How would I go about lock a cell after there is an entry. Once the entry has been made the user could not change the entry. For example if a user enter in cell b2 he could not change the entry, he could change a2, c2, d2. He would also be able to put an other entry in b3, once enter the cell is lock.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a cell that I do no want anyone to enter any information into unless a previous cell has "U" inside of it.
Okay so so I have a column of cells named "Fringe Benefit Type" you can choose different letters to corropand to different types. Now I have set the letter "U" to be the one I want and that works. Now the next cell is called "Hire Season". Now (stay with me here) IF "Fringe Benefit Type" is equal to "U", I don't want the user to be able to enter anything into "Hire Season".
I am using the visual basic thing, which already has some code, but I am not understanding it too well.
I want to lock column as and when your fill his report
E.g. in column C user filled report on 1st of this month
On second day column C must be locked or protected
User must enter in D column only
I made a sheet to control some reports, and it works like this: you click a button ("Insert"), it opens a userform, you type everything there (date, serial number, client, city) and it place that info on the first row available. Then there's a "Clear Last Entry" button, and that's it.
I would like to protect the whole sheet and only allow users to insert new entries via the "Insert" button. How can I do this? If I protect normally Excel won't allow the VBA code to write on cells.
Is there a way to set 2 cells equal, while allowing either one to be manually changed? So if I put in value of 10 for Cell1, Cell1 and and Cell2 will both be equal to 10. Then if I change Cell2 to a value of 20, both cells will be equal to 20.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to setup a number of cells with a validation list allowing "Yes" or "". I would like the cell value to equal 1 when "Yes" is selected. Is this possible without VBA?
The reason for this is because I want to set up conditional formatting with the tick, cross, exclamation mark icon set (With a tick appearing for "Yes"), but this conditional formatting only works with numerical values.
I am looking to create a macro that will create a new sheet when data is added on a summary sheet. Example.
1. Summary sheet called "Variations" contains columns that will contain the information needed for new sheet (Columns A to D)
2. When data is entered on "Variations" sheet: Column B, then macro automatically creates new sheet renamed to e.g. VO1 (Number used on "Variations" tab) and is a copy of "Master" tab.
3. Data entered in Column A to D on "Variations" tab is automatically entered onto new sheet created (e.g VO1). Shown is blue on attached file. Additional data is updated on "VO1" sheet and this then links back to "Variations" tab
1.I need to protect certain locked cells from editing and allow certain unlocked cells to be changed on multiple worksheets.
2.When all of the changes are made to the unlocked cells, I need to password protect the entire workbook (except one worksheet) from any changes. (i.e. Prevent even the unlocked cells from being edited)
3.I also need a password to un-protect the workbook and return it to the state described in # 1. above .
way of protecting an array of cells on the condition that information is entered in another array of cells or vice versa. So, put simply, if data goes into a1 then a2 becomes protected (or vice versa).

Here is a scenario to protect
formula cells but allow access to data cells:
. Select all cells in the worksheet by clicking on the top left corner of the sheet.
. On the Format menu Click Cells.
. Click on the Protection tab.
. Uncheck the Locked and
Hidden check boxes, then click OK.
These four steps will make all cells in the worksheet unprotected and can therefor be modified. Next step is to
protect the formula cells, and here is how we do it:
. Select all cells that have formulas.
. On the Format menu Click Cells.
. Click on the Protection tab.
. Check the Locked and Hidden check boxes, then click OK.
. On the Tools menu click
Protection and select Protect sheet
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.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI know how to protect a sheet and unlock some cells, but how can I lock the format of ALL cells while still allowing users to enter information? Ifve been instructing people to Paste Special  Values, but of course itfs more difficult. For example, Ifd like to protect a sheet but allow cells B2:C2 to be editable in value only – NOT in format. I tried searching the forum for a solution but was unable to find anything.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI am running a loop that changes the value in one cell at a time. Since this is for our entire company, I am trying to make it "idiot-proof" like most of you have done.
While in the loop, I want to unprotect a cell, change the value, then reprotect the cell. But the rest of the worksheet is going to be unprotected for now. is that possible? Or do I have to protect the whole sheet, and then .Unprotect the whole sheet first and then. Protect it at the end of the macro.
I would like to protect some cells of a spreadsheet, without using Excel's protection, because I only want to prevent the deletion of those cells - the cells must remain editable.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have compiled a spreadsheet for my co-workers with basic formulas. I would like to know how to protect the formula from being accidently deleted. My spreadsheet now will calculate what is needed but if someone accidently clicks on the cell containing the formula and clears or backspaces it erases this formula. I'm sure there is a way to prevent this.

View 9 Replies View RelatedIn the attached example, I have two fields. In the first (top), I have fields I want the user to be able to enter data (revenue/weight/skids). The information at the bottom is generated by formulas that act on the user-provided data and display the results at the bottom. The key, though, is keeping Excel-ignorant users from inadvertantly destroying the formulas and data in the middle section. I still need to display the results at each step, though, so hiding those middle fields is not an option. How can I lock only some cells within a single spreadsheet like this?
