How To Protect The Worsksheet Name From Modification
Oct 8, 2008
I have an Excel template with 10 Worksheet(tabs). 8 of the sheets have predefined charts built based on the data in first 2 sheets. Through a web application user downloads data on the first 2 sheets. A macro is then executed (at the end of the download) to Update (through Macro) the charts in the remaining sheets and the sheets are password protected. The idea here is that user can generate predefined charts from the downloaded data but cannot modify any information. In addition to that user need an ability to add additional sheets to generate custom reports/charts.
So my requirement is to protect the 10 predefined sheets from modification including the modification of sheet name/deletion of sheet but allow user to add additional sheets. Protecting the workbook does not allow user to add additional sheets. Protecting individual sheets doesn't prevent user from renaming the sheet names.
I did modify some codes inside my addin, then did save the modified addin file by pressing the save icon from the VBA window..........but i found that the addin file was saved without the modification made to it. so i lost all modification did to the file. i donot know what i did wrong ?
I have been modifying the options available on my right click menu, getting rid of about half of what was there and adding items I use quite often like Paste Values, Paste Formats, Paste Formulas, Sort..., AutoSum, and Format as Percent, as well as adding group dividers. I have it just the way I want it, but I have one issue. If the clipboard is empty, all of the paste buttons are disabled on the Standard toolbar and in the Edit menu as are the Paste and Paste Special... items on the right click menu, but the new paste items I added to my right click menu are still enabled. If I click on one, I get a "PasteSpecial method of Range class failed" error because I have no range selected. I got around this by adding On Error Resume Next to the macros of my added paste functions - not elegant, but functional. Is there a way to have those items appear grayed out and disabled on my right click menu when the clipboard is empty as opposed to my current workaround?
I have a small sub routine below I would like to make a slight modification to. The routine currently references formatting relative to the Offset statement in bold below. Instead, I would like the formatting to come from a cell address listed in a cell just to the left of the cursor when the statement is encountered.
way to save user-settings at runtime, preferably in the same or another module. For example: how can I save a bundle of variables such that the next time excel is started and the workbook is opened, the user can continue to work with his personal settings?
Background: Using the macro, I am writing on atm, a user will be able to adjust the macro according to his input-samples. Here the columns and rows of an input can be varied to fit the macros requirements. It would be great if those settings could be stored, irrespectively of where the file currently resides. That is, best it would be, if the source-code itself could be changed ... maybe by adding another module?
i was able to setup a email code, which will automatically extract the unique row reference data and sends the email. However, i am struggling to add couple of things, i searched most of the web portals .. wasn't lucky.
1. while email drafting i need to use the data from Column B onwards
2. i need to insert the default email signature during email draft ...
I have a macro that I found on the net for copying a filtered selection and copying to a new sheet. I would like to alter it slightly so that it just clears the sheet called 'Interval tasks' instead of deleting it and creating a new one.
I don't know if a macro is necessary, but the built in Insert -> Insert copied cells -> Shift cells down function can't accomplish what I require.
I've pasted in two example tables for what I'd like to do. For the first table, the data in column C is a name and the cells from columns D-Z, rows 7-10 is what I want to copy and paste from row 12, column D; row 13, column D; etc, etc. However, I want the full rows below the name in column C to move down when I paste from column D. Using the Insert function on the Insert blade only gives me the data in columns D-Z moving down.
The second pasted table gives an example of how I want it to look.
it's possible to set a "key" for a vlookup so that one of the parameters of that key can be any value? For example if the data set key used in the lookup contains a concatenation of 4 parameters (a_b_c_d), is there anyway to modify the lookup array key so that the "c" parameter can be anything, ie. something like a_b_*_d ?
I'm using a script that when you double click on a cell containing Data Validation > List it changes to a combo box that has an autocomplete/increased columns view...It's working great, however there are two small modifications I would love to do and am not having much success with. Currently, you double click the cell w/the Data Validation > List in it, it then changes to a combo box and you can auto complete using the keyboard or select the dropdown and choose from an increased list. However, I would like to be able to simply single click on the cell, have it change to the combo box and auto expand the list if possible.
