I wanted to know if there is a way to lock some sheets in a workbook to prevent anyone to view them. I have a workbook with sheets that have a database, it is shown the frontsheet, and when a person selects an option it will appear a sheet with the data selected initialy. I wanted the other sheet to be hidden and locked so the one goes to the unhide menu and selects a sheet to unhide a msgbox appears to ask a pass code.
View 3 RepliesI have a file with the following sheets: P1, P2, P3, Inventory. This file is sent to different people (users Ab, Ad, An) and P1-P3 sheets are set as "VeryHidden" because we want to avoid for example that user "Ab" can see or unhide certain sheets.
I'm wondering if it's possible to request a password when opening the document then unhide certain sheets according with that password, there will be 3-6 users.
I have 5 sheets, 3 of them are hidden, how can i put a 3 different password to unhide the hidden sheets.
View 6 Replies View RelatedSee I have hidden my sheets and I need them to stay hidden.
But when I need to unhide them, a password should be needed to unhide them.
Maybe add a button on one of the open sheets that when pressed will unhide the sheets but will promt for password.
Am trying to find the VBA code to "ask a user for the password to unhide multiple sheets/tabs"
I have got the script for unhiding all sheets which is:
Sub Sheets_Unhide()
Dim sh As Worksheet
For Each sh In Worksheets
sh.Visible = True
Next
End Sub
What i would like though is for it to prompt with a password first before the code is executed for unlocking 50 odd sheets.. I know its not 100% fool proof, but would do for what i need!
I want to hide selected sheets and when i want to unhide them, ask for password to unhide the sheets.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have column B hidden as it holds information that only certain people should be able to see.
I have a button in column A which when pressed, I would like the following...
1- a prompt box to ask for a password
2-once the password is entered, Column B unhides.
3-once an entry in Column B has been made, it automatically hides again.
I have a range of columns ( J:AH) which i have to hide from the user interface.In order to unhide, the editor must enter a password. He/ She can only enter the password thrice. After 3 times, if it is still wrong, the whole workbook must be closed. Is this possible? If not, I'll settle for something less complicated.
View 9 Replies View RelatedMy problem is that I need column B:B to hide if it's not hidden, if it is hidden to be unhidden via the textbox password box but I don't want the textbox to appear when hitting the button to hide which it does and that then causes me to have to hit the cancel button to leave the column hidden. Here is the code I came up with:
Sub PasswordBoxCode()
ActiveSheet. Unprotect ("13792468")
Columns("B:B").Select
If Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = False Then Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = True
If Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = True Then PasswordBox.Show
ActiveSheet.Protect ("13792468")
Range("A1").Select
End Sub
And then for the userform code I have this:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
If TextBox1.Value = "1379" Then
ActiveSheet.Unprotect ("13792468")
Columns("B:B").Select
Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = False........................
I have a protected sheet so specific people can only see certain things. I would like code to Unhide a tab called "Estimating" and unhide Rows 2 through 9 and rows 24, 26 and 27.
Some sensitive data is held on worksheets that are used by people that do not have access to see the data.
It would be most convenient to keep the data in these worksheets but hide it from view of the users.
Is there a way to password protect a users ability to unhide a column?
I am trying to use the macro I downloaded from OZ Grid called "Enable Macros" to check if macros are enabled. Its works beautifully, except for the fact that it will unhide all sheets if macros are enabled. I would like to only unhide certain sheets. The sheet names are:
Sheet11(Weight & Balance)
Sheet5(Nav Log)
Sheet2(Database)
I believe this is the part of the code that must be modified, but I'm not sure how:
Code:
Public bIsClosing As Boolean
Dim wsSheet As Worksheet
Sub HideAll()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each wsSheet In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
[Code] ..........
Also, I am planning on locking this workbook. If this macro can still run if the workbook is locked?

