Copy & paste (ctrl c & ctrl v) is very useful, but it will change the format of the cell. To avoid that it is possible use paste special (value). Is possible to protect the spreadsheet so only paste special (value) is permitted?
I am looking for a macro that can do one of two things. I am not sure which way I want to go with this yet and how automated it should be. Either scenario will result in a significant time save.
Scenario One
1. Copy & Paste Special Values on the selected/active worksheet
2. Protect Selected Worksheet with password "1234"
3. Delete ALL worksheets except the selected/active worksheet from the file. Names of other sheets can be various and are not static
For example:
A workbook has the following: sheets1, sheet2, sheet3, sheet_unknown_name
If you are working in sheet1 the macro would copy paste special values the entire sheet, protect sheet1 with the password "1234" and delete any and all other sheets.
Scenario Two
1. Copy & Paste Special Values on the selected/active worksheet into a new workbook
2. Protect the new workbook with password "1234"
3. Rename the new workbook with the original workbook name adding either "em_" to the front or "_em" to the end of the filename
4. File, Send To, Mail Recipient as attachment.
I would like to implement specific cell ranges from two specific worksheets each within 33 workbooks (which all have several tabs) into a summary page in a separate workbook.
The cell ranges are going across my spreadsheet in rows and I would like for them to transpose into a columns depending on the data which I have separated by catergory on the summary page. They are all on the same location in each workbook which is separated by country. The cell ranges are E26:P37 and I would like to transpose them and have them put below eachother without overwriting for my format on the summary page, how I can put this together in a macro?
Paste can this be set to default to Paste Special Values only ?
I have a sheet with a number of lists validated drop down boxes. The sheet is networked and works fine.
Problem other users as they are entering information into the required cells they are copying and pasting. Then the inevitable occurs they paste data into the wrong cells the validation from the original cell is pasted as well. Is there a way I can set paste special values only to be the default for the full sheet.
Unfortunately we use excel 97 in the office.
I've tried to change the line highlighted in red to 'Sheets("Financial Accounts").Pastespecial After:=Sheets("changes")' but the macro crashes.
Sub ConsolidatedTotals()
Dim BeforeSheetName, NextPageName As String
BeforeSheetName = "changes"
NextPageName = "Financial Accounts - " & Worksheets("assumptions").Range("c3")
Worksheets(ActiveSheet.Name).Select
Sheets("Financial Accounts").Copy After:=Sheets("changes")
ActiveSheet.Name = NextPageName
End Sub
I got this code the other day
Private Sub CommandButton11_Click()
Sheets("Invoice Page").Select
Rm = 3
For c = 1 To 5
Rm = Application.WorksheetFunction.Max( Cells(1000, c).End(xlUp).Row, Rm)
Next c
Range(Cells(3, 1), Cells(Rm, 5)).Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets(" Records Page").Select
c = Cells(3, 256).End(xlToLeft).Column + 2
Cells(3, c).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub
And instead of pasting the cells i want it to paste speical so it just pastes values rather than formulas.
I need to make my spreadsheet require a password to open. How do I do this?

That is, if I select C3:Q3, Copy, then select C10:C15 and try to do a Paste Special that is when it gives me an error 13: Type mismatch.
If I just select C10 and do the Paste Special, it's just fine.
I am trying to write a VBA code which will add any figure (say X) to the visible cells in the selected range. I am mentioning the visible part becuase my data might be filtered and thus. So far I have been able to figure out the following code(by recording a macro and then going behind the scenses to see the code):
Sub Add_X()
Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll, Operation:=xlAdd, SkipBlanks:= _
False, Transpose:=False[/color]
End Sub
The problem is that how can (if possible) I can pass a parameter to the above code (which will be X; as explained above). There might be many possible solutions??? However one that comes to mind is that when I selected a range of cells and then run my code, a dialog box should pop-up and ask for a # and then then take that # to add it to the visible cells of the selected range.
Is there a way to only allow paste special values or formulas within a cell? People are coping and pasting and screwing up the formating
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am making a database system that tracks student activity in my schools lab for people taking foreign language courses. I'm trying to make it so students must use the userform to manage they're checking in and out, and not be able to have any direct access to the Spreadsheet itself.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a little bit of problem with lookup function. When i paste values from another worksheet (paste special, values) in a cell which is lookup value i get #N/A. These values are numbers. When i put '7 for example i get the values i want from lookup table. I have a lot of these cells and its tedious job to put ' in front of every value. Is there a quicker solution?

