a set of data in them
each one has a long list of (column a-n) however the number of rows change by date. I need each file copied into the finalfile.xls one after another. in the files that will be merged into the final file the final row i need copied is blank. I have all the copy formulas and everything set, I just need a range to copy that automaticaly takes cell a10 to the first blank a cell from each file and pastes it in the finalfile.xls under the last paste so they dont over write each other.
I am looking for some code to copy the exact values in a couple sheets over to a new workbook. There are images in the sheet that need to come over and formatting of cells including merging.
Trying to sort on multiple sheets in the workbook. The range that is to be sorted will vary on each sheet, so i would like to write the range as .end(xlDown).Row and then do the sort. So far, what I have written is giving me a type mismatch error
Code: .Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=Range("B2:B" And Range("B2")).End(xlDown).Row, _ SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal
I have this one sheet (File 1) where I have the unique codes of people and am trying to perform a vlookup() for a value by specifying the lookup in a dfferent workbook (File 2) but multiple sheets. In other words the data (unique codes) is scattered in different sheets in that workbook (File 2). I need to perform a vlookup() wherein the codes finds a match in whichever sheet in File 2 and the value in the specified column be entered against the respective cell in File 1.
I tried selecting all the sheets in the formula but it does not return a value for all the inactive sheets in File 2. Vlookup() works fine for the Active sheet only.
I have a workbook that contains 25 worksheets and in those sheets there are common items for different equipment, all the sheets are exactly the same when it comes to lay out, except the first sheet, the data differs accordingly on the subsequent sheets. Being new to excel I do not have a clue how to set a seach box at the click of a button and copy and paste the part searched for thru all the sheets in the first sheet and at the same time deletes the latest search when a new one is carried out.
I expect this may have been done before, I have a workbook with 6 sheets. Each sheet lists a register, each register has between say 12 & 25 column, 1 column in each sheet denotes a "y" for exporting to another spreadsheet (not the same column in each sheet though)
what I would like is some code that will open a new workbook, and copy each of the sheets (all the fields/columns etc) into the new book, but only the lines that have the "y" next to them.
I have codes that export one sheet , but its not really relevant to what i need to do.
