When I protect the entire sheet, I can click in a cell and see what's in it, when I protect just a portion of the sheet, I can only click in the unprotected cells. Is this an Excel thing, or am I doing something wrong when protecting? I would like to see what the formula is in the cell when protected, but I can't click on the cell, what's the deal?

Is there a way to password protect a sheet so that you have to enter a password just to access it. I dont want most users to be even able to view one sheet unless they have the password.

I have an excel workbook I'm working on, and it needs to be protected. I have some groups that can be expanded or hidden, but once the sheet is protected you can no longer use the little button to hide or expand the group.
Any way to transfer the sheet protection from one worksheet to another worksheet via VBA.
Currently, the user selects a name from a drop down list, it unhides a workbook of the same name, copies from that workbook, and places the copied information in an area of the sheet with the drop down list. I would like the protection settings (in this case, selectivly unlocked cells to allow users to easily tab through and not make changes to data that should not be changed) to be copied with this information. Is this possible?
I have a piece of code with a couple of errors. The code selects a certain row and then copies and inserts this row on the last line with data, the number of rows is decided by the user via a form. The line of code with the error is highlighted, think it is a syntax/grammar error.
Code:
Sub InsertRows()

' Inserting Rows
ActiveSheet.Unprotect
FormRowInsert.Show
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

I have a workbook with about 70 sheets, some are specific for data entry, others for data review.
I share the workbook with my data entry team, and lock the review sheets so that no one can modify the data on them or change the formating. End users review the final protected sheets for the information that is appropriate to them.
I need to track the status of the protection of each sheet, such that I can edit the sheets as needed, then protect / lock them once I am done.
Is there a way to indicate, in a cell within the indvidual sheets, the status of protection for that sheet?
For example, if the sheet is protected, the Cell would read "LOCKED" and if the sheet is not protected, the cell would read "EDIT".
I've been using the attached spreadsheet to record daily sales for a while now, however, we've recently intorduced a new product and so I've had to add a new column to record daily sales of it.
On the spreadsheet is a 'New Week' button. Pressing this deletes all entries and moves the week numbers on by 1, so giving me a blank template each week. However, after the addition of the new column I'm now getting a bug error message. I've adjusted the code to take account of the new column but I'm still getting a bug error. When I press 'debug' it's highlighting something I have changed so I'm a little confused why I'm getting the bug error. Would someone have a look for me. I only seem to get the bug when there is protection on the sheet, I need protection. The password is PHUKET38
I have 2 spreadsheets: in a Sheet1 I keep some values and in a Sheet2 5 names of users with special rights (range A1:A5). I want to have sure that anybody will change/delete that names without password. Only the user "Administrator" can do that(I check the name of the user using "Application.UserName"). Additional question: is it possible to still protect those cells if somebody turn off macros during opening file?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have hidden columns on a sheet.
I protect the sheet with a password before I send out the file to a 3rd party. However, it seems that all a user has to do is select the sheet cells, copy and paste onto another sheet or file. The protection is nonexistant and the user is able to unhide the columns.
Am I missing something?
Is there a way to "really" protect a sheet so that a user is unable to unhide confidiential columns? Preferably a method without VBA code.
I found one of your old VBA entries that allowed me to automatically refresh an autofilter function, and it works great.... with protection off.
As soon as I protect the sheet so users can't enter data into the pages showing the autofiltered data, the autofilter kicks off.
i have set the protection to allow autofiltering, so it's something that is preventing the macro (for automatically updating/refreshing the autofilter).
I'd love to either fix the macro to "autorefresh autofilter" with protection on, or just enter another code that will disable all functionality on the worksheet. (workbook is set up with multiple sheets, first sheet is for all data entry, subsequent sheets are filtered data-trying to make them viewable only).
I have a form that will be populated with different numbers of records. I need the records to be locked, but the remaining rows (if the user needs to add new records) to be unlocked. Can I use some sort of range.end function for this?
View 9 Replies View RelatedOne of the things it does throughout the course of the run is unprotect the worksheet, do what it needs to and then reprotects the sheet (using a password). On the second run, the sheet protection input box is shown and I am required to input the password before the code will execute.
The code that I have written uses an Add-in that pulls data from a database. As part of that retrieval, the other add-in protects the sheet without a password. Would that be causing my error?
I am using the macro below to import every spreadsheet into a folder. I would like to modify it to check the sheets it is importing for sheet protection. If the sheet protection is turned on, I would like it to turn it off. The password for the sheet protection will be "PIR".

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a "Menu" workbook that has 1 sheet named "MyMenu" which only has macros and Hyperlinks on it.
I would like to add a second sheet to this workbook named "SetUp".
Next, as an example, I would have the user list 20 Excel Workbook.xls files on the 2nd sheet (SetUp sheet) in Cells A1 thru A20 (as my example). In column B, directly adjacent to each file, they would enter a generic name of their choice, representing each file. These are files that they would be using frequently. The file names would be entered in cells B1 thru B20.
Now, I need 20 macros on "MyMenu" that can open these appropriate files listed on the SetUp sheet. As an example, I could have 20 macros that are located in Column D on "MyMenu". They could be located in cells D5 thru D24.
2 Things I want these macros to do . . .
First . . .
The Generic name would be displayed in the appropriate cell in column D so that the user would know which workbook they are going to open.
And Second . . .
Clicking on the Generic name would open the associated file.
NOTE: If the user were to enter a new file name in one of the cells in column A and a new Generic name, the name for the macro on "MyMenu" would automatically be changed and the new file name would be opened when the macro was clicked.
RE-STATED:
What I am looking for is a way of running macros from "MyMenu" sheet by clicking on any paticular macro I want to run just like normal . . . but, I want the macro on "MyMenu" to open the file that is listed in column A of the SetUp sheet.
REASON:
"MyMenu" has to be a locked sheet. Therefore, the user can not enter or change macros on "MyMenu". I actually have 5 or 6 macros that I would like them to be able to change, but again, "MyMenu" has to be "Password" protected. Additionally, many of the users simply don't know anything about macros or hyperlinks

I have an Excel Workbook that is linked to Word.docm files and I want to put them on a CD, But I need for it to have a setup/uninstall format attached. Or maybe you might have a better method. The reasons for the setup/uninstall is for the unknowing person, with limited computer skills. This way from the autorun to setup/uninstall it will already give a destination to install file and add an icon on desktop. More user friendly.

Some "Clever" person decided to create a site plan using MS Excel. It has been done quite well tbh. The problem with Excel is that I am unable to set a custom page size as this plan sits nicely on a paper size I made ealier through using Word. Guess what there is a custom page size selection on Word but not Excel. Is there a walkaround for this ?
The only other way I can do this, is to print off 2 a4 landcape print out but the printer goes to the next page and leaves a nasty seperation.

We have 100+ clients. Each client has inventory in our warehouse. Every day we write down how many items went out to our client on a piece of paper and subtract that number to get a balance inventory. When we run low, we order more on a new FO number. What is the best approach for tracking this? I was thinking one way is to put our clients in a drop box at the top of the page and then the data will appear at the bottom, however I can't get that to work. I am trying filters to see, but I am unable to subtract the balance automatically from the last FO# and from the correct area.
Is there a way to choose a client and product at the top of the page and have the tracking below?
