I work in a correctional centre. Some of the correctional officers have
little training to use Excel or other programs, but are required to complete
spreadsheets on line. Although we have heavily protected the worksheets and
locked cells, we find that in some cases the staff can still mess up the
worksheets by copying and pasting data inappropriately.
Is there a way to turn off the ability to paste data into the worksheet, and
to force each field to be completed manually? This would eliminate the
problem.
I am trying to secure a worksheet using data validation. I want to prevent users pasting over data validation fields, however I want to allow users to be able to still use the copy/paste feature as long as the data is valid.
Attached is a sample that I found on the forums. The current code does not allow any paste functionality.
In column A I have the age of a sale i have completed (compared against todays date) and from B - N of the same row i have the data that coresponds to the sale. As Column A changes daily by 1 i would like to only keep the rows whereby column A is between 1 - 10. For any that are above 10 I would like to cut and paste to a second sheet, strangely entitled "older than 10 days" !
as there are formulas after column N which calculates the data i would only like to cut columns B - N of the specific row.
I think I need to create a macro that first sorts column A so I have the oldest data at the top and then a loop to check if these are above 10, i then want to cut from B - N and paste into another sheet.
I need help with a macro for copying and pasting of cells. I believe this should not be a problem for the Excel VBA experts, but for someone who can only record macro, I'm really at a loss.
Attached is a sample file, where sheet 'Source' is an example of the sheet from which data are to be copied. The other sheet, sheet 'Final' is an example of the final format that I need. The reason I'm doing this is I'm planning to upload my data into Access and so I need to convert them into a list format.
List of target columns in sheet 'Final' and source cells in sheet 'Source':
Column A: Biz ID - not sure if I really need this, by right it should be listed automatically once I paste the data Column B: B2 of 'Source' Column C: B2 of 'Source' Column D: B1 of 'Source' Column E: row 6, relevant column column F: column K column G: row 5, relevant column column H: the specific amount
So basically I'm creating an entry for every amount in the table.
I use a few Functions in my VBA code. All these functions, are declared as "Public", and reside in a single module. However, they are called from many different modules during code execution. (i.e. many functions called from many modules - hence the "Public" declaration).
My issue is that in addition to being available to different VBA Modules, these Functions are also available on the worksheet as a UDF (so if a user presses "=" in the formula bar, the auto-complete shows these functions when the first characters match). Is there a way to remove the availability of the function on user worksheet? i.e. to allow a Function to be called from different modules in VBA, but prevent it from being available on the worksheet.
My current work-around is to prefix all Public Function names with letter "j" - as no excel formula seems to begin with it - none of them show up as auto-complete options. Nevertheless, the Functions are still available to the user - which is what I would like to prevent.
An old post provided the following macros that purportedly prevent users from deleting a worksheet. Unfortunately, it also makes it so you can't delete ANY worksheet in ANY file, which is of course not what was intended. Need figure a way to remove this nuisance? All attempts to delete a sheet keep looking back to the offending workbook, even though the macro has since been deleted from it.
Try pasting the following two event procedures into the Help sheet module:
'==========================>> Private Sub Worksheet_Activate() Dim CB As CommandBar Dim Ctrl As CommandBarControl For Each CB In Application.CommandBars Set Ctrl = CB.FindControl(ID:=847, recursive:=True) If Not Ctrl Is Nothing Then Ctrl.OnAction = "RefuseToDelete" Ctrl.State = msoButtonUp End If Next End Sub................
How do I write a sub to prevent all changes to a worksheet?
This is part of my thinking in covering all possible mishaps that could occur when working with sheet movement. If I could somehow introduce an active protection on either my Sheets(1) or Sheets("Main"), then I could prevent accidental writing to or removal of said sheet.
I have a workbook for which I would like to protect the worksheets, while still allowing my code to alter the worksheets, which can be done with the line:
However, I want allow some users (who know the password) to be able to unprotect the sheet if they need to edit it, then turn the protection back on after they are done. How can I make sure that they use my macro to protect the sheet with UserInterfaceOnly set to true, rather than the standard way to turn on protection? That is, is there a way I can prevent the user from being able to protect the sheet with the Tools->Protection->Protect Sheet menu item?
