Locking Columns On A Questionnaire Spreadsheet
Sep 16, 2009
I am trying to develop a questionnaire spreadsheet using a ranking system. I have different questions (based on certain criterias) and four columns for each question: NEVER | SOMETIMES | MOST OF THE TIME | ALWAYS.
I want to see if there is a way that I can lock the other three cells when the user has chosen a particular column by typing an X. BY doing so, I want to ensure that the user will not choose two options (or columns) instead of only one, because if he/she does it will mess the other calculations that are not shown within the table. Only the input and output are shown.

WILL IT BE possible to lock columns / cells for any user to avoid editing? Only the creator of the file should be able to edit?

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?

This should be a simple question for those who have the knowledge. I am making a 2 column excel page, the first column will have an authors name and the second one will have the book name. I need to lock these two columns together so that author name and book name always stay together (side by side) on the sort command. I need to be able to sort by author or book title and I realize that it gives you the choice to expand the selection, but I can't trust that the others (kids) will realize the importance of doing so. This is going to be a very large list with hyperlinks and I can't afford to chance whether someone else will select the correct command. So a long story short. I want to build a list that can be sorted by author name or book name and be sure that the correct author will always be beside the correct book, but that are able to be independantly sorted

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 am designing a skill assessment questionnaire and want to use radiobuttons to keep it user friendly. I have about 100 line items with 6 radiobuttons and 1 checkbox. I want to assign a linked cell to each button and group the radiobuttons of each row (plus set a default value.) As the number of buttons is large I am looking for a way to do this efficiently without manually changing the GroupName in the properties window. Currently, I create the buttons automatically but cannot change the desired attributes (groupname and linkedCell) unless I explicitly address the respective button by its name directly.
ActiveSheet. OLEObjects("OptionButton2").Object.GroupName = MyRange
ActiveSheet.OLEObjects("OptionButton2").LinkedCell = LinkOB6
This it not practical though due to the large number of buttons in the spreadsheet.
Currently I try to address the buttons with other variables but this does not work. my current code is the following (for only 5 rows and 2 buttons per row):
Sub Buildbuttons()
Dim RowNo As Integer
Dim i As Integer
Dim x, y As Integer
Dim xdif As Integer
Dim ydif As Integer
Dim LinkOB1, LinkOB2, LinkOB3, LinkOB4, LinkOB5, LinkOB6, LinkCB1 As String
Dim OB1, OB2, OB3, OB4, OB5, OB6, CB1 As String
Dim MyRange As String
' now of rows to fill
RowNo = 5
'define starting position and distances
x = 20
y = 5
xdif = 54
ydif = 18
i = 1.................

Is there a way in Excel 2010 that the administrator of a excel document can not only hide some columns but lock the columns by some kind of password so it remains hidden? I know user can hide/unhide columns but can some columns be hiddens and locked with passwords?
Secondly can formulas like IF and vlookups statements be hidden and locked with some kind of password?
In maybe via VBA or by some other means, is this possible?
The end user should only be able to type and select certain cells only.

As part of an audit program I have a questionnaire. One of the questions has 10 check boxes, one with a combo box and one with a text box. The user will check at least 2 or more answers, but not all 10. (2-4 average). I don’t want to link the answers to specific cells, because I don’t want the answers to display with blank rows between answer on the sheet. I want the answers to display in 2 columns evenly distributed.
I would prefer, to not have to run a macro, if possible, but the only way I could see to do this is a very long if statement base on every combination of answers. If the only way to do this is thru a macro, I would prefer to tie it to the printing of the sheet, or I could make it part of an error checking macro I plan to do. The actual question is in the attached file

I have a column "g" with this conditional formatting:- =A2<>A3 Format Bottom Border.
However I will pass this workbook onto someone else who will fill in the text in column "g". They will use copy/paste text from other cells or columns even other workbooks that will not have the conditional formatting.
I have used Cells > Projection > Locked unchecked then used Tools > Protection > Protect Sheet and checked all. There does not seem to be a way to unlock the cell but protect Conditional formatting. Each time I copy and paste from other non formatted cells it wipes out my formatting.

