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?
How can I lock the contents of an array so that they won't disappear when using auto-filter. "Freeze Panel" doesn't seem to do the job properly.

what am trying to do is to make column c to be frozen or locked or whatever you want to call it, so if I insert a cell in A4 shifting to the right, the value in B4 jumps to D4 without shifting the yellow cell
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.

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
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 Replies View RelatedI'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)?
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

The macro should check for last non-empty cell in column F starting F11 (assume it finds F30 to be last non-empty cell), then it should clear the contents of G11 to G30, H11 to H30.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have created an Excel spreadsheet teachers schedule for a small school with 8 teachers. I have assigned a number to each teacher (1 - 8) so that a number typed in a cell in Column E will cause a teachers name to appear in a cell in Column G. The ranges are E3:E20 and G3:G20. I hope to find a Macro that will display each teachers name in a different color.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have the file here i work with, basically the first column is a legend and the column to the right of it is a pointer column to help me find out where a legend is located in another file. So i was wondering if a macro could be made to basically find where the "legend column" A, C, E ect ends ( every other column is a legend column , one next to it is a pointer column ). and then combine the ends all of the columns contents and put them into 1 column.
In the file with this question i have showed you what i start off with, i highlighed in yellow where each column legend ends, ( normally these are not highlighted and i find them manually ). In the 2nd tab i show what the end result should be. All the columns are now consolidated into 1 column. 1 after the other.
I have a spreadsheet with rows of data. I need a formula that will return the column number of the last column in a row where there is a value >0.
Let's say that cells A1:F1 contain values. Some have values of 0 while others have values >0. I need a formula in cell G1 that will tell me the column number of the last value >0.
A B C D E F
0 2 5 0 6 0
So the formula in G1 would return a value of 5, which corresponds to column E.
I have a list that is streets and addresses. All contained in column A. Cell A1 is the street name and then Column A3 is the street number. This repeats down column A for almost 1000 street names. I need to fill column B3 with the street name, as well as B4, B5, B6, etc until the street name changes. I was trying to do this with an if..then but couldn't get it to work. I also tried to work on a do.. loop looking for the change from a string to number. But my programming is a little rusty. If anyone can help I was be forever grateful. I mean the alternative is to sit here and copy and paste all day.

how do you freeze the top row (header row) so that it stays at the top of the worksheet as you scroll down?

View 10 Replies View RelatedI am looking to freeze row 18 in an excel sheet, however in doing so this really limits the amount of rows below row 18 that can be viewed and scrolled through.
I would like to know if there is any way that you could freeze row 18 and when you scroll down on the worksheet, you can scroll down past rows 1-17 and when row 18 reaches the top row it would lock there? And you would then be able to continue scrolling down the worksheet beyond row 18..
I am having problems with the VBA Editor freezing at the most inconvenient of times when writing code and then clicking to the Sheet I'm working on, it just freezes up the whole of Excel and it has to be shut down and opened up again.
It seems like a memory problem at first, but there is sufficient memory
( 768Mgs, OS is XP Pro, Excel 2000, 9.02).
The work is not lost becuase I'm able to Save even at PC Re-boot, fortunately.
I've tested on 2 different PC's and the same happens. The only way to avoid the freeze it seems, is before I switch to view a worksheet, is to Save then click off VBA Editor and re-open.
When doing so, another symptom is it seems a huge amount of memory is freed up, ( pardon the terminology)
There is also a message that pops up when re-opening that same workbook that there are Formulas Linked to another workbook, but unable to find any after tediously searching every worksheet by using "Find, Look in Formula" there is nothing found, yet.
This freezing may happen twice a minute whilst pointing the mouse cursor from any VBA Edit window or worksheet and it's getting to a point of repetitiously having to Save, click off VBA Editor, and Click back on again each time I need to look at a respective Worksheet.
I would like to have the column titles stay so I have frozen row 1. But I would also like to freeze row 200 so I can keep up with the running totals at the bottom of the form as I fill in information. Is it possible to freeze a pain at the top and the bottom?

I've frozen the sheet so that the top four rows are always visible, but unfortunately the sheet is quite large, horizontally-speaking, so that when users scroll horizontally, important stuff scrolls off the screen.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a table that is frozen in b5 meaning that the first column ("A") and rows 1-4 are frozen. The table is large with ever expanding rows. What I want to do is, a good few rows down (say row 300), freeze the row at the bottom of my view and use that row as a mean average row. Therefore allowing me to enter much more data above, but constantly be able to see the averages of the data I am adding.

In my search on this forum, i found this macro to supposedly lock in the dates, but i doesn't work.
VBA:

How can I freeze a sheet's tab location so it doesn't roll off of the screen? I have a workbook with 30 worksheets all hyperlinked off of the 1st sheet which is the INDEX sheet. The INDEX sheet only exists to make it easier for users to go directly to their desired sheet without tabbing horizontally through many sheet names. However when users use the bottom left arrow buttons to tab through the worksheets, the leftmost INDEX worksheet tab scrolls off of their screen. I realize that they can right click on the left/right tabbing arrows to see a list of all worksheet names, but it would be nice if the INDEX worksheet tab never rolled off of the horizontal tab scroll bar.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a worksheet (Data Lookup) that initially I just required row 1 to be frozen. Now my worksheet would be much easier to read if I was able to freeze row 115 and row 263 when they reached the top of the sheet respectively.
e.g. Row 1 frozen, when I scroll down the sheet and row 115 hits row 1 that would also be frozen and the same with row 263 when it comes into contact with row 115.
I have looked around and cant find a solution and to be honest I'm not sure if it is even possible.
I know I can freeze panes eithe across a column or row but is it possibleto do both at the same time so that I can have a header row and a few columns on the left of the screen frozen?
