Searching For Results In Database With Certain Restrictions

May 28, 2014

I've got an question about using excel macros to search for information in a database with certain restriction. In my attachment you can see an example of the database I use.

Example.xls

I've got a database with certain packages, the length and the width of these packages is known.
I've also got a database with certain products, the length and the width of these products is also known.

I want to use a macro which allows me to see which packages are useable for a certain product. A package is useable if the length/width is less then 10 bigger then the product. So in the example if the width is between 10~20 and the length between 40~50.

Originally I thought I could use a macro with advanced filter and having restrictions width >10 <20 and length >40 <50. But I can't fit this in as macro because I already get the width and length from the product from another database and macro so it can't say >40 only 40.

Consolidate Multiple Tabs Into One Summary Tab With Some Restrictions?

Jan 9, 2013

I have multiple tabs and each tab has an invoice. In the summary tab, I want to grab certain cells ie. Invoice #, Number of items, and total invoice amount.

The tricky part is, although the format for each invoice is the same, the product list for some invoices may be longer in some invoices (which will affect the total amount - aka total amount may be in cell F40 instead of F10).

Since I get these invoices on a regular basis, I would really like to create a macro where it will just find the items I need and paste it in the summary. I have no problems making this file work if the items are all in the same cell and format for each tab.

Input Box Instructions/restrictions For Filtering Data

Nov 12, 2007

Is there a way that I add instructions/restrictions to the push buttons on my form (basically they perform filter functions).
For instance, currently the only way to search the client or employee name is to enter the entire name. Is there a way to allow partial name searches?

Can I have a message appear that says "'Joe Shmo' can not be found".

Also I would like the input box not allow blank searches. If the input box is selected but then closed with no data entered, it filters for blanks which removes all data.

I have attached a sample of my form for you to look at.

How To Protect Formula Cells But Allow Access To Data Cells

Dec 22, 2011

I try this method but data entry not allowed

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

Protect Cells From Format Changes Only

Sep 14, 2006

I 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 &#61664; 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 &#8211; NOT in format. I tried searching the forum for a solution but was unable to find anything.

Protect Individual Cells?

Mar 17, 2007

I 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.

Lock/Protect Select Cells Only

Apr 17, 2008

In 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?