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.

Have a spreadsheet with 15 columns. In one of the columns is the name of the company and that column is not in alphabetical order. The city, state, zip code, business type and all the other pertinent data about that company is in the same row as the name of the company. My intent would be to put the company names in alphabetical order and keep all the company information in the same row as the company name.

I have created a worksheet to track/calculate compliance with a number of important items at a number of business locations on a number of questions. This workbook will be posted on a central server that will allow 25+ employees to access it from the field and "double-click" to enter an X in either a "Yes" or "No" column for about 100+ locations (the code also will remove the "X" in either column if another "X" is entered into the other column to prevent double entries). The workbook will be quite elaborate and will be locked down except for those cells unprotected for data entry (identifying location, date, etc.).
Below is the code and it works just fine as written with two columns to chose from to "double-click" and enter an "X" (columns C & D for rows 4 thru 15). I want to "freeze frames" locking columns A & B and allow scrolling to the right to enter each New Location and allow the same code to apply to the same rows but column groupings of E & F, G & H, I & J, ...until I have about 100+ sets of two columns identified in the code.
I have tried a variety of changes to the "Union(Range" and "Intersect(Target, Range" last night and this morning to no avail and have gotten nothing but a headache and a desire to drink heavily from the exercise.
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick( _
ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim rInt As Range
Dim rCell As Range
Set rInt = Intersect(Target, Range("C4:D15"))
If Not rInt Is Nothing Then
For Each rCell In rInt
rCell.Value = "X"
Next
End If
Set rInt = Nothing
Set rCell = Nothing
Cancel = True

Here is sample data of my spreadsheets
SPREADSHEET 1

ijkl;on hold;02/15;CF,GD;klj
mnop;on time;04/15;CD,FG;kgkij[table="width: 500"]
I need to update the columns from spreadsheet 1 to spreadsheet 2.
Spreadsheet 2 has less columns. Also the data in col3 for spreadsheet 1 is not there in spreadsheet 2.
The mapping of the columns is as follows:
S1 S2
col1=col1
col2=col2
col3=col4
col4=col5
col5=col6
col6= data already in another column.

Any way to total 2 columns in a spreadsheet.
I need a formula that will sum the cells in the the first column below but if there's a value in the 2nd column I'll need to use that number instead. Is there a formula/combination of formulas that will accomplish this?
$91,170
$68,372
$89,015
$61,954
$767,379
$773,712

I'm managing a World Cup Prediction League and have been trying to create a spreadsheet that will eventually feed in to a league, positioning each player in descending order. However, I would like to use three columns to determine how to position the players.
EG.
Priority 1 - Column D - Total Points (Rank from Highest to Lowest)
(if there are players with equal Total Points in column D, then)
Priority 2 - Column F - Correct Scores (Rank from Highest to Lowest
(if there are still players with equal value after Total Points and Correct Scores, then)
Priority 3 - Column F - Incorrect Scores (Lowest to Highest)
I've tried for hours to work this out but can't. It would save me hours of work each day
I have attached the document : WC Prediction League EXAMPLE.xlsx‎

I have a large spreadsheet with over 50 columns. Many colleagues use the sheet and often use the format, hide, column function to hide columns they do not need but then the next user has to unhide them and re-hide others until they are left with the different columns they require.
Is there anyway of creating a menu which allows users to select from a list of all the columns those they wish to display, all the others therefore being hidden.

I can't figure out how to delete the attached files that are irrelevant and I can't figure out how to upload new ones. I also don't know how to word what I need to happen
I want the data from everything, starting from row 5 and going to row 100, and not include column B or E.
How do I grab just that data? I have different formulas in each document. This is for invoicing, so the columns with the $ numbers can't be changed and I haven't been able to figure out how to not overwrite them when importing another spreadsheet.

