Password Lock Hidden Column / Row
Feb 22, 2008Is there a way to lock a column hidden so that it can't be unhidden? Maybe with a password? I tried saving the file with a password but I could still go in and "unhide" that column.

View 3 RepliesI have a excel document with 5 tabs (sheets) and, because different people work with a different tab (sheet), I want to lock each tab (sheet). I want the tab to be visible on the tab bar but when you click on it you will not be able to see the content of that tab (sheet) until you provide the right password (each tab with a different pasword).
View 2 Replies View RelatedThe small attached "Demo2" file indicates my problem. In the "Scorecard" sheet I'm using macros driven from listbox menus to hide or unhide rows on the "Tasks" sheet. It is VITAL that the rows on the "Tasks" sheet not be deleted or have new rows inserted. But, if I Protect them then the list box macros won't function. Is there a macro that will allow these macros to hide or unhide rows without allowing a user to add or delete these rows in the "Tasks" sheet? If possible a simple "global" solution is preferred as I have 100+ If/Then entries to contend with...

I've got a work book with numourous password protected sheets which i quite often have to update (as i use around 10 of these with at least 10 sheets in each its time consuming). I've had several goes at creating 2 macros to unlock and then lock the sheets (with my password). I've managed to create on that unlocks the sheets using the password but i can't get a macro to lock the sheets up again using the password.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using some VBA I found here to password protect a hidden sheet. It works perfectly for 1 sheet, but I am trying to hide 6 but am having problems. Under the HideSheets part I've modified it fine, by using
Sub HideSheets()
'Set worksheet to Very Hidden so that it can only be unhidden by a macro
Worksheets("Confidential1").Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
Worksheets("Confidential2").Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
Worksheets("Confidential3").Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden

I have a worksheet with employees names and their overtime hours worked that week. I would like to add some code to a button that will prompt for a password. If that password matches a predefiened password then lock a range of cells and place a time stamp next to the button and maybe change the button color of the button to Red. Now if the person with the password wants to change the locked cells, they can click the button again and enter the password and the button will turn green so they can make the changes. I would like the time stamp to be updated every time the cells are locked. Also wanted to have one button for every work week so about four buttons per worksheet. Here is an example of the worksheet. The range of cells I want to lock are the ones in bold.

Currently, my excel is protected with a password "PSWD" when users open the file. In my vba script, I have a function that can unprotect my excel without any password input box to the users. This method is to unprotect the file and allow users to do any formating columns and rows tasks, such as add or delete cells. After users finish their job, the file will be protected back. The function is such as below:
Dim wSheet As Worksheet
For Each wSheet In Worksheets
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
If wSheet.ProtectContents = True Then
wSheet.Unprotect Password:="PSWD"
Else
My questions are:
1. How I can create a hidden sheet that has one cell populated only?
2. How can I assign the password that the user enters at the "TextBox1" (first code) to a cell of of the hidden sheet? Do I have to modify the first code?
3. For the second code, how am I going to assign the value to at the wSheet.Unprotect/Protect Password:="..." with whatever the user has previously chosen as a password that refers at the hidden sheet?
I've looked through this wonderful sight and haven't found one close to my project. I am a bit rusty on VB programming. I am working on workbook that contains multiple worksheets. Each worksheet is hidden and is accessible with a login and password so that only a specific user can access. My question is: How do I modify this so that the manager can open the workbook and view ALL worksheets without having to enter the login name and password for all of his users? Any help would be great. Thank you!!
Below is what I have so far: ....
I have Excel Sheet that open with user name and password.
Like if it's open my Admin - he can view all Sheets
If open by any user - it opens only users sheet.
Problem is once file is saved by any users, all hidden files get unhidden and Admin Sheet is open.
Requirement: if User1 saves file other sheets should not get unhidden.
When I hide columns in a column chart the different fill colors I used on specific columns no longer show up with the colors I originally had. Is there a way to maintain the proper sequence of column fill colors even when some columns are hidden?

I am trying to create titles for columns. I can do that by just creating them in the cells above the data. The problem is that the titles sort into the data using the sorting feature. When I lock any cells and protect them, the sorting is locked out. Can I use some sort of header over the columns that remains in place where I can still sort the data below, by clicking on the column and sorting?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to format all cells on all sheets (hidden or otherwise) as "Locked" so when the sheets are protected the user can't see the formulas. This macro individually selects every sheet in the book and applys the formatting. Is there a way to modify this code to accomplish the same thing without having it actually select every sheet? The only reason it is an issue is that after running the macro you end up on the last sheet in the book.

I have few column values to count. I don't want the hidden column value. In that formula the hidden value also counted. How to ignore that hidden column value count, using macro/formula.
eg:
col A - col B - col C - col D - col E - col F
Task -- ok1 -- ok2 -- no1 --- ok3 -- ok4
Col D should be hidden. Final count result should be: OK = 4; No=0
I have multiple tables that populate with data based on a combination of metrics that are tied to various dropdown menus. Whenever a combination of metrics yields a row without a value in at least one cell, then that row is automatically hidden. My problem is that while the rows are hidden, the column number's don't adjust. For example, if row 3 is hidden in a table with 5 rows, then the column numbers appear as 1, 2, 4, 5 (the table will shift from 5 rows to 4).