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.
I have a protected worksheet that from time to time I need to insert a new row and copy a specific range of cells that are with formulae (protected) to the newly inserted row. For a better idea of what I want to achieve, a snapshot of the worksheet is attached.

I would like to insert the new row at row27 downwards each time the macro runs.
I am trying to develop a macro in excel that CUTS AND PASTES rows of data from one worksheet in to the next available row in a new worksheet if there is a date in a particular cell. If the cells that are being checked for a date are empty, then the routine would skip these rows of data.
Here is an example of the worksheet. All rows containing a date in the Scanned column, would be cut and pasted in to a new worksheet. And any rows that have an empty cell in the Scanned column are ignored. If the Scanned column is filled at a later date, then when the macro is run, the data in that row would be cut and pasted in to the next available row in the new worksheet.
I have tables on a spreadsheet and userforms created. Is there anyway to prevent users from just typing on the worksheet so they will have to use the userform?
I have a worksheet thats makes things easier by sorting to users needs. heproblem I have is I have totals in columns p:AJ rows 1:3. How can I prevent the user of sorting the whole worksheet. Most of my users have basic Excell understanding so sorting is usually the whole page. I've tried hiding and protecting the columns but must be doing some thing wrong. I just need them to only be able to sort column A:N. I'm already working on moving totals to a separate sheet to I know this will work but curious for future worksheets.
I have a spreadsheet which I'm using as a log-in front for a series of other workbooks. The usernames and passwords are stored hidden cells within a "very hidden" worksheet. The workbook is protected and VBA code itself is password protected.
In short no-one can directly view the passwords (unless the password to unprotect it all is known.
What I have found is that someone can use a formula to reference the cells containing the user details. "=a1" for example.
Is the a method hiding the contents of a cell from excel itself? I want the vba script to be able to see the value, but any "=a1" formulas to return a blank.
I purchased the book VBA and Macros for excel and it has gotten me pretty far in this code, but I am having difficulty with one code though. I want the Macro to run through a specified directory, and copy the contents of the specified cells (9th row to last row) from each file and paste them in the next available space on my master. Then repeat this process for each file in the file directory. So far, it is successfully going through each file, but it isn't pasting it to my master sheet.

I'm having some trouble with copying dates from certain worksheets into new worksheets. When the data is pasted into the new worksheet, the date changes by four years. Somehow, the process of copying and pasting is reducing the serial number by 1462 units (days).
I'm not sure whether this is a bug or a security restriction to prevent copyright breaches. There's a way of getting around it, but I'm curious as to why this is happening. The dates copy and paste correctly into the existing worksheet, but not a new one. An example is attached and the dates are in columns C & D.
I am looking to loop through a folder and open every workbook in the folder. For every workbook I would like to copy a range in a worksheet named "explain" and paste values into a separate file. All in all this separate file would be a consolidation of the information from the individual workbooks.
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.
The code below will put "Some text" into column B when data is pasted into column D. This only works when copying data into one cell. If I copy into multiple cells of column D then the code does not run at all.
I 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'. Loop Through Rows & Copy Each Row To New Workbook
For lLoop = 2 To 251 'first row of data to last row. If ws1.Cells(lLoop, 4).Value = "x" Then '4 = Column D ws1.Activate ws1.Range("e" & lLoop & ":g" & lLoop).Copy ws1.Range("B1").Select Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=True Rng1.Copy Workbooks.Add ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Select Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteColumnWidths, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Select ActiveSheet.SaveAs varPath & "Student Data Files" & ActiveSheet.Range("B1") & ".xls" ActiveWorkbook.Close

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 been searching the boards long and hard for this solution and have yet to find that applies fully. Every day I need to search through 20 worksheets for transactions occurring on a specific date and copy the row onto a new worksheet. I would like to run a macro that would allow me to search for a specific transaction date in column C of each worksheet and if the date matches it will copy the entire row to a new worksheet.
The issue I am having is that the transaction lists are a running sum of all the transactions for each account. Therefore, the range that the macro needs to search will change daily as well. Furthermore, the date that I would be searching for could potentially appear in column A or B but I only want the row if the date matches that of column C. Also, on some sheets there may not be a transaction at all.
