Lock A Row With An Entry In Col B On Saving Or Closing Workbook
Feb 15, 2009I have a spreadsheet for recording and summarising particular transactions. Column B records the date and Col C details the transaction type (from a data valdation list). Using conditional formatting the cell (in the same row) to whch the transaction value is to be entered is highlighted.
Other cells in the row contain formulas and are locked and the sheet is password protected.
On saving or closing the workbook I want to lock all the cells (used or unused) in any row in which there is a date in column B. How can I do this?

Excel 2010 :: Auto Lock Selected Range Of Cells After Saving?
Jul 17, 2014I have a log that is used to keep when items are due. I do not want my coworkers to delete items once they have been entered and saved. So the excel sheet I am trying to make has certain cells in a range that I want to autolock after saving. For example: the cell range is G3:J402. I enter Customer Name in Cell G3 and the Date the job was received in H3. Once i enter that information I want it locked once i save it. Then later on, my coworker completes the job and enters the date in I2. And again once she saves this she shouldn't be able to edit this information. Then again another day she comes and enters the date on I3 when the product has been shipped out.
While all of the above activity is going on, new customers are continuously being in added in G4, G5....
Also, if possible the date in the H range should be the date items are entered in G (this would be a nice added feature). I've included the file for review. I'm running Microsoft Excel 2010

Auto Lock Selected Range of Cells After Saving
I should also mention that most solutions either provide for locking/unlocking of all cells but not a selected range. Or they provide for locking/unlocking of a selected range but not for a specific sheet or not after you have saved the workbook.
This is unique in that I'd like it to autolock after i press the save button for a SPECIFIC number of cells. I just wanted to clarify as to not make others think that I haven't used the search function.

View 9 Replies View RelatedLock Data Validation And Yet Permit Cell Editing?
Apr 22, 2009What I'm trying to achieve is to be able to lock the text length of a column so that users can enter text data into that column but not exceed the allowable length for our purposes. I've found a way to use auto loading macros to make a popup if they exceed the set length.
However, that is useless for our purposes because 1) pasting data into the cells as opposed to manually entering data overrides the validation just as it does when you set it with the data validation menus, 2) it requires that macros be activated in the end user's computer which we cannot guarantee will happen. If you lock in the data validation by protecting the worksheet, the end user can't enter data. Do you know of a way to lock in the data validation without using active controls like macros, and yet allow the end user to enter data into the cells. (Perhaps a solution would be to somehow prevent the pasting of data into a cell forcing the data validation to be utilized?)
Cell Data Not To Change When Saving / Altered
Feb 7, 2014[Code] ....
User 1 will enter date in column AA, then data needs to be copied to column CY (data in CY must not change again). I have a if formula that check if any AA and CY is the same. If any changes was done, it will give the cell a "YES" trigger to send a mail.
I think the .value is incorrect.

Saving User Inputted Data From A Worksheet To Another Worksheet And Saving It
Jan 7, 2009I have created a form in a worksheet which I have added questions too and then locked all cells except the ones where I want the answers in.
I have then added a button to the bottom of the sheet called "Print and Save". This work sheet is called "form"
On a second sheet called "database", I have all the titles of the questions running from a -> k and nother else.
What I want to happen is the user input the information on "form" into the boxes available. Once they have completed the questions, I want them to be able to click on "Print and Save" so that firstly the page "form" prints, and then for all of the answers to be saved in "database" below the titles for each question.
I have had a play, but just don't know where to start. Also, once there is a row of questions below the titles, I don't want it to overwrite information already there, it needs to go onto the next empty row available.
Attached is my excel file.
You will see in the code that I have the code for printing.. I just found this on the net and it seems to work fine for me.

Feb 26, 2009i have a query spreadsheet where all business queries are logged. Next to each query you need to select a resolving reason from a drop down list, however i would like some of these to be locked so only certain people could use them.
Lets for ease of use the resolving reasons are the following -
Not paid
Allocated Correctly
Rejected
And say the drop down list is in column P
I would like everyone to use the top 2 but only certain members of the team to be able to use the last one.
I was thinking protect the cells in some way and a worksheet change event of some kind so protect / unprotect depending on the resolving reason.

If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A1:M10000")) Is Nothing Then 'set your range here

Use VBA To Unlock/lock A Worksheet For Data Entry?
Oct 16, 2009I have a worksheet that, unless a form for data entry is activated, should be read-only for columns 'A' thru 'M' and 'O' with column 'N' left editable.
The form is activated by a button with a macro assigned to enter the data in the above columns when the form is closed. This has been compiled and works nicely with the sheet unlocked, however, as i need certain columns to be read-only unless the form is activated, i'm stuck with leaving the whole sheet unlocked for editing with or without the form being activated.
Is there any way a VBA code could be used to unlock the worksheet columns that are read-only when the form is activated, and then lock them once the form data is entered to the worksheet and the form closed?
