Prevent Deletion & Allow Entry
May 2, 2007
I am trying to complete a spreadsheet that will be shared by several users but have come across a slight problem. I need them to be able to enter text into blank cells but when the the text has been enetered for them not to be able to delete or edit it again in columns A & B. They should also not be able to delete rows or columns. I have tried with other peoples help but as soon as the spreadsheet becomes a shared document I get a run-time error 1004 when entering in any box

I am trying to write a VBA code that prevents the user from deleting row 8.
I do not want to use the sheet protection with password approach.
I simply want a code that prevents the user from deleting row 8 and notifies him via MSGBOX that such action is prohibited.

Is it possible to prevent a particular sheet from being deleted?
I have a workbook that contains sheets (of course). One of the sheets
serves as a "Help" sheet. I don't want users to accidentally (or intentionally)
delete just this sheet.

Is it possible to make it so that a user cannot delete or add sheets to a work book, except through buttons assigned to macros? I've tried simply locking them, but these sheets need to be accessed to input and manipulate data. I have the macros necessary to delete/add sheets, but right now they are redundant since the user can simply do it manually.

I have a worksheet with multiple entry boxes in a row. Depending on the value in one row, another row will either yield the result from a formula, or remain blank, and this cell needs to be locked. I was able to do this by first putting the formula into the destination cell, and then using custom data validation that says the cell value = "". So this prevents anyone from typing in that cell, no matter if it yields the formula result or must stay blank. What it doesn't protect against is someone deleting the contents of the cell. The reason I don't want to protect the cell is because I want people to be able to highlight the whole row past that cell and delete it all at once. So either using Data Validation, a formula, or VB programming I need to not allow someone to do ANYTHING to that cell, even delete the contents, without locking the cell. Hopefully it can be done, thanks!
For example, if E17 = "X", then K17 = INPUT!$M$28*J17. If E17 <> "X" then K17 is blank. Either way, I don't want any typing or deleting of K17. This applies for range K17:K91, and corresponding E17:E91.

I have a huge worksheet with 26 columns and 1200 rows. This worksheet is updated by 4 people everyday. Column C, H, N & R are updated daily by these 4 people so these are dynamic columns so to speak. I would like to have a VBA that informs that particular individual when he enters a duplicate data, maybe a popup saying duplicate entry.

I have a entry form in which i want to register customers. the first field is the customer number (which is unique(created by me) for every customer). This is TextBox 1 in the document. I would like to search for duplicates in worksheet 2, collumn A, when pressing "enter" to move from TextBox 1 to TextBox 2. A search for duplicates should start and a message should appear " duplicate found" if found, otherwise continue to TextBox 2 for further entry of information.
Please see my attached document for clarification.

I have created a userform with 3 text boxes. It also has three buttons - clear, Cancel and Generate record button.
User form takes entries in the three text boxes and on clicking the Generate Record button, the values of the three Text Boxes are inserted in Column A, B and C of sheet1. The columns keep on populating with new data on each submit in the row below the last record.
Now it is required to enter data only if the value entered in TextBox1 is new and has not been entered previously in column A. If textbox entry is already aviailable in column A, a message box of 'Record available' shoud be prompted and the text entry must not be allowed until the data entered in TextBox1 is not unique.

I have a userform with several textboxes and 2 comboboxes. The data that I need protected from duplication is based in the comboboxes. If I ignore the other fields and presume the following it may be easier to understand:
The comboboxes are populated by the data stored in sheet1 and when the userform is complete, the OK button populates all the data into sheet2
Combobox1 contains names eg, John, Julie, Bob etc
Combobox2 contains colours eg, Red, Blue, Green etc
I want the userform to allow the data to be entered into sheet2 only if it is not an exact duplicate of the choices in BOTH of the comboboxes
For Example
John Red
Julie Red
Bob Blue
John Blue
These are all ok, however, to try and enter John Red again would bring up a message box indicating a duplicate entry and prevent the data from being entered.

If A1 = "Yes"
Then don't allow input into cells B1 and C1. Or delete anything in B1 and C1 perhaps?
Cell A1 would be the result of a formula
How would I go about creating something like the above?

I am having a sheet where I keep track of when online surveys have been sent to users. The users enail address (column K) may be on the list for several times, but I need to make sure that there is at least a 7 days pause between sending the first mail and the second, depending on the visit date (column G).If there are less than 7 days between two entries with the same email address, the user is not qualified for taking another survey.
I was thinking to write an IF formula which returns either 1 or 0 and then let conditional formatting highlight and HIDE the row via a VBA loop.

Is there a formula that will allow me to look for the existence of any number value in a row of one worksheet and then return a specific number value in a cell on another worksheet? For example, if the formula finds any number value it will always return the number 15 to a cell on another worksheet.

