Lock Cell Based On Value In Another Cell
Apr 9, 2014
Purpose of the worksheet:
Different users can access my excelsheet to make a selection out of a drop down list, all other cells are locked and the worksheet is protected. There is an amount of "working shifts" all in row D one under another, the users can link people to that "working shift" based on the people that are in a drop down list (data validation).
So shift in D5 will be attributed to the person selected in E5; D6 to E6; ... This happens in multiple sheets in the workbook.
Problem:
Once I verified the link of the person to the "workshift", I put "OK" in cell F5 (not directly, but through a VLOOKUP that searches in a summarysheet). As soon as "OK" is in cell F5, I want cell E5 to be locked. But also for F6 and E6 ... (range: E5:E250).
This way, no one can change the person that I verifed (nor is the person changed without me noticing it).

I'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?

I need to lock the cells in a certain column based on the value of the right side cell. If the value of the right side cell is "Slave" it should lock the cell, otherwise it should remain unlock. I read many codes in the internet but none of them worked properly for me.

I have a spreadsheet that has number between 1-20 entered in every cell in column B all the way down to row 15,000
I need to program something in VBA that will look at each number and then lock a certain range in that row based on that value in column B
For example:
In B3 there is the number '5' therefore I would want it to stop the user entering anything between C3 and G3
In B4 there is the number '3' therefore I would want it to stop the user entering anything between C4 and E4
In B12500 there is the number '14' therefore I would want it to stop the user entering anything between C12500 and P12500
I don't want to have to type out programming for each criteria from 1-20 for 15,000 rows!

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.

VB: ActiveCell.Offset(0, 0).Value = "Close" (And lock current row With password 123)

I 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.

trying to put together a formula, I am trying enable two cells to change between being 'Locked' and 'Unlocked'. I am doing this by using a CheckBox which is referenced to cell [E16] so that when it is checked, 'TRUE' will be displayed and when Unchecked 'FALSE' is displayed. From this I have tried to devise a formula for the cells [c26:I26] and [K26] that when cell [E16] shows 'TRUE' the cells [c26:I26] and [K26] are Unlocked and when it shows 'FALSE' the cells [c26:I26] and [K26] then become locked.

I'm trying to figure out how to lock a range of cells (all in a row) when some puts a specific character in one of the cells. I have a sheet where I want people to enter data. Once they put a 'C' in the last column to indicate that the entry is complete, the whole row should be locked so they can't change any of the cells for that entry. There are some good pointers already on the forum to help me get the basics:
Conditional Cell Lock Unlock
http://www.ozgrid.com/forum/showthread.php?t=66397
http://www.ozgrid.com/forum/showthread.php?t=76379
However, all of these point to specific cells rather than a range of cells that can be located close to the target of the change.

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.

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.

=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?

I 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.

0: 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.

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.
