I know that a workbook/spreadsheet can be made a readonly, but i find that this can be altered even if password protected.
I m looking for is a way of making it so when the user has finished entering in data and they save it, ready to send to anther user to view, that the whole sheet is readonly with no way of editing it ( like protecting the whole sheet).
I run a model in Excel that automatically saves my file every xx iterations. After saving the file I want to make a backup of the file. Tried
[Code] .....
but get a permission denied error message.
I don't want to use .SaveAs as it is a huge file that takes a while to save and SaveAs has a tendency to break links that should not be broken..
I do not want the user to be able to change the workbook.
I will put a small macro to export any specific sheet which the user can change into to a new workbook.
For the main file (which the user can interact with, but is not allowed to overwrite), what is the concensus- make it Readonly or save as a template?
I think the template option looks quite fancy. I also think, but I'm not sure, that a ReadOnly can be undone by the user?
I'm leaning towards template format, but I don't really know it. Are there any significant disadvantages?
I have a workbook that is a formatted report that I need to insert data from a name variable "CSV" file. I have created a macro in this workbook that calls an "Open" dialog for CSV files that I can use to browse to and open the source file. The macro then is supposed to "select all" copy and close the workbook then make the original workbook active and paste the data starting at row 2. The macro "seems" to be working perfectly except when I do the open the macro then makes the original workbook active, selects all copies then wants to close the original workbook. How can I tell the macro that the csv file that I just opened should be the active workbook, baring in mind that the name won't be known before the time it's opened so I can't hardcode the "active. workbook (NAME) "route.
I've got a basic spreadsheet that I edit at home and at work, and I am always forgetting to either email it to myself or copy it to a flash drive. So I figure I'll use my ISPs webspace given to me, and then just edit it on the ftp site from home and work so there is just one copy. I can add the ftp site and my name and password in Excel fine. BUT when I open it, it is always read only. How do I open it with write access? I have specified my ftp username and password in Excel.
View 2 Replies View RelatedA VBA problem has given me a workbook with two sheets. The first one lists the product names and their unit prices, and there is a third column labeled quantity purchased that is blank. The second sheet is an invoice, which will list the product name, the unit price, the number of units sold and the total price of the purchase. Assignment is to create a sub that will automatically fill out the invoice with any number I type into the blank column. Any good code to get two sheets to correspond in that way?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn my VBA macro, it copies data from this.workbook, and paste to another "destination" workbook. That destination workbook must be opened first before the macro is run.
Within the Macro code, I had to specify the exact name of the workbook which the data is pasted to.
The problem is that the exact name of that workbook which it paste to changes every week.
Is there any method where my macro can be changed and updated with the name of the destination workbook each week without manually opening and editing the code. The user of this.workbook is not technical enough to edit and maintain the macro each week
I am creating 4 Sheets from a Main Sheet by Filtering Data based on different values in a fixed column, then the Filtered Rows are automatically pasted in the respective sheets.
Then these 4 Sheets are creating another file.
The same thing done manually by Grouping the 4 SHeets and then Move Copy into a New workbook also makes the file heavier.
Everything works fine however though the data is not much the file is very heavy, so what do i do to make it of appropriate size ?
I am making a simple map in excel. I have my floor plan on sheet 1 and the location of product on the floor on sheet 2.
Currently I have some formulas on sheet 1 that link to some sales data on sheet 2, but what I would really like to be able to do is use the search function on page 1 and it give me the location of the products in a given area.
The data is broken up into group location on the second sheet.
I have four columns containing about 200 addresses.
A Names
B Streets
C Cities
D Phone no.
If I write a name in D1 I want to get the corresponding street, city and phone no. in E1, F1 and G1.
I also want to copy the formula downwards let's say ten times so I can make a list.
If I for example just want to make a list of three names (D1-D3) I want the rest of the fields to stay blank.
I've created an Add-in (.xlam file) in Excel 2007 and installed and activated it (it shows up under "Active Application Add-ins" on the Add-in menu for new workbooks).
I can see the macros and code when I go to the VBA editor, but the macros don't show up in the regular macro list.
I know that I can write code for the new workbook that will reference the Add-in code, but I want other users to be able to install the add-in and run the macros in it right away without any knowledge of VBA. Is there a way to make this possible?

View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a spread sheet that tracks progress reports that are due every 90 days. I have a due date colum that will automatically get high lighted if the 90 days have passed to inform me or my staff that the report is late. I would like to have a colum with a button in each row that allows the reader of the spreadsheet to press "YES" for that accont's progress report having been turn in. When the "YES" button is pressed the date due date column advances to the next 90 day due date and the highlight would turn off.
I used the conditional format to change the due date column to Yellow if =TODAY() is less then or equal to the due date. But I can figure out a way to select something and turn the highlight off and advance the due date to the next 90 day due date.
I have been asked to make a formula that sums up the hours in a week and then tells me whether I am below or over the budgeted hours for that week!
I cant get it to work since I cant figure out how to have the same formula in all the cell that sums up early, mid and late shifts, ie 06-14, 14-22, 22-06.
