Prevent Changing Value In Cell
Jun 15, 2009I want to allow users to select a cell in a column, but not allow them to change the contents of the cell. Also, don't want to allow them to select all the cells on the sheet.
I'm guessing that I need to use the Change event, and restore the contents back to what they were before the change.
Is there a better way to do this?
Prevent Cell From Displaying - #VALUE
Sep 3, 2008Am trying to create a simple spreadsheet with some multiplication functions on it. Using this example:
Cell A1 = 5 (multiplicand) x
Cell A2 = 10 (multiplier) =
Cell A3 = 50 (product)
All is well providing I have a number value in cells A1 and A2. When I don't, I would like them to remain blank, as well as A3, the product. The problem I face is when I remove the values in either A1 or A2, what's displayed in A3 turns to the word - #VALUE!. Which also shows up on the printed page.
My question is, like removing the checkmark for "zero values" under tools and options to prevent the "0"'s from being displayed, is there a way of preventing the word "#VALUE!" from being displayed when the values for the multiplicand and/or multiplier have been removed?

View 9 Replies View RelatedPrevent Deletion Of A Cell With No Cell Protection
Oct 29, 2008I 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.

View 14 Replies View RelatedLooking To Prevent Duplicate Text In Cell
May 7, 2009I have one main tab which I pull data from other various tabs. To match data the data, I create a "common unique ID", in other words I create a column on each tab and connect various cells with the ampersand.
So in each of the various tabs (and the main tab), I'll have a column with something like =A2&B2&C3
If the "unique ID" matches between the tabs it will pull back the desired phrase, or it will be left blank. (Just using an =IF(ISNA) formula)
If you have followed so far, on my main tab, I have a column for each of the various tabs. The information I am trying to match could be on any of the tabs, so I need a column using an =IF(ISNA) formula to attempt to match each tab. So, on the main tab, there are several columns which might have the phrase I am looking for. I use another ampersand function to add those columns. My problem is that occaisionally, what I am looking for is on multiple tabs. So, if I am normally pulling the phrase "Pending Loans Report" when a match is made, if it is on two tabs, the cell will add it twice "Pending Loans ReportPending Loans Report"
I realize this is confusing, so I attached a spreadsheet. The "main" tab I was referring to is sheet1. I really simplified it down to post here, but I think the main idea of my problem is still evident. The problem is line 15. Note how column M has "Pending Loans ReportPending Loans Report" - I'd like it to only say this phrase once. The macro pastes special values at the end, but I've highlighted some cells in red which show the formulas I used for that column. Columns N, O, P, Q, etc. all have virtually the same formula.
Macro To Prevent Changing The Value Within A Cell
Jan 11, 2007I would like to write a macro that performs the following function:
I have a value in cell A1
In cell A2, I have the formula "=A1"
I want to make it so that cell A2 can never be directly changed; the only way to change the value in A2 is by changing A1. A2 should always equal A1.
I want a message box to pop up and alert the user whenever they attempt to modify A2, instructing them that if they wish to change A2, they have to change A1.
I had written this macro, and it kinda does the trick:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Range("a2") Range("a1") Then
MsgBox "text goes here"
Range("a2").Value = Range("a1")
End If
End Sub
When I attempt to change cell A2, I get the MsgBox popup and it works how I want it to. However, when I alter cell A1, I get the same popup before cell A2 updates (to be precise, the popup occurs after I click another cell). I would like this to be immediate and without a MsgBox.
Prevent Macro From Running If Cell Is Red
Apr 29, 2008I have a macro that is run by clicking on a macro button. The macro copies the data from Sheet1 and pastes it in another sheet, Sheet2. I added some conditional formatting that colors certain cells red if others are blank on Sheet1. I would like to add some code to my macro that will not allow it to copy and paste from sheet1 to sheet2 if there are any red cells in the range.

Prevent Someone From Entering A Formula In A Cell
May 18, 2007I'm creating a maths workbook in Excel. I want the user to workout the answer in his/her head and enter the answer into Excel. The only problem is, of course, that there is nothing stopping a user from simply typing a formula to obtain the answer! I have tried all data validation, apart from Custom which I can't figure out. Is there a way to prevent a user entering a formula on a worksheet?

Prevent Empty Cell With Data Validation
Nov 17, 2007I'm looking for a formula which will enable typing (in cell A1) positive numbers between 0-1000000 but will prevent the user from leaving that cell in an empty state. Empty cell means: cell with space(s) or deleting the legitimate value that is, already, in it).
I must emphasize that I know how to handle this by VBA code and/or by using a "named" pre-defined list of values + un-checking the "ignore empty cell" option - but I would like to know, once and for all, the solution WITHOUT using Macro and/or 'List' (if any..)
I tried that, without success:

View 4 Replies View RelatedPrevent Copy Paste Over Data Validation Cell?
Mar 27, 2009I set up a spread*** with drop-down menus for some of the cells. The user can only select values from that list and an error message pops up when something is typed it that is not in the list (via Data Validation
Error Alert).
So this works all fine ... except if the user copies and pastes a cell with a different drop-down menu into a cell overwriting the existing validation.
I cannot totally lock the work*** and if I lock the cells with the drop-down menus nothing can be changed. So how can I prevent this from happening? Is there a way to block all copy/paste operations that are copying the validation? I know that with the Paste Special I can have cells copied without the validation.

Prevent/Allow Workbook Closing Based On Cell Values
Feb 15, 2010I have a small macro that before closing the workbook will check a range ("C4:G24") on Sheet ("Data Checks"). It will then show a msgbox displaying each non "OK" result in the range. I want this to close the workbook if all cells in the range have the value "OK" and cancel the close if the msgbox appears. This is what I have so far...
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Dim r As Range, txt As String
With Sheets("Data Checks")
'for each non "OK" result in range
For Each r In .Range("C4:G24")
If r.Text <> "OK" Then
txt = txt & r.Text & vbLf
End If
Next
End With
If txt <> "OK" Then
MsgBox "Please check:" & vbLf & vbLf & txt, vbExclamation
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
The problem I have is that although the msgbox displays the correct cell values if they are not "OK", it also appears and cancels the close if all cells in range DO have value "OK"???
