PREVENT USER SCROLLING: Some VBA code for the workbook that for all
worksheets stops users from scolling outside of the set print area
once it is set on.
I have an excel sheet embedded in a Powerpoint presentation, but I have the problem that users are editing the sheet and accidently or unknowingly scrolling around. This results in the window resizing itself when the exit the object and messing up the appearance of the presentation. Is there a way of easily preventing scrolling (either via VBA or other)? I can obviously hide the scroll bars but that does not prevent the use of the mouse's scroll-wheel. I have also already hidden all unused columns and rows so that they cannot oversize the window.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have an Excel sheet that displays 50 rows and 20 columns when it is opened the first time. These rows and columns are the only ones that I want the user to be able to see. The user shouldn't be able to navigate the sheet by using the scroll bars or the wheel on the mouse. I have of course already removed the scroll bars but I don't know how to handle the scroll wheel problem.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm currently creating a workbook whereby I have (regrettably) highlighted entire columns and formatted these columns to show borders. The reason I did this was because drawing them in manually (I thought) would take much longer with the way the worksheet is laid out.
Obviously highlighting the entire column has meant that borders were drawn all the way down to the bottom row of the workbook, and so the vertical scroll bar cannot effectively be 'dragged' up and down as even a tiny movement will cause it to scroll right past the worksheet.
I have tried running a macro to clear contents and formatting for all the unused rows, but the scroll bar remains to be a pain.
I want the scroll bar to only scroll down to a few cells below the available work space like it should do.
Is it possible to use a macro that do the following:
scrolling, only the used range + 1
So if the used range is B2:D12 then the scrolling is possible to row 13 and column E
Option Explicit
Dim myCount As Byte
Dim myColumn As String
Dim myRow As Long
Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
myCount = 0
If Range("B" & myRow).Value <> "" Then myCount = myCount + 1
If Range("C" & myRow).Value <> "" Then myCount = myCount + 1
If Range("D" & myRow).Value <> "" Then myCount = myCount + 1
If Range("E" & myRow).Value <> "" Then myCount = myCount + 1
If myCount > 1 Then....................
The above code pops up the message box when a second entry is made within the specified range, but OK button does not function, contents are not cleared, and Excel locks up.
I have put a 3d shape on the excel sheet, and would like it unclickable. Is there way to accomplish that with the sheet still clickable. I know that you can use protection from Tools manual to protect the sheet. Is there way to protect just specific object or range of cell unclickable?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am instantiating Excel 2003 from vb.net and populating the spreadsheet from SQL. The workbook itself will be maintained even when the .Net program is inactive (so that the column headers are established and saved.) Is it possible to prevent the users from inserting columns within a certain range?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have the following code that Ger Plante very kindly helped me with which, depending on whether there is an 'x' by someone's name in a list, creates a new workbook, copies some information to it and saves it before moving on to the next 'x'.

For lLoop = 2 To 251 'first row of data to last row.