I used a form with textboxes for data input for one of my vb macros. Currently I have the private sub from the form transfer those entries to a remote cell on the spreadsheet, (like in column "HZ"), so that the macro that will actually utilize them can retrieve them. Is there a way to pass that data directly from what is entered in the form in the textboxes to the macro that will actually use them?

Excel 2003 - VBA - How do you detect when a row has been deleted in VBA? Better yet, how do you detect when a row is about to be deleted? I also would like to know the row number. I do not see an event handler that will inform me of the "Delete" event.

I have an Excel sheet that is similar to the following:
Customer----- contract ----- value
XYZ ------- 123 ------------- $50
ABC ------- 987 ------------- $150
XYZ ------- 123 ------------- $-50
XYZ ------- 123 ------------- $200
In the above example, I want to delete Row 1 and 3... it is an accounting issue, and when the values of the same contract match (50 and -50) then it needs to be deleted from the Excel sheet (whole row).
I want to leave rows 2 and 4.

I am working on a large Audit project for one of my many bosses and I am a little stumped so I came to the experts. I have a list that is organized randomly and we need to have 95% of the cells deleted. I don't want to have to go through each time and calculate that out each time.
I am sure that I would have to find the last cell used in one of the columns and then multiply that by 95% and then delete from that row down in the sheet. (Since the sheet is already organized randomly it can delete the bottom 95% of rows.) I am not sure how to put it all together.

I have read several posts on this subject as well as the two common methods recommended by Dave. Hovever, I have not been able to incorporate the other thread recommendations to my specific problem. I want to delete entire rows based on the absence of a matching criteria from a list on another tab. Example: Tab1 contains a list of names in A1:A15. Tab2 contains rows of data wherein column C lists names that may or may not be in the list on Tab1. I want to delete rows that have a name in column C that does not match any of the names in the list on Tab1 A1:A15. Here is the code I have pieced together thus far:
Sub Delete_elimntd_players()
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Sheets("QB").Select
Range("C2").Select
Do Until ActiveCell.Value = ""
If ActiveCell.Value <> 'NEED CODE HERE' Then
ActiveCell.EntireRow.Delete
Else
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
End If
Loop
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

I have been pulling my hair out for hours now trying to figure this out. I want is to figure out is how to compare an address in Column C to an Address in Column H, If they don't match I want excel to delete the row. I have 7500 rows to compare. I have read lots of posts and looked at the code for delete row conditional but I don't seem to be able to put it all together.

I have a workbook with particular worksheets that should never be deleted. If they are deleted by the user the workbook will become unusable.
The users need the freedom to edit data within the sheets (so protecting them is not an option), however, I need to restrict this freedom so that they cannot under any circumstance delete the sheet. Is there such code that I could use in the worksheet code to stop this?

I have a SS in 2007 with 7 text boxes on it. When I go into developer and select them, they all have the same name in the name box of TextBox 68.
I would like to be able to clear all the text in the boxes and have yet to come up with any code to tackle this. Why do they all have the same name?

I have some code that works fine below. It deletes an entire row based on the value in column J.
Ideally I would like to give the user the option to choose which column to base the deletion on. i.e. some kind of drop down box or input parameter where they could choose a different column "A", "B", "C" etc...
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
'Removes values less than 0
Dim rng As Range, cell As Range, del As Range
Set rng = Intersect(Range("J1:J1000"), ActiveSheet.UsedRange)
For Each cell In rng
If (cell.Value)

I have a shared spreadsheet which contains only very simple "sum" formula's and I am trying to stop users accidently deleting them when they are inputting numbers.
I have tried using data validation, but that only stopped people overwriting the formula and not deleting them.
I also tried protecting the sheet, leaving only a cell range which users were allowed to edit, which worked... BUT I also have several rows which are grouped and when I protect the sheet, I cannot collapse and/or expand these groups.

I currently have a macro set up to delete rows if a certain user selected value is not found in a certain column. It works fine if the sheet isn't overly large but the problem is we have some spreadsheets with 25,000+ rows and it takes time to loop through - I'm not sure if there is even a way to make it faster.
Currently it works by looping backwards on the sheet checking each value in the cell versus an array containing the user selected values. If a match isnt found it deletes this row.
'y = long value representing row
'x = counter for each item in user selected array
'wsSheet = worksheet we are using
'rowLast = last row on spreadsheet
'arrSearch() = string containing user selected items
i have screenupdating/calculations/events turned off - i just didnt know if there was a faster way of looping through
i just thought about instead of doing an array maybe joining the array into 1 string and using a "like" comparison check to see if a match is found - would save me from having to constantly loop x * y amount of times - not sure if this would work or not. ill post back if it doesn't
