Lock Rows Unless They Are Hidden Or Unhidden By Macros?
Jul 15, 2014
The small attached "Demo2" file indicates my problem. In the "Scorecard" sheet I'm using macros driven from listbox menus to hide or unhide rows on the "Tasks" sheet. It is VITAL that the rows on the "Tasks" sheet not be deleted or have new rows inserted. But, if I Protect them then the list box macros won't function. Is there a macro that will allow these macros to hide or unhide rows without allowing a user to add or delete these rows in the "Tasks" sheet? If possible a simple "global" solution is preferred as I have 100+ If/Then entries to contend with...

I have Excel Sheet that open with user name and password.
Like if it's open my Admin - he can view all Sheets
If open by any user - it opens only users sheet.
Problem is once file is saved by any users, all hidden files get unhidden and Admin Sheet is open.
Requirement: if User1 saves file other sheets should not get unhidden.

I have a worksheet that has rows of information up to row 3000. Sometimes all the rows are shown and sometimes a lot of them are hidden. When I try and print, the rows with info are printed but then the hidden rows are included as just blank pages. Is there a way I can get excel to print only the rows in 1-3000 that are shown and not hidden?

I have a file that contains multiple rows of data. I built a macro that will then hide rows with a $0 balance. When the macro is completed, my spreadsheet is only showing the lines with a $ amount. (The $0 rows are hidden)
What I'd like to do is then format the unhidden rows so that each alternate row is color coded. This will separate the rows visually so I can more easily follow the rows across to view $'s per line.
I've attached a sample spreadsheet (it does contain the macro to hide the $0 rows). How can I then format the remaining rows with alternate shading?

I dont know if a vb code is at all possible to copy a formula in a cell in row 2 straight down that column until the last unhidden row in which there is at least a cell populated with values from the 256 cells in that last unhidden row. Then in that column, I want the cells that are filled with formulas to be converted to values.
All these unhidden rows are autofiltered with certain criteria. The left and right columns to the formulated cells does not necessarily filled with values as they can be blank. Row 1 has header names, and a formula can be any cell in row 2 at any one time and that is exactly the problem i faced so that to record a macro seems totally useless for me because the cell in row2 where I will begin with a formula varies every time.
Currently I go a long way by taking these steps:
Hghtlighting row1
Data/Filter/ Autofilter/
Select the header cell and click on drop-down filter
Select (Custom...) with criteria
Input formula on the cell in row2
Copy the formula
Press Shift+ArrowDown keys until the last unhidden row
Press Enter
Undo Autofilter
Select the column
Copy and Paste as values
Autofilter row1 again
Select the header cell, (Custom..) equal "#N/A" and "zero"
Continue next turn of formula..copy to last unhidden row, paste as values....
Me and other staff in my department are doing these long-winding steps endless of times, day in day out, until we are drained out and called quit. If there is a code that can do this, this is going to the greatest news ever for these people for that kind of work.

Is there a way to lock a column hidden so that it can't be unhidden? Maybe with a password? I tried saving the file with a password but I could still go in and "unhide" that column.

I have got an Excel sheet . When I opened the file the first time I saw a macro, but then I clicked on some other sheets in the VBA and before I got a chance to copy the macro, it disappeared and there is no way I can find it again. I tried to open the file in another computer, but the macro is nowhere to be found. The file has 50 worksheets and ThisWorkBook. On the "Properties" window for ThisWorkBook I can see that there is a password. How can I find again the macro?

I have a macro which copy text from a sheet (sheet-1) and paste it into another sheet.
I want sheet-1 to be hidden, or even better, very-hidden, but when I hide sheet-1 the macro run fails. Respons Run-time error '1004'...
Is it a solution around this 'problem' or does sheet-1 always has to be visible ?

There are some excel documents in a hidden folder that contain sensitive information. Shortcuts to these documents will be provided to users to open them and add data. These documents contain all kinds of macros as well. Once macro disables the 'Save As' feature so that the workbook can not be saved outside of the hidden folder, preventing to some degree a user from saving as a different name and emailing the document with the sensitive data.
This all works fine with Macros enabled. As soon as macros are disabled the 'Save As' prevention is bypassed and the workbook can be saved anywhere.
Is there a way for an administrator to lock out the Trust Center options for disabling all macros?

I have an excel file with a table in it. It contains 2051 records (attached). This is just a sample, the original file has around 30,000 rows.
When I start using filters, I run into problems:
Step 1: Filter by Unit, condition (e.g.) Unit_23
Excel shows in the status bar the following message: 437 of 2050 records found.
Step 2: If I scroll to the bottom of the table, the row numbers are colored in blue (normal for a filtered list) however the last row is not colored and it actually should not be shown since its unit is not what I filtered for (its unit is Unit_25)
Step 3: Clear the filter of Unit
Step 4: Sometimes (depending on what I filter for), one or more of the bottom rows are hidden!!!

