I tried very hard to design a leave roster for user to mark their leave application. The criteria are as follows:
1. 4 applications per date
2. a region of worksheet (i.e. "A2 to H20) will be defined for users to "click" on the cells (within the defined region) to mark their application.
3. once a cell is clicked (i.e. marked), it cannot be altered.
4. each click will automatically increase the total by 1.
I got the following code to deal with the situation but user can still click on any cell outside the region (in fact I fail to define the region).
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim m
ad = Mid(ActiveCell.Address, 2, 1)
m = Range(ad & 24).Value 'here a formula "CountA(A2,A20)" will be place in the cell (24, c).......................
I am assigned to a very tedious task which requires me to lock selectively, cells from Jan through to Dec. Instead clicking the cells and selecting the various options from the menu bar, I would like to do it the other way.
If I want to go locking a cell upon selecting it, what are the VB codings?
I'm trying to build an investment calculator. Tried searching "calculator" as keyword but return nothing similiar.
There are eight cell : [ A ][ B ][ C ][ D ][ E ][ F ][ G ][h]
[ H ] is price of the leverage
[A] is X balance
[b] is X lot size
[C] is X amount of money use to get x lot
[D] is X percentage of money use to get x lot
[E] is X point gain
[f] is X money gain
[G] is balance + money gain
Ignore the formulae for leverage to determine 1 lot price. Take 1 lot = 250.
What I'm looking for is when I enter any value at cell B, C or D, it will automatically calculate the value for either B, C or D cell.
Let say, the balance is 10000.
If I enter 2 at cell B. Then, it will calculate the value for cell C & D.
If I enter 750 at cell C, then it will calculate value for cell B & D.
If I enter 25 at cell D, it will calculate value for cell B & C.

How to Lock/Unlock an Excel Cell Based on the Contents of Another Cell?
View 1 Replies View Related=IF(A4='Exported Data'!B2,'Exported Data'!C2,"")
How can I lock A so when I copy over to the right the formula doesn't change that reference to B4?
Is there a way to have the True value (Exported Data'!C2) reference one cell over instead of selecting the cell to reference from?
Need code that would make cell J2 be populated with U no matter what was placed in cell J2 either manually or externally.

The idea being once Y or N is typed that cell can no longer be changed
Currently have a column of cells that after the data has been entered we would like the cell to lock to prevent changes. The sheet is currently protected with the cells in question unlocked (D173:D250). We would like to be able to change the data if we unprotect the sheet. We would also like to be able to add/delete cells (list) in the code as needed.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to write a vba code that does the following....
There is a question in column A to which the user chooses yes or no from column B. Based on the response in column B, I'd like the same row column D to be formatted so that if the anser is yes, the cell is white, and unlocked. If the response is no, the cell is cleared, locked and the greyed out. (e.g. if B4 is "Yes", the format in D4 will change) So far I've come up with the following which formats the colour:
Dim response As Range
For Each response In Range("$C$10:$C$73")
If response.Value = "Yes" Then
response.Select
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).Range("A1").Select
With Selection.Interior
[Code] .......
How to add in a .clearcontents function, so that the contents are cleared if the response is not "yes", and also what I would need to add to unlock the cell in column D?
Is it possible to lock in the formatting that would require 12 digits even if someone was copying and pasting to the cell?
We are looking to make our users add information into cells in the format 0-00000-00000-0. They are often copy and pasting, thus overwritting the custom format we have in those cells.
I've looked at validation, but custom only works for a formula.
I have a multisheet excel workbook that I am programming. I was wondering if there is a way to lock a cell on one sheet after the initial value was put in, allowing me to change it later. This may not be so clear so here is the problem....
I have Workbook1. The input from cell A3 on Sheet1 is 5. I have made a second sheet called Order Form. In cell B5 of Order form I have made it ='Sheet1'!A3. I am looking for a way to be able to change cell A3 on Sheet1, but keep the 5 on Order Form.
I have an sheet(see attached) with some dummy data, now i want to lock (with password) only those cells depending on the dropdown (highlighted in sheet).For eg,if we select A from dropdown of col c and then locked from dropdown of col D , it should lock the complete row(s) of value A in col H and rows with value B shall remain editable.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a range of cells I want to become locked (thus, uneditable), based upon the value of another cell.
For example, if cell A1 is "True," (based on a drop-down, not a formula) I want cells B1:B10 to become locked. I want the user to be able to edit these cells only when A1 is false. Also, the sheet is already passsword protected.
Is there a way I can lock a set of cell to only allow 30 characters or less and if so if they copy and paste they can go over 30 characters in a cell. I can not allow they to go over 30 characters.

