I have set a set of cells to calculate dates from other cells and locked it so that people can not edit the date. The date will be automatically populated. However when i lock the cell, a debug error comes up says runtime 1004. I reckoned that when the column or cell is locked from editing, it will also unable to populate or run calculations. am i right?
View 9 RepliesI 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'm creating a map like image with Excel, and I've set the column width and row height to certain dimensions. Now I'm entering in some text into them, and I noticed that when I added in 2 digit numbers, the column width expanded a little bit. I want to prevent this from happening, and still be able to enter in the 2 digit text (since it WILL fit, and it's expanding to keep that extra bit of space).
Is there any way to lock the dimensions?
The first five columns of my table contain row titles. I'd like to keep these columns stationary while I scroll horizontally through the remainder of the columns.
As it is now, only the row number remains stationary, but I really don't need the numbers, just the row titles.
Is there any way to do this? And would this also be possible with column headings (so I can scroll down without them moving up)?
I'm using Excel 2003 and was wondering if there was a way I could Lock/Freeze the contents of a column. For Example:
Cell A1 has the formula =B1+C1+E1 - figure shown is £405
Cell A2 has the formula =C2+D2+E2 - figure shown is £650
Is there anyway I can freeze column A so when I delete column B,C,D,E ect the correct figure will still show?
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 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 9 Replies View RelatedThis 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
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have an excel sheet wherin there is a column that has the data where in the dates are displayed and many other columns.
I get this excel every Thursday so i want to filter this date column in such a way that it give me the data related to the date of the previous week only yet there is a catch here. When i say previous week i mean.
Suppose today is 03/14/14 then i want the data from 03/07/14 till today ie Last week friday to this week full( so cant use Current week option) and then paste it in a new sheet.
I tried the Record part but in that it is taking a hard coded value as i am selecting the date myself. I dont want to change the date manually every time.
this was the macro that was created
Code:
ActiveSheet.Range("$A$1:$BX$58").AutoFilter Field:=1, Operator:= _
xlFilterValues, Criteria2:=Array(1, "3/10/2014")

ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=COUNT(R[-4]C:R[-1]C)"

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.

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:
