I need to lock a worksheet tab (Main menu) in place so that it is always visible. There are multiple tabs that are all linked to the main menu by hyperlink. When work is finished in a worksheet I want the main menu tab to be visible and usable rather than using the scroll functions to get back to the main menu.
View 9 RepliesI have code written to auto save the active worksheet when a button on my user form is pressed. What I would like to know is if there is a way to lock the worksheet when the button that triggers the save event is pressed behind the scenes so the end user has a more difficult time editing the sheet. I know they can just resave the document and the protection will be gone, but for minimizing user manipulation.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an excel workbook we use for quoting jobs. All our pricing references are in another workbook on our network. I have reference in the 'quoting' workbook that refer to the 'pricing' workbook.
The trouble is, when some users open the 'quoting' workbook, and have another Excel file open, some references to the 'pricing' workbook change to the other file they have open.
I suppose there is some sort of replicable condition that is happening, but I can't figure out what is going on or why.
So my question is: Can I ' lock' an in-cell reference to an external workbook so that it NEVER changes?
I tried hand entering the reference (network location+workbookname+sheetname) into a cell and then referencing that cell, but I couldn't get that to work.
So I am trying to create a budget worksheet for past and future expenses, basically an excel checkbook with running balance
In Column A I have my debits/credits
In Column B I have my running balance so that there is a current total next to each of the debit/credits in column A, it is formulated as follows, it adds the cells directly above it to the cell directly to the left of it (i.e. Cell B10 = B9+A10, which was dragged and iterated to many cells below)
I wan to be able to drag in drop cells in the A column (Just moving them up and down different cells in the A column) with out it changing formulas in the B column.
I tried the $ trick so that for example B10 = B9+$A$10 but if I moved cell A9 to say A10, I get a reference error in cell B10 (why is it doing this when B10 is locked with $)
I then tried going to format and locking the B column and not the A column and then protected the document but I still get the same REF error.
I know I can copy and paste with out effecting it but this is tedious, the whole reason I did this was so that I can move around bills EASILY and play around with what get paid when. There has to be a way to do this, but I'm probably searching with the wrong keywords.
It is possible to lock the Author of the Worksheet in File --> Properties --> Summary Tab..?
I am using Excel 2003 & 2007..
I have a worksheet that is protected with data entry cells unlocked.
1. Unprotect worksheet
2. Lock all cells in the worksheet and then protect.
3. After a date in a cell in the worksheet.
I'm a newbie to vba and at least know vba is the only way. And this need to be automated.
I 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?
Is it possible by using Visual Basic coding to position an image on a worksheet so that no matter what the screensize is it will always appear in the center of the screen, a corner or a side?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI can only view one worksheet at a time with a particular spreadsheet. There are no tabs to click at the bottom of the screen to view the other worksheets. In excel 2007, if I click on View, then Full Screen, I get the tabs (so I can view the different worksheets) but then I lose the menu and formula bar (so when I click on a cell I can only see its contents and not the formula). I need to see the formula that is applied. This has not happened with other S/Sheets, just this particular one. what else I can do to view the worksheet tabs without full screen view?

I am going bonkers with the worksheet autofiltered result. On userform "Find" when I use one of two comboboxes to filter the results no data is displayed. Using the textbox on that form the filtered data is displayed.
View 3 Replies View RelatedThis is so simple that I cannot even do a search for the answer. My worksheet has a horizontal and vertical cross. After row 16 for example, what is seen on the screen is row 24 for example. I did look at the instructions for "hidden" but I don't think this is a "hidden" issue. I don't want the rows to "jump" numbers, but want them listed sequentially down the page.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've been using the following code successfully for years. Today I would get the error 1004:Unable to set the visible property of the worksheet class. All my searches came up with someone not realizing they had protected the workbook. As you can see, the first thing I do before trying to set the worksheet visible is to unprotect the workbook. In frustration and on a lark I tried .Sheets("items").Visible = True and it worked. These kind of intermittent errors in Excel VBA are very frustrating. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook with two tabs, Summary & January. The january tab has total expenses for the month of january that are subtotaled by last name. i.e. (baker total, decker total..). I would like to be able to use a formula on the summary tab to pull the values of each of the totals for each person from the january tab to the summary tab.
I tried on the summary sheet doing =jan and selecting the first persons name and then going back to the summary tab and dragging that formula down but it pulls all of the other data within the subtotal on the jan tab and I just want each persons total.
I am having problems with some vba codes when I protect my workbook; 'I get an run-time error 1004 Unable to set visible property of the worksheet class'
The code I am trying is:

Application.Goto Worksheets("BCM Database").Range("L15")
Sheets("Stats 1").Visible = False
ActiveSheet.Protect "meme"
End Sub
How to sort this. One more question is there away of protecting you vba code? stop users being able to view or edit them for instance?
I am trying to write the contents of a worksheet to a notepad file. Also, the worksheet has some hidden columns.

do you know if there is vba code to lock formulas so someone sees but does not touch and the same for values see but cant change??
my sheets with formulas are SUMMARY and Sheet2
sheet with value is TABLE
Every time i do a filter and copy a data. Keep the filter on and past in another column. The data does not copy just into the visible cells. It pretend the filter is not there.
I have tried selecting only vible cells when copying and pasting into cells by selecting only visible cells but does not seem to work. Get the error message "command cannot be used on multiple section". There must be a solution but looked on the web and really cannot find one.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a way in excel to prevent someone from "re-ordering" tabs in a workbook without using a macro?
I am using a sum formula that goes across multiple tabs, but noted when I rearranged the order of the tabs, that the results of the formula changed. After some minor research, I noted that I had moved a tab outside the "sum range" inadvertently.
How do you programatically enable the CAPSLOCK key in VBA? I've tried:
Sendkeys "{CAPSLOCK}"
When I run this, Excel's status bar flashes "CAPS" for about 1 second then disappears. It seems to have no impact on the keyboard for case-sensitivity - which is what I'm shooting for.
