I have a series of consecutive cells that I have a number entered in it. AP50 through AP 74 are numbered 1 through 25. I don't want the user to be able to change the number but I do want them to be able to click in the cell as this makes other functions happen.

Have a worksheet that will be used multiple times. User will enter name and employee number only on the first instance that the worksheet is opened. Would like to protect that info automatically for further usage. Most of the worksheet is protected but some cells need to remain unlocked so the "whole" sheet protection will not work.
How do I protect only specified cells, say F3, G3, H3, I3, after the user enters data thru an input box without changing any other protected cells on the sheet?
Is there a way to freeze the user input when it first comes up for a given amount of time. In essence, I am trying to force the user to read before clicking.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a macro where I manually select a cell then the macro kicks in to copy and paste the contents into the Find function. From there it goes to another work sheet, clicks on a cell in column one and searches for matching cell contents. Then If false it manually goes back to the original worksheet/cell and then I input a N in the left adjacent cell. If true I enter a Y. Right now I can only run this for the specific cell the macro was recorded for. I would like to expand this.
What I would like to do create a loop in the macro that waits for my cell choice input then continues with the with the Find function. If false the macro should just loop back to the original worksheet/cell and wait for input, ie the next cell selected. However, if true a worksheet/cell is selected, a Y is input and it loops back to the original cell and waits for input.
I've got an Excel file that I'll be offering for download. I'd like to customize each copy for each user as they download it from the server and am trying to figure out if this is possible & what technology I'd need to use to do so. Simply, I'd like to edit a range in a document, lock it with the built in Excel password protection, and then resave it for the user. Is it possible to write a script to do this w/o opening the file? Any ideas on what technology I'd need to use to do so (.NET framework? OWC?)?

i have some code that allows my users to enter their user ID on double clicking. The worksheet code below shows how on double clicking into Colum 3 (If Target.Column = 3 Then) then the user ID will appear. Q: How do i get the code to work in Columns 3, 5 and 7 but not those inbetween?! I tried using "or" but it allowed the ID to be entered into all columns! i.e. 3,4,5,6 and 7 which is not what I require. In short I need the ID to appear on double clik into every other column.
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim user As String
'This refers to the function ReturnUserName, which takes the name from the NT environment
If Target.Column = 3 Then
Target = ReturnUserName
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
I have a spreadsheet that users update which I then want them to perform a number of checks on. At the bottom will be a button for them to click stating "Click here to confirm checks completed". When they click it I want it to put a flag somewhere that I can then use to prevent them from saving if they haven't clicked the button. I know how to do the saving but, but how do I get the button to put a flag somewhere?
View 2 Replies View RelatedSay a user inputs information into the user form, when they click enter, it enters all the data on the next available line in a workbook.
Is is possible for the user to click a cell on a previously entered row, and have the userform populate with the existing information?
example.
say the user has to fill out 3 separate areas. 1, 2, 3. However the user only has data for 1 and 2. They go ahead and enter the infromation for 1 and 2 and click submit to transfer to sheet. Now later he gets information for area 3, can the row the information that he previously entered, lets say column 1, row 1, and it reopens the userform with the information for 1 and 2 prefilled from what he entered previously?
I wonder if it is possible to make a macro that right clicks a cell and then chooses a option from the list?

Is there a way to have the True value (Exported Data'!C2) reference one cell over instead of selecting the cell to reference from?

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

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.

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.
