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 column filled with time data that I want to copy in to a column formatted to a time format (hh:mm:ss), the thing is when i copy the data to it the format does not apply unless i double click each of the brackets, there are 14000 lines so doing it manually is a hastle to say the least, is there a way to apply the time format immediately?

I am trying to create a macro that copies cells B2 and C6 from the active worksheet in a workbook called "transfer". Then searches for the first empty cell in a worksheet called "summary" in a workbook called "report" and pastes the value from B2 in the first empty cell in column D and the value from C6 in the first empty call in column E.

How to Lock/Unlock an Excel Cell Based on the Contents of Another Cell?
View 1 Replies View RelatedCurrently 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?
I wonder how to copy a conditional format from one cell to its current row.
I've attached an example (if B3 is green then I'd like its whole row turns green too).
I think there should be an "easy" way to turn the whole rows green, red or whatever color based on the B column formats (or colors)..........
Is there a macro that can copy the information of any italicize item in Sheet1 to Sheet2 and automatically italicize the item in Sheet3 if the same item exist?
In my attached example:
In Sheet1, B3 to B8 contain information about a restaurant.
I want the macro to copy any restaurant (and its information) that is italicize to Sheet2. And in Sheet3, any restaurant that is in italic in Sheet2 will become italicize in Sheet3 if the name is match. Is there such a macro that can do these things?
I have been working several weeks on producing a macro that can quickly eliminate blank lines in an .xls file which is created by exporting a Crystal Report into Excel. The macro can do that, but the big problem is that it freezes up the users PC for 3-5 minutes. If you go into Task Manager you can observe that CPU usage is at 100%. The .xls files that I am trying to run this macro against are around 50,000 rows long with data in about 10 columns. About 2/3 of those rows are blank. This is an inherent problem when exporting Crystal Reports into Excel. I went to Business Objects website (Crystal Reports) and their solution is simply not an option. They suggest removing If-Then-Else logic. I simply cannot do that because that is the heart of how the report selects data for each row to print in the report.
Below is the code that I wrote with documentation to explain how it works. If you would like to try it I attached an .xls file. It is only 800 rows long so that I could stay under the forum's requirement of attaching nothing larger than a 48.8 kb file. The file has only one column, 800 rows long. You may want to copy and paste it a few times to make it longer. When running the macro it will open a dialog box so that you can go wherever you copied the file, and open it up.
Sub OpenXLSFile_DeleteBlankLines()
Dim fileToOpen As String
Dim lRows As Long
'open dialog box for user to access an Excel file for deleting blank lines
fileToOpen = Application. GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="microsoft excel files (*.xls), *.xls", Title:="Select an .xls file to open for deleting blank lines...", MultiSelect:=False)
If fileToOpen <> "" Then
Application.Workbooks.Open fileToOpen
End If.......................
I have a macro that copies all my sheets onto a new sheet called combine. It is pasting onto the combine sheet starting on cell A2 instead of cell A1. Following is my macro.
Sub Combine()
Dim J As Integer
Sheets(1).Select
Worksheets.Add
Sheets(1).Name = "Combined"
On Error Resume Next
For J = 2 To Sheets.Count
Sheets(J).Activate
Range("A1").Select
Selection.CurrentRegion.Select
Selection.Copy Destination:=Sheets("Combined").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp)(2)
Next
End Sub
I'm trying to Copy and Insert formulated cells from sheet "Add Entry" range A3:AZ4 to Sheet "January" just above the last row containing data (the Totals line) starting in column B. The cells need to remain the same in cell size and maintain the formulas that are inmbedded within them. I want to be able to do this repeatedly by applying this macro to a button. I would also like (if possible) to alternate the color of these cells in an alternating row fashion.

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 large data which is placed in single cell and I want to copy it into a template which is merged cells any I'm stucked. My data is very large and I can't unmerged the destination data(they are merged vertically). So I wonder is there a way to copy a single cell in a merge cell.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have just generated a report of current customer numbers for our company. Unfortunately it reports it as "162 (162)". No idea why the program does it like that because it now makes using VLOOKUP very difficult.
What I want to do is copy the "162" part of the cell and paste it into the adjacent cell to make it easier to manipulate the worksheet. All of the customer numbers are in column D if that makes a difference.
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've seen a few threads on here about this issue but none of them do quite what I am looking for. I'd like for a single page "report" to be created when a user presses a button (which runs a macro, of course) The macro should be able to run through certain named sheets (even if hidden) and if a cell in any row is red within a sheet then the entire row or rows that meet the criteria should be copied and pasted into the Report sheet.
On the report sheet, for each sheet that has had rows that were copied, I'd like to have the name of the sheet as the header above the pasted rows so that the user knows which sheet the data came from. Any sheet that doesn't have red cells would be excluded from the report. I've attached a sample file but had to limit the number of sheets because of Orgrid's file size limit. Hopefully, you'll see what I am getting at here.
=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
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.

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.
