A1 is number of days available
this sheet goes to a routing recepient from me who fills A2 and B2. C2 and D2 are calculated.
A2 has starting date
B2 has ending date
C2 is days between these two dates
D2 is number of days left i.e. A1-C2
I want to lock and protect cells A2,B2,C2 and D2 so that these cannot be changed when I route it back to get next set of dates to be filled by the same person.
I have a spreadsheet where I need to lock certain cells, only problem is this then takes away the ability to filter the columns which I also still need in that spreadsheet.
Is there a way to lock cells so that they can not be edited but also keep the filtering function?
In Excel 2007 I protect cells in certain cloumns in a large amount worksheets. By manually protecting or locking them. Once the sheets are protected without a password just blank and only select unlocked cells is ticked for sheet protection. I close the workbook and reopen it. These cells are now unprotected that were protected and theres always two ticks checked off for select locked cells and select unlocked cells.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook with particular worksheets that should never be deleted. If they are deleted by the user the workbook will become unusable.
The users need the freedom to edit data within the sheets (so protecting them is not an option), however, I need to restrict this freedom so that they cannot under any circumstance delete the sheet. Is there such code that I could use in the worksheet code to stop this?

I have a sheet that has some cells already protected by a password. I want another person to be able to make changes to the unprotected cells and then be able to push a button (macro) that will then unlock the sheet activesheet.unprotect ("mypassword"), change all the cells to "locked" and then have the protect sheet window pop open so that they can type in their own password and save it.

View 9 Replies View Relatedi have produced a spreedsheet on ms excel.
On sheet 2 is all of the information and tables etc.. for example prices and information for the combo boxes an such...i need to protect this sheet so no one can change anything on it
the problem is when i do so, and go back onto sheet 1 and say tick a checkbox or select something from the combo box is doesnt allow me to, the protection message comes up
i dont want this to come up on sheet 1, only on sheet 2!
i think its because i have links between the pages? like all of the info for the combo box is on sheet 2
I need is for the Roster sheet, which has the exact same column and row headings as the Leave sheet, to read the data from the Leave sheet and change dynamically if the Leave sheet is changed. If there is data in any cell then I need to protect just that cell in the Roster sheet so that the user creating the staff roster is unable to edit it out.
I have created a plain cut and paste macro on open from Leave to Roster but this doesn't give me the dynamic linking, and doesnt help solve the problem of needing to check each and every cell in Roster against a corresponding cell in Leave, but also if its blank in Leave to allow the user to update that cell in the Roster sheet.

I have a spreadsheet where I can change the colour of a cell by clicking the mouse, I also have text in many of the cells.
What I need to do is protect (lock) the text so that no one can change the text in any of the cells, but I still want to be able to change the colour of the cells by clicking the mouse in that cell.
I have a macro that duplicates a excel file into how ever many files I need... so If I need 150 copies of the the file, it will make it 150 times.
However, each file the first tab called "Clients" has information that I want protected so users can't alter it. I can't protect it before I run the duplication because the data is added by a group of people and I need it unprotected until they add the information.
What I am looking for is a macro that I can click and run, allows me to select multiple files, then it will automatically Protect Sheet 1 "Clients" on all the files I select so I don't have to open all 150 files after data is entered and Protect sheet 1 manually.
What is the best way to protect a Data sheet, but still be able to use a FrontEnd Userform.

View 9 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to just protect just a single cell, in order to lock & hide a formula within that cell, without having to password protect the whole worksheet?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI did review some examples your members have already provided however I have a slight twist.
I have multiple users adding to a spreadsheet from which data is later copied to a master sheet. I need to lock ONLY cells which contain data when user chooses to save spreadsheet or saves speadsheet on exit. If the cells do not contain data, they should remain unlocked.
I have users filling in data in columns C and D, I need a macro which will select everything entered and lock those cells - well the catch is, if both columns have data. If column C or D are empty I need that row to remain unlocked. No sorting can occur as well.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet with about 2000 lines of vba code. My application needs to be protected so users don't mess themselves up; however, I really only needs the contents of cells to be protected. I have many macros that run, and in order to do this I need to unprotect and re-protect the worksheets. My problem is this: when I re-protect the worksheets, everything is locked up. I would like to allow users to change column widths, hide and un-hide rows, etc. I can't find the parameters needed to do this more controlled type of locking. Is there a list somewhere of all the parameters that can be passed to the Protect method? Here is my current subroutine:
Sub ProtectSheets()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
ws.Protect Password:="password"
Next
End Sub