Basically I have recently started my own personal music chart and I'm having problems with a Year To Date page.
Basically all I want to know how to do is how to lock some cells together and rank many rows of those cells with 1 column where the total is?
I have attached the spreadsheet as a zip files as I was having problems uploading it as a xls file.

This (unprotects the sheet first, then) unhids rows (starting at row 1500, until it reaches row 4). Now my most current vexation- How do I lock/protect the past rows?
Say a co-worker enters information in row 1500 and walks away. The next co-worker inserts a new row (which would be row 1499) to place data in there, how can I get row 1500 to lock (or become protected) as the new row (which in this case 1499) would become unhidden?
It would be very important that the information in the previous rows remain locked so that nobody can change any client information (unless they had supervisory/administration access).
If it is not possible to protect or lock the whole row, it would also work if I could just lock one of the cells in the previous row.
I am using the following
Sub Row_Unhiding()
'
' Row_Unhiding Macro
' Macro recorded 2/12/2009 by gr8_big_geek
'
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+i
'
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="secret"
R = 1500
Do Until Rows(R).Hidden = True
R = R - 1
If R < 4 Then
MsgBox "No more rows to add!", vbCritical, "Error"
Exit Sub
End If
Loop
Rows(R).Hidden = False
ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="secret"
End Sub

I have a workbook list of activities that I am hoping will visualise the scheduling of routine maintenance tasks in my engineering department. The date of the most recent check is entered in row 6 and the interval in row 5. Hence the number 7 denotes a weekly check. The conditional format is such that the reds indicate that a check needs to be carried out. If the check is done on the scheduled day then a "Y" is entered into the square. This will then turn the square green. If "Y" is entered on any other day then the square turns orange to indicate the check is done, if not on time. The red squares do not change colour unless a yes is entered. This is designed to show the history of checks and give us the opportunity to show compliance to routines. What I need to do is lock the rows that have passed the current date, to prevent unscupulous modification. Thus the macro would look down column A and if the date is less than today() would lock the row. I have truncated the file as much as I can. A nice to have would be the facility for an adminstrator to go in (perhaps password protected) to make changes if necessary.

I have a workbook that has 2 sheets; "Quote Summary" and "ECS". The "ECS" sheet contains columns "C" through "L" each of which has a total on row "27". At any time, one or several (but never All) of these columns may be unused and therefore hidden.
I would like to know if it is possible to sum the total of only those columns that are NOT hidden and display that value in cel "C15" of the "Quote_Summary" sheet.

I am trying to use the SUMIF function to create a formula that will read the visible cells in Column B and if any visible cells in Column B are equal to or greater than zero I want Excel to sum the corresponding values in the visible cells of Column A. Not so hard but I'm having a difficult time getting Excel to ignore data in hidden rows.
See attached file for and further explanation : Sample.xlsx
I've tried using SUMIF as well as the AGGREGATE function but no success, yet.

I need a formula for counting rows. It should achieve the following;
It should count in increments of 1 (1,2,3,4, etc.) in each cell in a column (column AW, to be prescise).
It should skip hidden rows.
It should account for the fact that a formula is able to reveal rows and when this is
done, the counting formula should adjust to count the newly revealed row.
It should also be able to do the opposite - another formula/macro hides rows, and when this happens it should not count the newly hidden row.
I can imagine a formula in each cell of the column that says "Check the previous column and if it is visible, add 1. If a hidden row is encountered, do not add 1. When a non-hidden row is encountered again, continue adding 1."

I have a worksheet with hidden rows and Page Breaks. I know that the page breaks are causing my worksheet to print blank pages where I have page breaks and hidden rows.
I need the page breaks or the form just prints a mess... I tried eliminating them - but that didn't work at all.
I need a macro, which will examine the worksheet, look for the hidden rows, exclude them from the print area, and then Print the worksheet.

Why do I get a "sub or function not defined" error on the first line? The problem seemed to arise out of nowhere. The sub is located in module 1. I call it with "Call DeleteHiddenRows" in sheet1 inside of a "Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)" event. Should I be adding some declaration somewhere (some "dim" line?)???
Sub DeleteHiddenRows()
For j = ActiveCell.SpecialCells(xlLastCell).Row To 1 Step -1
If Rows(j).Hidden Then
Rows(j).Hidden = False
Row(j).Activate
Selection.Delete
End If
Next j
