View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet form with a bunch of cells receiving and writing data via vba. On the form is a search box. The data is on the same sheet as the form to prevent flickering by activating another sheet. The problem is that I cannot select the search area and set the scrollarea or the "Find" quits after the first find:
if I have 2 jacks then it will find the first and not the second.
If I don't set the scrollarea of course it goes to the selected cell and moves the form out of the picture.
If I select a cell in the form area after the search, the "Find" is reset to the beginning and locates the same cell again.
Here is the code:
Code:
On Error GoTo DataNotFound
Cells.find(What:=txtFindText, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:= _
xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False _ , SearchFormat:=False).Activate

I want users to be able to scroll top-down or sideways up to a certain point only.
What is the VBA code to accomplish this? Let's say for example I want to limit scrolling from A to L rows 1 to 50 only.
Ive tried disabling scroll on sheet 1 of my workbook by entering the cell range into the properties window in VBA. However when I save the sheet and reopen it, it seems to reset and are able to scroll again.
I tried using the following:
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
Worksheets(1).ScrollArea = "A1:Q51"
End Sub
and a few variations of the above but this dosnt seem to be working. The only other code I have in the workbook is under "thisworkboko" which is this:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.DisplayFullScreen = True
End Sub
I use all of column A, B, and C, but i only use D1 to H44 other than that. Is it possible to hide everything to the right of Column I and below D44:H44, but leave the scroll area for columns A B C able to scroll to the bottom?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a worksheet that serves as a navigation page for the workbook and use the following code to restrict from scrolling off the viewable content. The problem is that the code doesn't kick in until either a click if the mouse or keyboard input. This initially leaves the worksheet open for scrolling until input is received.
How do I make this code activate when the wb is loaded? Code in the Thisworkbook module already makes the menu the visible sheet, and code limiting the scroll area is in the sheet module.

I have been assigned the task of creating our new integrated time and leave sheet in Excel 2007, previously we had 2 sheets, one for times and one for leave.
The problem I have is that I need to protect the authorisaton columns therre are 2 one for AM and one for PM, so that only Managers can authorise leave by inputting a password and then initialing the leave.
What I then need to do a the end of each month is for the manager to be able to click a Button with a Macro which will then lock the whole worksheet so that employees cannot change their times after the manager has checked the sheet.
I can lock the authorisation columns and password protect but I have to enable protection on the sheet, when I do this I cannot then figure out a way of running a macro which will then protect the whole sheet and assign a password to it so it cannot be changed after being checked and signed off.
I have tried to create a macro (button) to remove the protection on the 2 columns and then reapply protection to the whole sheet with another button but to no avail.....
If anyone has any suggestions I would be eternaly greatful.
Passwords on the sheet for the different buttons are abc or cobra.

I recently posted a thread on locking one cell if another had a value in it, and vice versa for the other cell. I got this great response (thanks se1429!) and it works GREAT, but I failed to mention that the worksheet is password protected. It asks for a password when I enter a value in one of the cells. I just need help adjusting this code so I can put my password in the code and allow the worksheet to unlock and lock at will by using this password.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to graph the following data in an area chart with line charts superimposed on the area chart. I have a lot of data (and a lot going on) so I'm trying to figure out the best way to show this in excel from a functional standpoing (i can't get this to work in excel!!) to also an asthetic standpoint (dont want it to look terrible or illegible). This is what I'm trying to chart:
1) Weather data (temperature) by region:
So one region, would be: Northwest
I would like the "area" (so a shaded region) to be the min/max of the temperature data for each month.
2) I would like to show the temperature for each year as a line graph on the chart - so you can see if a year falls in or out of the shaded region.
3) I would like to show a company's sales increases across the same months per year as separate line charts. I may choose to just show the biggest outlier year in the end... or to show 2006 (the latest data).
What I am trying to convery with the chart is that the company's sales is or is not tied to weather deviations. I have attached an excel file with the data. I haven't been able to use the area chart or get a two axis chart to work or get it to look even remotely professional.

I have tried adjusting the margins settings so that they are all the same, but this does nothing to keep a fixed print area.
I'm trying to run the below code, but every time I do, it locks up excel. The code is running on 900 rows of data within the "loop to delete rows" section and in the main for loop there are 49 values to evaluate for the string strSA. how I can improve this code? When I step through it with F5 it works fine.

everytime i lock the column a by using the protect sheet, the vba does not work or debugs. is there a way for me to lock the cell in column a when data is inputted or changed in column b? i am using date and time for column a
=IF(D2<>"",IF(A2="",NOW(),A2),"")
Whenever I type into field D2 it populates current date and time in field A2 and down the A column as I write into current D columns. The next step I would like to do in which he was able to figure out so far is how to lock in the date and time after something has been typed into D2. If I make any changes to the D2 field it updates the date and time, which I dont want to happen.
I have a user that is trying to lock certian cells within a spreadsheet but to allow certian users still to be able to edit these cells.
When this users is trying to do this and locks the cells it is locking for all users and not applying the "allowed" list of users to make changes.
is it possible to lock a worksheet. For example, i have a single worksheet in a workbook that i do not want people viewing. Is there any way that a password would have to be used to gain access to it? I have to keep the sheet inside this workbook because information is pulling from other sheets inside the workbook.

I know that this is possible and have done it several times in the past, age however, dulls the memory and I have just forgot the procedure,
my spreatsheet calculations work, but the overall thing is too large to print; i am running many numbers and formulas. I made them all finally refer to a small 'summary' box which i created...but when i try to transfer the box to a new worksheet so that i can print it and only it; it automatically has no references for the formulas on the new (blank) sheet, and comes up all errors. to the point, how do i lock the way a box appears (when it contains formulas) so that it will remain sensible after it is transferred elsewhere?

Is it possible to have a formula in a cell, based on the value in another cell, but if the other cell value is not true then allow for data entry in the cell
So
J10 executes a formula if the value in I10 (a list field) is 'Cash and Shares' =IF(I10="Cash & Share",ROUND(IF(AND(K10<>0,O10>0),K10/O10,0),0)).
However if the value of I10 is anything other than 'Cash and Shares' then do not execute the formula in J10 but allow users to enter another value.
Note: the cell needs to be locked. The worksheet will be protected and will allow users to Select Locked Cells and Unlocked Cells.
For example:
Locking a certain text boxes, and not others. Under review, protect sheet, the Edit Objects function is all or nothing