I receive a lot of excel files and would like a macro that I can run to unhide any and all hidden sheets. The sheets will have different tab names. I looked on this forum and could not find the answer to this question, usually I can.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook with several sheets that I created some time ago. I have hyperlinks on the main sheet which point to other sheets in the same workbook which can be viewed when using the hyperlink, however the linked sheets are hidden. Somehow in this workbook I removed both the horizontal scroll bar and the lsiting of sheet names. I can not figure out how to get them back so I can unhide and or add new sheets.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook with about 20 worksheets in it.
6 are visible
3 are hidden
the remaining are very hidden
I'm creating a "welcome" page to the workbook with instructions on how to update data. The data between the 20 sheets consists of pivot tables, charts and summary data. The Visible sheets are data for management's review (all protected). The 3 hidden sheets are pivot tables that the user needs to pull data from and the very hidden sheets are not to be seen by anyone.
In my "welcome" page, I added the instructions of how to update data, but wanted an area where I could assign a checkbox or button to click on for the user to unhide my 3 hidden sheets (say Sheet1, Sheet2 and Sheet3). I do not want it to unhide my very hidden sheets. Then, when the information needed is retrieved from those sheets, I would like the user to use a checkbox or button to hide the 3 hidden sheets again. Is there a way to do this?
I tried creating custom view but couldn't do that because of the pivot tables (the option was disabled). I'm a beginner in VBA so don't even know how to begin.
I want to run 2 different macros:
Macro 1- hides Sheet1 and unhides Sheet2
Macro 2- Hides Sheet2 and unhides Sheet1
I used the macro recorder to attempt to make this work but am running into a problem if Macro1 is run two times consecutively. In this situation the macro displays a debugging error b/c Sheet1 is hidden. Is there a way to get around this...possibly using an if then statement?
I am making a workbook that populates most of the data off of a data sheet, but i need it to hide the 10 other sheets until they are needed. I was hopint there would be a way to hide all but the data sheet, then use either a drop down box or if necessary a checklist (NOT my first choice, but i'll do it if i have to) to select the sheets that the tech will need to print or e-mail. Is there a way to do this:

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have 16 sheets and 4 additional sheets that will kind of 'Group' these 16sheets. For example: I have 'Sheet1', 'Sheet2', 'Sheet3'......, 'Sheet16'.
4 additional Sheets are: 'Group1', 'Group2', 'Group3', 'Group4'.
I need a help with macro so that when this workbook is open all 20 sheets ('Sheet1', 'Sheet2', 'Sheet3'......, 'Sheet16') will go into hiding and only 4 additional Sheets ('Group1', 'Group2', 'Group3', 'Group4') will be visible. Now, these 4 sheets will have the command button links to the following sheets:
Sheet 'Group1':'Sheet1', 'Sheet2', 'Sheet3', 'Sheet4', 'Hide All'
Sheet 'Group2':'Sheet5', 'Sheet6', 'Sheet7', 'Sheet8', 'Hide All'
Sheet 'Group3':'Sheet9', 'Sheet10', 'Sheet11', 'Sheet12', 'Hide All'
Sheet 'Group4':'Sheet13', 'Sheet14', 'Sheet15', 'Sheet16', 'Hide All'
This being said, when you click on each command buttons, the respective sheets will open up and when click on 'Hide All', all of the open sheets for that *additional sheet' for example sheet 'Group1' will go into hiding again.
I pulled some code off the internet to “force” users to enable macros by hiding all sheets except a “Welcome Page”. It works great except that it also unhides sheets that are meant to be hidden by when the workbook is opened.
How would I adjust the following code so any sheets/ tabs containing the words “New Project” are not automatically unhidden? Below is the code pertaining to unhiding. I did not paste the code in its entirety as it is fairly long.
