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.

How to Lock/Unlock an Excel Cell Based on the Contents of Another Cell?
View 1 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?
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!
Been racking brain, searching through the forum here, and my Excel 2003 Bible all day trying to figure out this problem to no avail. I would like to clear the contents of any cell in a given range if the cell immediately to the right of is formatted as bold.

I am looking to add a function to a current spreadsheet that writes the current date to a cell when another is updated. The sheets function is to have a user record when a particular action has been completed and then remind them after a given amount of time. The user is faced with an option to input a "1" to essentially "start the timer" and then the date that is automatically input by the code will be used to compare with the current date. I have tried the following on the Workbook_SheetChange sub
If ActiveCell.Column = 9 And ActiveCell.Value <> 1 Then
ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 2).Value = Date
End If
But cannot figure out how to eliminate user error. Let me explain. If a user enters a value (will only ever be a 1 to indicate "yes") into column 9 then the date appears in the correct place (two cells to the left) If however a user deletes a value then the date will update one cell too high!? I also thought of using a cell based if statement (if j7 = 1 then today() else "" but this only updates with todays value each time you open where I want the date to stay as the day the cell was updated. The date is going to be used as a way of working out when to change the original value of the cell in column 9 to "".
There's got to be a way to do this (mail merge style perhaps...) I would like to insert the entry/ies under a heading in a table in one worksheet whenever that heading matches the data entered in a separate worksheet.
Presently I can find no way to do this in Excel.
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 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 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.
Is it possible to lock all cells with the exception of a select few(say a column) based upon a date? I have a spreadsheet where I want to lock all cells with the exception of the current months information. I want the spreadsheet to auto unlock the date that is listed on the top of the spreadsheet. I have columns for all months of the yea and I have the current month listed in cell A1. I want match the A1 cell to the column header to unlock the correct column.
View 4 Replies View RelatedPurpose 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).
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.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'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

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.
I want cell g12 to be locked unless cell h7 is Grass Fire or Timber Fire (H7 is a drop down validated cell)
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am trying to get the sumproduct of a column of amounts based on the adjacent cells ID code.
For example column B will have codes 1FHD, 2FHS, 3FHG etc. these codes will be mixed otherwise I would have just did a sum of the cells.
Column C would have dollar amounts.
Sumproduct based on adjacent cell ID Code
How would I make cells in column A to C be highlighted yellow, of which is 0.02 in value be higher than in compared with the adjacent cell in column D ? It is easy to use condition format function to setup the conditions in 1 row. The problem is there are thousands rows in the sheet(of which represents an individual file by each row), and need to have the conditioning format applied on each row independently. How can it be done w/o the need to have format painter applied line by line, of which is a very time consuming.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have been reading through trying to find a similar post but the nearest i could find was one dealing with numbers rather than text. This is how the workbook looks.
Column A contains a list of numbers based on vehicle types. Column B contains a list of vehicle names.
A B
1 Car,
1 Taxi,
2 Bus,
2 Lorry,
3 Skateboard,
3 Bike,
1 Motorcycle,
What I am looking for is the best way to combine the text from column B depending on the value of column a. the finished results would then end up as: "Car,Taxi,Motorcycle,", or "Bus,Lorry," etc. This is just a simple list.. The one I am working with has around 2500 entries. I have been trying to do this using the CONCATENATE function and IF statement but it's just not working..... My head is ready to explode
Set cell fill color based on number of adjacent cell
I am doing a research with the following information. In column B, I have the name of the buyer company, column B cells that contain numbers 1, 2 or 3 opposite the company name in column B depending on certain characteristics. I would like to mark the companies in column A in different colors (or some other recognizable way) as described below.
columns result
col A col B col C
7 Materials Inc 3
7 Materials Inc 2
6 Rayon Inc 3
6 Rayon Inc 3
6 Rayon Inc 3
8 Commun Corp 1
8 Commun Corp 2
8 Commun Corp 3
8 Commun Corp 2
8 Commun Corp 1
I would like to have on output in column A as shown above according to the following criteria:
4: if there are only 1 in column C opposite the specific company in column B
5: if there are only 2 in column C opposite the specific company in column B
6: if there are only 3 in column C opposite the specific company in column B
7: if there are 1, 2 and 3 in column C opposite the specific company in column B
8: if there are 1 and 2 in column C opposite the specific company in column B
Any suitable function in excel or Macros that can work with the formatting, because I have tens of thousands of companies and it will take too much time to do it manually.
I want the font of a value in a cell to turn green or red based on the value of the cell below it - NOT based on a set value or range like all of the other examples are based on. I want to apply a formula or condition to the entire table.
Column a has the date for each value, newest date is row 1 and oldest date is row 250. Column b-k has the number value for each animal species we are tracking. If there are more animals than the day before, the value went up and I want the font to be green. If there are less animals than the day before, then value went down and I want the font to be green.
There are about 250 rows in each table and I have 4 tables. I thought I could do conditional formating but I can only find how to change font color based on a set value. For instance, for each day there are over 10 turkeys, then it would be green. That is NOT what I want, see below:
Mon 5 no color change
Fri 5 color change to green
Thu 4 color change to red
Wed 5 color change to red
Tue 7 color change to green
Mon 5
date looks more like this - col a is date, col b is turkey, col c deer, etc
Mon 5 4 3 4 2
Fri 5 3 4 2 7
Wed 5 2 7 1 0
Tue 7 4 6 5 9
Mon 5 1 1 5 4
I would think this is similar to daily stock prices, if data goes up then it is in green, but if the price goes down then in red. Not based on purchase price (set value), but based on previous days closing price. For this report, I only care about the change day to day.
Is there a way to shade a cell based on whether the adjacent cell is shaded? I found some ways to do this with VBA but I was looking for a non VBA solution if possible. So basically if cell C5 is highlighted yellow I would want cell D5 highlighted yellow too, regardless of the values inside the cell. Is this possible without VBA?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet spread over with dates in column A from September to December and I have a fuel rebate column as well. The fuel rebate is different for each month and is calculated as a certain amount of cents per dollar added to the total amount in Column B
September: 26c
October: 13.5c
November: 43c
December: 66c
e.g. If there is an invoice for 10/9/07 (september) for $100, then the fuel rebate would be $100*.26 which equals $26 fuel rebate. I want to calculate column B (this is the column with the dollar amount in it), but I want the calculation to be different depending on what date is in column A, so if in column A the dated month is October, then the calculation would be something like B2*0.135. give me the calculation I am certain you don't need VBA for this right (just nested IF statements?)
The easiest way for me to explain it is to give an example: if the list contains Red,Blue,Green,Yellow. i need a formula for the adjacent cell that inputs £1 if red is chosen, £2 if blue is chosen, £3 if green is chosen, £4 if yellow is chosen
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a column of dollar amounts (variances) and next to each is the shift they belong to.
I am looking to get a break down of the variances for each shift.
Attached is an example of what it looks like.
A2:A5 contains different dollar amounts, a6 is the sum of those amounts
In column B (B2:B5), i place a "p" beside the amount in column A once it has been paid.
I want to:
a. conditionally format the amounts in column a to turn green once I put the 'p' in the adjacent column
b. conditionally format the sum in A6 to exclude amounts that have been paid, and only display the total amount of the unpaid lines.
I want AB1 to highlight red if date in S1 is not blank and N1 doesnt equal AA1. Is this possible?