I need to have a current row password protected when the value in ActiveCell.Offset(0, 0).Value = "Close"
but just to lock that current row. What I have is a close button on a userform that changes the ActiveCell.Offset(0, 0).Value = "Close", i just need to add another line of code to lock the row.
VB: ActiveCell.Offset(0, 0).Value = "Close" (And lock current row With password 123)
i am having problem with doing team, i would like to lock cell contain formulas but allow users insert row.

View 14 Replies View Related0: i have a sheet 1 protected and few edit range (Col A,B,C,D,E and F).
1: I have a validation on multiple adjacent columns (like Col A, Col C, Col E).
2: I need a code where if i select value in col a (cell A2) cell B2 should get current date and Time and both the cells (A2 and B2) should be locked. when i select data in cell C2 , D2 should get current date and time(Cell C2 and D2 should be protected).
3: User can enter data in A3 and B3 will get current date and Time (now A3 and B3) should be locked.
4: I need a function where user can call it and unlock the locked cells and edit the data and re-lock the cells again.
apart from the Col A,B,C,D,E and F, other columns and cells remain locked.
i have a situation where i want cells c13:e13 to be locked if cell g5 is blank. and same cells will be unlocked only if g5 contains text only.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI wish to be able to lock an entire row after an entry has been made in a certain cell.
e.g. let's say i want to lock row 9 in its' entirety following entry of "Yes" in cell G9. If there is no entry in G9 the the entire row should be still unlocked. Likewise with any row with a corresponding entry in column G.
In the attached example, I need to create a formula for cell I2 (Balance Remaining) that is driven off the most recent calculation (in this case, F68) but still allows for additional rows to be added to the ongoing list of orders. I believe I'm supposed to use an index formula but not sure how to write/apply it? I need to be able to add rows past 68 and still have Cell I2 (Balance Remaining) continue to calculate correctly.

I want to make a spreadsheet which has empty cells for reference numbers that once entered cannot be changed unless it is by the administrator.
i also want the spreadsheet to be accessed on multiple pc's by multiple users.
I'm creating an inventory of cars for a car dealership that has about 27 or so columns and 500 rows for entries. Currently there are 50 rows used to keep track of inventory and with the additional rows for future entries. I want to set it up where the data entered into the cells gets locked automatically when saved and reopened for future use and can only be altered if a password is entered. Table is C3:AE503.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet that evaluates cells against eachother and if they don't match I either delete the whole row, or delete up. When I do this, I have to redo the formula as I get an error.
So I start with: =EXACT(A1,G1).... and once I delete a row or delete "up", I get =EXACT(#REF!,$G3).
I have tried =EXACT(INDIRECT(A1,G1)), =EXACT(INDIRECT($A1,$G1)), and also =EXACT($A1,$G1).
None of these work.
None of the information Ive found on the forums seem to work in my sheet and Im not sure why. After protecting my sheet/workbook, I would like a particular input of a cell to Unlock another cell.
ie if the contents of cell A1 is the phrase "TRUE", then cell B1 will be Unlocked for editing. If the contents of A1 is "FALSE", then B1 shall remain locked. From what i can tell, this must be carried out using VBA code. If anyone can resolve this issue, Id be also very grateful if you could explain what each line of the code means
I am trying to lock any cell within a set range that contains data but I want this only to be activated when the user saves the file.