Option Explicit
Const WelcomePage = "Macros"
Private Sub ShowAllSheets()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If Not ws.Name = WelcomePage Then ws.Visible = xlSheetVisible
Next ws
Worksheets(WelcomePage).Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
End Sub
I would like to unhide specified multiple sheets in a workbook at one go. What I'm doing now is something like this:
Sheets("Source 1").Visible = True
Sheets("Source 2").Visible = True
Sheets("Source 3").Visible = True
Sheets("Source 4").Visible = True
I managed to get the array function when I want to hide the sheets:
Sheets(Array("Source 1", "Source 2", "Source 3", "Source 4")).Select
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.Visible = False
but I can't do this when I want to unhide them. I do not want to unhide all sheets in the workbook, only those I specify in the code. How can I use the something like the array code to unhide the sheets.
I am trying to create a spreadsheet which will open with sheet1 showing 'Terms and conditions' with 2 check box's. Once the check box's are checked I then want subsequence sheets to unhide. E.g check box 1 ticked - will unhide sheet 2 - (containing the report) check box 2 ticked - will unhide sheet 3 - (containing the data)
Basically, by the use of check box's I am trying to get the user to read and agree to terms/disclaimer of the use of data. Therefore can the workbook also always open with the one sheet 'terms and conditions' showing only.
I have a workbook which has roughly 50 sheets. What I'm trying to do is automatically hide/unhide sheets based on the cell values in the first sheet. So in sheet1 cell A1 i would a value of FALSE which would trigger sheets1, 2, & 3 to hide, when that value changes to TRUE then those same sheets would unhide. I need to replicate that for the 10 corresponding sets of sheets, but for each grouping of sheets a different cell in sheet1 would be the trigger, cell A2 = sheets 4 - 10, cell A3 = sheets 11 - 20, etc.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI found this very nice code on this site that changes the names of my sheets based on the first sheet, works great. What I want though is to have the sheets be unhidden when their name changes from the generic name "sheet1" to whatever else we call it. Can this code be manipulated to do that? I want the sheets whose names do not change to stay hidden, the others to unhide.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim lCount As Long
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
On Error Resume Next
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A2:A11")) Is Nothing Then

Sheets(lCount).Name = Me.Cells(lCount, "A")
End If

I want to make a hidden sheet visible. Except that i want to use the name of the sheet (the thing that stays the same even when you change the sheet tab name). I also want to select the name based on a variable called Year which the user adds elsewhere (eg as 2006).
wf = "WF_Edin_" + Year 'So for 2006 this would read WF_Edin_2008
wf.Visible = True
The above doesnt work as wf becomes a string which i dont think i want do i?
I have several workbooks, and the workbooks can include several sheets. Is there's an easy way to create a macro so the user selection to be hidden or unhidden is hidden or unhidden in all sheets in the workbook. E.g. if the user selection is to hide rows 54-189, the macro hides rows 54-189 in all sheets in the workbook.
View 2 Replies View RelatedUsing Excel 2007, I have a workbook with 7 sheets. The first one is a Navigation Page where I have checkboxes (form controls, not active X) with the names of the other 6 sheets. When the box(es) are checked, the sheet(s) become visible. I have accomplished this by assigning macros I recorded.
I need to now add the opposite: When the box(es) are unchecked, the sheets become hidden. From googling and looking for other threads/forums here, I gather that I need to add code/ VBA, but I know nothing about these at all.
i want to hide and unhide headings from all sheets at once (Excel 2013)
View 8 Replies View RelatedThere is 2 parts to my question and I will explain them as best as i can.
1. I have a front sheet and 12 other sheets ( 1 for each month of the year) they all have the same layout. On my front sheet I want to create a button which will capture the sheet onto my front sheet for the current month, whether this means to make 12 buttons to choose which month is displayed on the front sheet or one that detects the date by system time i dont mind.
2. These 12 sheets will ideally be hidden and what I am wanting is again, on the front sheet 12 buttons for each sheet to bring up the corresponding hidden sheet so they can be viewed, and then on each of the 12 sheets another button which will hide them and return the user to the front sheet.