View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a macro that copies the main report sheet in my workbook. The point of the macro is to get a copy of the report data without allowing anyone to see the formulas/data behind it - when it pastes, it pastes only the values in the tables and then copies the charts, deletes the live ones, and pastes only the images back on the sheet. The macro works on my computer and my partner's computer, but not on anyone else's. It stops at this point:
View 5 Replies View RelatedDuring the execution of some code I come to a point where the properties of a range of cells needs to be converted to numeric (is at that point text).
Normally I do that by adding a 1 in an cell nearby and use the copy/paste special method.
I was wondering if I can do that in a different way.
Is it possible to define a MultiplyFactor as 1, and use this in paste special part.

I've got a sheet which has two column headings - Resources and Cost. I have another sheet which has the calculations for both of these. They are in cells H24 and D29 of the second sheet. I want to have a macro on the second sheet that if I click it, it will paste special these two figures (values only so no formulae), into the active cell on the first sheet. This is the code I've got so far but every time I run the macro it just pastes into the same two cells in the first sheet.

In the new 2007 version , can a specific hot key be created to perform Past Special Values? This key assignment was available in 2003, but we can't find it in the new 2007.

I would like to use the code in a Select Case Statement & the above code is too cumbersome.
Paste Special is no longer available in the Edit menu--it's grayed out. (I am using Excel 2003). I can't find any info on what disabled it or how to re-enable. It's probably something moronically obvious, but this moron needs a shove in the right direction.
View 6 Replies View RelatedGot a bit of an issue with using the paste special function. I am trying to record a macro that would copy a group of cells that are verticle, and then paste them onto a new row in a different sheet.
I have done this in the past by enabling the record macro function and inserting a new row going back to the sheet with the data selecting the data copying it, and then selecting pasting area using paste special and enabling the "Transpose" box.
Although today i found this didin't work in fact it (this is the best i can describe it) merged each cell with the cell below givng a type of square function as can be seen below.
After i click ok, this happens
As you can see the cells are now twice the size.
On my spreadsheet I want to move a column at the start of the day (as one column is todays values, the one previous is yesterdays). I have tried the following but it doesnt like it:-

It comes out with a run time error 1004? It needs to be a paste special as I just want the values put in. I have tried recording a macro to see how the vba code works, but it doesnt give me the option to paste special for some reason and I presume this is why the error occurs.
Is there a way to protect some cells of a spreadsheet from user input (by typing only), yet letting button controls and VBA macros modify the values of those cells?
I need to prevent users from accidentally deleting formulas or values generated by VBA macros or controls, although they may delete values in some cells.
I have a question regarding COUNTIFS. I have data arrayed vertically and horizontally on a worksheet. Date - Column 1 Column 2 etc. Criteria data (flight information) is listed under these columns. I'm trying to get the COUNTIFS formula to count the number of times a particular flight occurs within a date column.
My formula is
=COUNTIFS(C27:G24 (this is the field that contains the flight info), C6 (this contains the particular flight I'm looking for), C16:G16 (this contains the date range, C5 (this contains the date I'm looking for)
When I use this formula I get the result #VALUE! back. I also wanted to ask if there is any way to use the paste special function but not lose the original formatting/formulas from the cells one is pasting from.
I have two excel tabs on a spreadsheet, one titled "Reviews" and one titled "Details". On my Reviews tab, I have:
A B C D
1 0 0 1
0 0 0 0
1 1 1 1
. . . .
. . . .
etc.. On my Details tab, I have
A 1 0 1 . . .
B 0 0 1 . . .
C 0 0 1 . . .
D 1 0 1 . . .
(The same information, but presented in different ways). I'm trying to continue to make my Reviews tab as long as possible to match my Details tab but when I drag the cross to continue the pattern, it doesn't follow what I need it to. How can I continue my Review tab down for 600 or so fields to match my Details tab even though they are both in different layouts?