how I can modify the code such that any cells in the range "b1:b504" in Sheet1 of the the new workbook can't be selected or edited without a password....I have tried unsuccessfully using Protect but am not sure how to get vba to set it to specific cells and determine exactly what is allowed in those cells.
I have a spreadsheet that allows users to paste set data from a PDF Image (using OCR) straight into Excel and then use the MID function to split the data accordingly.
Unfortunately, the OCR isn’t too intuitive and gets it wrong sometimes.
So to counter this, in another sheet (in the same workbook) I have a manual input section, and a simple macro button that pastes this data into the same fields where the OCR text would be, so that the main sheet works exactly the same way as before.
The problem is, and most likely due to the simplicity of the sheet, if a combination of OCR pasting and manual inputting is used, when I hit the paste button, it over rides the OCR data with blank cells
In the link below I have shown what is currently happening (1, 2, 3), and an example of what I would actually like it to do (4, 5, 6).
Example - Online Spreadsheets - EditGrid
So, in the 2nd scenario, I would like “5” to recognise that the respective cells in “4” already contain data and fill them ‘Grey’. This I have already achieved with basic conditional formatting.
However, I need to take it 1 step further and say that if the parent sheets cell (Auto OCR) contains data, as well as filling cells (in sheet Manual) lock these cells off and prevent the end user from adding data and/ or being copied over to the parent sheet.
Is this possible?
The result then being the parent sheet with both OCR text and copied text from the manual input sheet.
Both sheets are protected anyway and only allow for user input in certain areas, so is it even possible to apply further protection once the sheet is locked already?
I've created a worksheet with split panes. I'm able to scroll through my data vertically and horizontally while keeping one area of th screen stationary. Here's my question:
Is there a way to limit the movement of my scroll bars so that it can't move beyond the viewable portion of my worksheet? In other words, I want the scrolling to end when there is nothing else to see but a field of empty cells.
way of getting two sheets to scroll together, so when I scroll one window the other one moves too? Some text editors have that future (IIRC UltraEdit does)
I can't find a scroll event in the windows code to trigger a macro to run itself.
I can get around it by using a selection change event which would restrict me to moving around with the cursor keys/Pageup/down, but I've got 15,000 to review regularly in a short space of time and it would be quicker by mouse
[code/]Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
'This macro scrolls the Report to TopLeft when you click
'anywhere in the Report columns
If Target.Column > 16 And Target.Column < 22 Then
With ActiveWindow
.ScrollRow = 1
.ScrollColumn = 15
End With
End If
If Target.Column >= 1 And Target.Column < 15 Then
With ActiveWindow
.ScrollRow = 1
.ScrollColumn = 1
End With
End If
End Sub[code/]
...but I cant figure out how to scroll it down the list to the NextBlankRow-20 such that the previous 20 lines of data are shown to the top of the screen.
I want to return the value of E2 from sheet, "ALL INFO" and paste it in B2 on my current sheet. When I scroll this formula to right, I want the next to be the value of J2 from sheet, "ALL INFO," etc.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm looking to disable the horizontal and vertical scrolling in 1 worksheet
Am i able to do this?
I'm having a problem working with a protected document made by another user.
The sheet has a vertical split at column F, and when I use the arrow keys to scroll right beyond this line (ie from column G and beyond), when I reach the last column (BB), it just loops straight back to the beginning (column F). This also happens in the same direction.
How I can stop this happening, so that it just stops when it reaches the end of the document?
There doesn't appear to be any coding on the sheet.
I have a spreadsheet where I want to put notes in, but I don't want to re-size the cell as it will ruin the format. The amount of information will vary from entry to entry, each entry into the sheet will have its own row and within that entry I want to dedicate one column's cell for that entry's notes. Is there anyway to make a macro for a scroll bar for individual cells so I can scroll though the text entered in that cell. I have tried a text box but the text overflows once the amount of text over fills the text box.
View 4 Replies View Relatedi want to know whether there is any way to make an MouseWheel-Event in VBA (Excel 2003) and send it to the scrollBars of my UserForm?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI want is a form that has three different partsof it. Each part containing checkboxes, a spreadsheet, textboxes and labels. But I only want to display one of these parts at a time, depending on what the user clicks.
I know I could write code to move everything into the visible part of the form but that would be messy. I hoped I could find some way to instead move the visible part. Like if I had scrolled.
An example. Say the visible form is 100 high and 100 wide. When opening you see from the width 0-100 and height 0-100 (pixels or whatever those things sould be called). Upon pressing a button I instead want to see width 101-201 and height 101-201.
I am sure this has been asked -and answered- before.
I need to select a cell, e.g. C1000, and change the view, so that I see C1000 on top of my spreadsheet.
range("C1000").select clearly does not accomplish what I want.
What is the vba code to disable scrolling Up or down?

I know I can lock the cells, however, pre-existing code will not work if cells are locked.
When the user scrolls the worksheet (using a scroll wheel, or the scroll bars) I would like to have a VBA-code triggered, but in Excel 2003 there is no "VBA-event" for scrolling...
Is there any way of trapping that a scroll has happened, even if the selection didn't change?
I have adapted Andy Pope's scrolling chart and have done some searching here on how to adapt this chart to plot at least two lines. For example, have sales data for the months of 2005 on one line and sales data for the months of 2006 on the other line so that corresponding months move together. I read a previous thread suggesting to change the source data to include the new data however I get a reference error message. I have attached the example that I am currently working on
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have graphed a range of data that was generated using VB, but the data is a series of 6 models plotted against each other over a period of 6 years and the data is daily and as such would be useful to reduce the range to look at certain periods , is it possible to do this using the mouse to select a region or would something like embeded text boxes for the ranges of dates the user could enter be better, or would it be better to move away from excel for this part of it be better. Also is it possible to plot say range A1:A5 and A20:A25 against the the relevent dates to examine two separate periods side on side.

2. Is there a setting so that whoever opens the workbook will see the same view (instead of whatever view the last person saved the file in)?