I'd like the users to be able to change some detail in a couple of places and have it updated throughout the spreadsheet. Basically, the user can change the line name in any of the input sheets and the code changes the sheet name, and searches for the reference to the old name in the overview sheet and changes it accordingly.
The problem I have at the moment is that I would also like the user to be able to change the line name from the overview sheet too... I am having trouble thinking how to have similar code in the "Overview" sheets Worksheet_Change event without getting into a big constant loop... e.g. if the line name is changed via code on the individual input sheets won't that then trigger the first code, which will trigger the second etc. etc. I have the following code in the ThisWorkbook section:
Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range) Dim sName As String Dim sOldName As String Application. ScreenUpdating = False sOldName = ActiveSheet.Name If Target.Address <> "$B$1" Then Exit Sub sName = ActiveSheet.Range("B1") On Error Goto ErrorHandler ActiveSheet.Name = sName On Error Goto 0 Sheet8.Select 'this is the overview sheet Cells. Find(What:=sOldName, LookIn:=xlValues, _ LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _ MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate........................

The above format is how I want my spreadsheet to look like. On another sheet within the workbook, I have a chart with some control options that allow me to vary X, Y, Z (I can vary either of these individually). Anytime I vary any one of X,Y,or Z, then the values in A,B,and C all change. This is what I am looking for, a Macro that will allow me the opportunity to everytime I change or vary an option (X,Y,Z), I can hit "Save Scenario" and the new values will be appended to my "Report" sheet. The values of A-C and X and Y are kept on a sheet entitled "FY 07". X is maintained on a sheet called "Inputs". So in all, X,Y, Z and A,B,C are all copied for each scenario.
I have a workbook with a database of 15 different products. We receive information with current prices for each of the 15 products on a weekly basis. This info comes in one single worksheet. I have created a different file with one worksheet for each product to track price behavior over time. I need to update these database everytime I get a new report. What I was trying to do is to develop a Macro to copy the data from a "Master" worksheet that includes all 15 products info to the respective worksheet for each product. Information is sorted in columns having the most recent date in the lowest column. I would need the Macro to copy the new data below the last price for each product. I would copy the data into the "MAster" worksheet, then run the Macro who would copy each row and paste it in its respective worksheet in the row rightafter the previous one.
I am copying some data from one workbook and pasting the data into another workbook depending on certain criteria (using autofilter) using excel VBA. For only One column i need to multiply data by 100 (i.e. convert it into percentage) For example column A in source worksheet has all values and i will paste it in column D of target worksheet. But before pasting i need to multiply the data by 100 so column D in target worksheet has values in %.
I am using 'Dim' to define a string for SheetName, a variable.
I have tried with no success various ways to try and paste data to a sheet with this variable. I know the variable is correct as I am using it to make a new sheet then rename it and also move it.
I have a range that changes the data constantly, I have to watch that data changing. I am trying to work on a macro that copy that data and paste to another sheet. What would be the code to find the next empty row and paste my data there. Data is in Sheet1, range A17:E32... and it needs to be pasted in sheet2 starting in F2.
code to take jobs that are done on one spreadsheet and send them to the next available row of a specified range on another worksheet. I am also looking to incorporate a way to delete the empty rows that are left behind.
I have already made code to select the completed jobs, but am still unsure how to approach the next part. I can't even paste the selected range to another sheet without errors from range sizes.
The following code is done up to the point where I cut my selection.
Sub Update() Worksheets("OpenGen").Activate Dim c As Object Dim rngA As Range
I'm trying to implement a very simple macro to paste a set of cells - already copied to the clipboard from a CSV file - into a worksheet.
Basically, all I need it to do is to allow the user to open that other CSV file, hit CTRL+A and CTRL+C, then go to the relevant sheet in my workbook and run the macro, which should simply paste the copied data into that sheet (starting at cell A30).
Here's what I have so far - I keep getting an error when the macro reaches the ActiveSheet.Paste command.
VB: Sub UpdateData() ' ' UpdateData Macro ' Dim strSheetName As String