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, _ Cancel As Boolean) Dim str As String Dim cboTemp As OLEObject Dim ws As Worksheet Dim wsList As Worksheet Set ws = ActiveSheet Set wsList = Sheets("Rep Assist Report") Cancel = True Set cboTemp = ws.OLEObjects("RepName1") On Error Resume Next With cboTemp .ListFillRange = "" .LinkedCell = "" .Visible = False End With On Error Goto errHandler If Target.Validation.Type = 3 Then.....................
I wanted to add the date of the last modification of the file to the printed pages, so I googled how to do it and found a useful answer on this from from 10 years ago. It said to press ALT+F11, then on the left side go under VBAProject, there go to ThisWorkbook and there paste the next code:
Code:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean) For Each wk In Worksheets With ActiveSheet.PageSetup .LeftHeader = "Last Modified on " & ActiveWorkbook.BuiltinDocumentProperties.Item("Last Save Time") .CenterHeader = ""
[Code]....
Then I saved it and closed. Like I said, it worked perfectly.
The problem is that when I open the file after closing it, it does not appear, and I have to paste the code again every time I open it. Not only is this not comfortable, it also counts as a modification, so even if I haven't changed the work sheets themselves, just wanted to open and print it, it shows today's date.
My question is, who to I save it permanently so it will remain always after the first time I created it?
While we're at it, if there's a way for that code to appear on every NEW Excel file I create automatically
In sub which will convert file to PDF and save it to assigned folder and then attach it to email in outlook. All works fine.
However is is possible to modify the code to save fole to respective month folder ( as per current date and year)?
e.g. I have created folder Named 'Trial' in C drive . This has sub folders 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 Each year folder will have sub-sub folders month wise like This has sub folders as Jan , Feb , Mar , Apr .... till Dec Now e.g. if date when the pdf was created is 23/4/14 then it is saved in C:Trials2014Apr automatically. Currently every year I keep creating new folders etc... bit primitive though.
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.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() ActiveSheet.Unprotect "rainforest" Columns("O:O").Select Selection.AutoFilter Selection.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:=">0", Operator:=xlAnd ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, Collate:=True Selection.AutoFilter Field:=1 Selection.AutoFilter ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True _ , AllowSorting:=True, AllowFiltering:=True End Sub
I would like to protect the intellectual property of an application and have read differing opinions of the merits of protecting VBA code. What are the opinions of the experts on this forum? Are the password breaker programs so advanced that protecting code is a waste of time and only a hinderance to debugging and troubleshooting?
I am using MS Excel 2003 (11.5612) on XP.
I apologize if this topic has already been covered on this forum. I searched but did not find exactly what I was looking for. I am happy to review an old post if one exists.
In my case I have my data's on FW Group IP (tab) and FW Service Group (tab) and there is another tab called FW Rule Base (tab) and need any changes on the FW Group IP (tab) Row B to reflect on FW Rule Base (tab) row E. However I am also running Data Validation so that the FW Rule Base (tab) row E can have the drop down selection from FW Group IP (tab).
I make excel file that contains certain formulas and graphs. Now I wonder is that a way for protect that file so it can be used only on specific cumputer, so if someone copy that file and paste it on their computer file will not work properly

what i try to do is to protect the range from A1 to D4 , which means to not edit any data in the day that before today , and to do it automaticaly every time i open the sheet how to make that micro
Is there a button to protect a workbook in the same way that you can protect sheets? For example, I don't want a user to be able to touch any locked cells and there's multiple worksheets in this workbook. Do I have to go to each worksheet and protect them or is there a button to protect all worksheets at once?
I have created an Excel workbook and protected the sheet. However, it still allows me go into the VBA section (Alt+F11) and edit away to their heart's content.
How can I protect my spreadsheet, as well as the VBA associated with it?
My user form has a line of code that protects the sheets and does not allow any changes and selection of cells. It worked great on my personla computer.
Running the file on another computer the code does not protect the sheet. The strange thing is that if I go the Tools>Protection> the options is set to Unprotect. That measn that the code actually has protected the sheet but I am still able to make chages. If I manually unprotect and again protect the sheet, it is protected till the time close the file and open it again.
Dear sirs,with best regards,i have in attached example file some cells i have protected them by ( tools-protect ) which is the general way for protection,for special purpose i ask you kindly to help me by:
creating a buttons with macros to protect and unprotect the ( cells,columns,rows,and all the sheet) that i need to protect them, when i want to (protect or unprotect) i have to click these buttons.