I have a spreadsheet with two tabs (Customer Survey Data) and (Customer Rollup). The data starts on line 5 (headers in rows 1 thru 4) and is found in columns B thru J. In column B I have dates with no blanks. In column C I have customer names - no blanks. In column J is are the customer comments - not all customers made a comment so there are blanks.
I created a macro that autofilters the data to show only those entries within a specific date range (dictated by dates found in L1 and L2 - begin and end dates respectively) by column B (no problem with this). The macro also auto removes all rows where there are no comments (column J = no blanks). This leaves me with only those surveys recieved within a specied date range that have comments.
Here is my problem: the Customer Rollup sheet is the finalized report. I need to copy only the customer names and their comments into the finalized report. The following is the macro I put in which only half works and I have no idea why. It copies the names fine...but then only copies the first comment.
Oh yea...I don't want to copy the WHOLE column...only from the first visible row down to the last. Btw...I put a lot of notes for myself...I capitalized the notes where I think the problem is...Any suggestions on how to fix it or why it just doesnt seem to work like it should?

I would love to be able to limit the number of rows in a specific sheet so that I can quickly carry formulas to the bottom of a worksheet without carrying them to row 1,048,576. I'm aware of options to hide rows and/or to limit the scrolling with the "view code" option on the worksheet tab; however, I'm mainly worried about worksheet performance. When I carry a formula down, I don't want to see a spinning blue circle run for minutes at a time, and I'm hoping to avoid the same spinning circle when I undo my formula. Is there any way to actually limit the number of rows, or is there any other limitation I could put in that would increase worksheet performance?

I am new to VB Macro creation and I am creating VB Macro which will:
1. Sort data in Columns within an active spreadsheet
2. Create new Worksheets
3. Delete Values in rows based on value in Column.
I have listed my "Step by Step" instructions in the tblTest Excel file on attachment. The instructions are clear and straight to the point.
Below are some VB Macros I was experimenting with but it is not complete.

I have a large order spreadsheet with 3 date related columns. One for customer requested delivery date, one for factory quoted delivery date and one for actual delivery date.
I want to be able to set something up that if it gets near either the requested or quoted delivery date (by say a week), that the cell flags red so it's a visual reminder to check whether the order has been dispatched etc.

how to create a loop that grabs the ( t'th ) cell and prints into columns on the spreadsheet adjacently that cell and the ones before it (total = t) and repeats it consecutively until there are no more cells to transcribe into columns. For example - I have n=100 cells in a column that need to be placed into n-t columns (where t = 5 for example).
See image below for clarification, code to follow:
As you can see I need it to fill out in the yellow highlighted cells the rest of that pattern. Right now it only does it for one column, but every time I try to get it to do the rest of the columns, it prints the same first column over and over again (I'm having some severe mental block with implementing the correct loop code).
For clarification also, the user selects the t'th cell and it prints that cell and the previous (3 in this case)... and then it shifts down one cell and prints those 4 cells into the next column - which is what I want it to do.
Sub populate_range()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim rowoffset As Integer
Dim offsetnumber As Integer
rowoffset = Range("F2")
offsetnumber = Range("F2")
Range("d5:iv5").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Selection.ClearContents
Sheet1.Select
Range("b4").Select
ActiveCell.Offset([offsetnumber], 0).Select
Range(ActiveCell, ActiveCell.Offset(-([offsetnumber] - 1), 0)).Select
Selection.Copy............................

I have a spreadsheet for a couple hundred rows of data, and 6 columns. The fifth column contains a date. What I need to figure out is this:for every 3 rows of data, if the date diffes in column 5 (E), highlight this row and the previous 2 rows
Currently, I've been doing this all manually, row by row - needless to say, it takes me a few hours or depending on how much other work I need to do, a few days.