The graveyard shift is a problem there since I get negative hours.
Further more, I need to have the formula ignore cells to be added up if it has letters in it, we write an R for Rostered day off.
............Beer........ Total
Stefan:....1........... 0,70€
Now i need a button that when i click on the name the amount 1 gets 2,3,4,5,6, ect and that it calculates the price up as a total
1- I 'm working with a table wit many Sheets.
I want to make a Report Sheet with selective ranges(cells)
the selective cells should paste as link ( in order to be updated cells)
2- then how to Zip this worksheet to zip file ( to save it)
3- If I have a Macro and i want to perform this macro to all sheet except one sheet how to that ?
I would like to:
1-Make Rows & columns 1/4" X 1/4"
2-Be able to enter dimensions into an input box that would then draw a square(or rectagle) with the inputed dimensions in INCHES.
In Column B of my spreadsheet i have a drop down that only allows users to enter "Yes" or "No"
Is it possible to make Column C a required field if "No" is selected in column B.
So basically if cell b4 is "No" then i want to make it manditory that cell C4 is filled out with a reason why.
Same thing for cell b5 then i would like cell c5 filled out before they continue using the sheet. etc.
I am a Coach who will be using this data table to call pitches via a catcher's wristband. The band is obviously completed below; however, I need to create a separate sheet where the numbers correlate to the pitches that are being called. How it works: everything in the table(s) with a dash is a pitch i.e. 2-1, 1-3, 1-U, etc. The numbers on the columns and row are what is relayed to the catcher to call the corresponding pitch. For example, I would signal is 113 (first number = row second number = column). 113 is 4-1. I need a way/ formula to where I can see which numbers are to be relayed in for each pitch. It would possible look like 2-1: 101, 411, 422, 501, etc.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI built what I can only describe as a fantastic spreadsheet. It wasn't until after that I realized it is 123 MB in size, but even for the complexities within it, it still feels like that is quite large.
I can't share the file due to proprietary reasons, but any general tips as to things I can do to make it smaller (and therefore faster to run).
I tried saving it as a binary spreadsheet and that dropped it to about 80 MB, but I don't really know what that does and if it will impact the sheet performance in any way.
I'v got a school task about making a excel worksheet.
But we have just started and i havent gotten all the functions to work yet.
The task itself is :
Make function that tests if D9 is larger then 100 and I9 is less then 50. If true "Kontroll" if not "OK" should be written.
Also, if "Kontroll" shows up it should have a dark green "OK " should just be black
Its roughly translated from norwegian. If you need some more information I will try to provide it
i have a cell "h23" that must always start with a "j" or a "J"
the trouble is some of my users are only putting in the number
ie 2345 when it should be j2345 or J2345
I know I posted this same topic about a week ago but I went through the first 20 pages on the forum and couldt find it, i tried the search option and nothing came up. I have several worksheets in the same workbook. When I enter a number in one cell in work sheet A, I want the same number to show up in a given cell on work sheet B. How do I do this? I can make words move from one shet to the next but numbers dont seem to be the same.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI've run into an issue for which I can find no elegant solution. I consider myself a competent Excel user, so it's pretty embarassing...
What I want to do is to sum the values along the 'axes' of the table. In order to fully explain that, I'll give a small example:

I have a workbook of contracts that I have designed in excel. Each worksheet tab/title is the contract number, i.e. 3487. On each individual contract I have the contact name, address etc. Each cell/field is in the same position on every contract. In other words, every B1 is the Group name, every B2 is the first name, every C2 is the last name, etc. What I'm trying to do is to make a new page with all of the contact info on it so I can make labels etc. I hope this is clear.
View 5 Replies View RelatedHow do you make a cell appear blank when it has a formula in it refering to a cell that hasnt been used yet?
I would like some cells to be blank instead of having #N/A in them.
I have a table which as a few columns, the left column is called name and the far right one is called email. The name cells have a drop down list which refers to another workbook with peoples names, when you select a name other cells are automatically populated using the vlookup function such as phone number, email etc. In the workbook it is referencing too with all the data, the email address are like a hyperlink which creates an outgoing mail if you click on it, is there a way to have this in the table as nothing happens when you ckick on the text.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI made a time sheet. In this time sheet i made a macro where when I press ctrl+t it fills in the date in a column and the time in the column next to it. So to start my day I would press ctrl+t and to end it i would goa column over and repeat the macro. and then i made it so that in the fifth column it adds the 2 times together with this formula "=IF(E27>0,(IF(G27>E27, G27-E27, 1+G27-E27)),"")" formula works fine unless you make a "mistake" and change the ending time manually to a time that is early then the starting time but on the same day. So I wanted to see if there is anyway of the total time column can return an error message if the ending time is earlier then the starting time by looking at the date in both date columns. Im going to attach the workbook to this post. on the tabs on the bottom it is under time sheet. and i think the macros should transfer over too. ctrl+t is the time macro if you want to try it out.
I may have not been so clear on explaining it so ask any questions if that is true.
