I am building an Excel workbook for use by many users in a company. The Worksheet that all users will be able to see and access will reference a Data tab that contains sensitive data. I know how to hide and password protect that tab, but just wondering if anyone can tell me how secure that is? In other words, if someone really wanted to get that data, how easy is it for the password to be broken? I will need to prove to management that the data is secure.
Intention is to (automatically) fully protect each completed worksheet/workbook on "save"/"save as" in MS Excel 2007... Is this possible by means of a macro? Which one? Saving in a ".xlsm" format is required?
I have a very large workbook - there are only five sheets of this workbook that should be viewed by anyone. What I would like to do and just can't seem to find a solution is...
I would like to set the workbook so that when opening I use a password which will give me full access to anything in the workbook - upon read only, a user would be able to open the entire workbook without a password - but only view it's contents - not be able to do any adjustments.
I have locked cells which I do not want anyone to adjust the formulas to, then protected the sheet - this works, however, because there are so many sheets, it becomes very tedious to unlock and lock sheets to work in them.
I have a workbook with several worksheets in it. One worksheet for each manager. I only want the individual manager to see their individual worksheet and not those for the others. Is it possible to hide the worksheet and unhide it using an individual password, a seperate one for each manager ?
or alternativly, is it possible to hide say the columns and give each manager their own password that only allows them to unhide the columns for their worksheet. I really dont want to have to send out several seperate versions, just sending one workbook but passwording the individual worksheets within it would be ideal.
i would like the user to be able to unprotect the workbook via clicking a button. this button would first ask the user for a password before unprotecting the workbook.
I'm developing a few workbooks that may at some point be distributed amongst other people. If this happens, I don't want people sharing these workbooks around, and therefore I need a way of enforcing the users to only use a workbook on a single computer.
I have come up with a method that allows a workbook to open on a single machine only, and not others, but I had to devise this method myself. I was wondering if there are other ways of doing it, possibly quicker ways than my own, or if there is something already within Excel that caters for this?
I have a shared workbook is it at all possible to leave the cells unprotected so a user can enter data but prevent cells from being formated
for instance someone on night shift with nothing better to do has decided that black text on a white background is boring and changes it frequently to a rainbow of colors. and text types it is making a well laid out and good sheet look like something a child has done I would pursue this down a discipline line but it has proved impossible to nail down the culprit from the many users
I have a large workbook with 10+ sheets i need to protect all at once. I have created a macro in VBA below. It works, but I would like another user to be able to change formatting on the sheets while they are protected. below is my macro.
Sub ProtectAll() Dim wSheet As Worksheet Dim Pwd As String
I need is for the Roster sheet, which has the exact same column and row headings as the Leave sheet, to read the data from the Leave sheet and change dynamically if the Leave sheet is changed. If there is data in any cell then I need to protect just that cell in the Roster sheet so that the user creating the staff roster is unable to edit it out.
I have created a plain cut and paste macro on open from Leave to Roster but this doesn't give me the dynamic linking, and doesnt help solve the problem of needing to check each and every cell in Roster against a corresponding cell in Leave, but also if its blank in Leave to allow the user to update that cell in the Roster sheet.
I have a cell in my spreadsheet (J3) that I need to never be changed or else other macros in my workbook will not work properly. I decided to try and use data validation since it is easy to change the rule every month and I can stay away from messing with passwords.
My cell value is a date, so I set data validation to have that cell equal only that specific date. If a user tries to overwrite the cell value, the error messages is prompted correctly. The one BIG problem is that I can just press the delete key and delete the contents of the cell. Is there any way of preventing this from happening without having to lock the cell and password protect the sheet?
I would like to import all data from a workbook (only 1 sheet), which the user must select from a file dialog, into a spesific sheet in the active workbook.
I've been investigating how to use a UserForm in Excel. While I've learned some, I can't quite figure out how to export the data from the UserForm. I want the form in one workbook and have it record a new row in a different, but constant workbook each time the action button is clicked. I have been able to create the form and included the action button, but I don't know what code to assign to the button.
I think I know the important pieces to the puzzle, but I don't know the syntax or how to put them together.
Form Details: 2 Text Boxes (TextBox1 & TextBox2) - TextBox1 is the Employee Name. TextBox2 is the Employee Number 10 List Boxes (ListBox1:ListBox10) - All ListBoxes will return a value of either "Yes" or "No". 1 Action Button (RecordCommand)
Export Details: File Path Where the new workbook will be stored: E:HR Team Audit File Name of Workbook where form data will be stored: "HR Audit Record Workbook.xlsx" Column Headers will be in Cells A1:L1 of that workbook
Below is the code for the Text and List Boxes:
Code:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() With TextBox1 End With
With TextBox2 End With
With ListBox1 .AddItem "Yes" .AddItem "No" End With
1. Main (where I have a button and I intent to write code and paste the data)
2. Data (where I have data to be copied)
My code so far
Code: Sub copy() Dim wbData As Workbook Dim wbMain As Workbook Set wbData = Workbooks.Open("path") Set wbMain = Workbooks.Open("path") wbData.Sheets(1).Range("A1:A5").copy wbMain.Sheets(1).Range("A1:A5").PasteSpecial wbData.Close End Sub
In the above code the problem is that the file wbMain is already open and when I try to re-open it gives an error and program crashes and if I do not open the file then it gives me the error and says sub or function not defined as wbMain variable is not set.
Second problem:When an error is thrown or I close my files, I lose all the VBA code and module? strange ! how to save modules permanently? using Excel 2007
I am running a macro-enabled Excel 2010 file, and there is a link to another workbook that pops up every time I open it asking if I want to update. I have searched formulas and pages, and can't find where it's linking from. I searched the VBA module I've been working in, and I can't find the link. When I click Data->Edit Links->Break Links and confirm, nothing happens. It still shows up as linked, and still prompts me to update next time I open it. I'd really like to get this data link severed.
Im using Excel 2010 and have a data connection that I want to use. I added it to a regular workbook and it updates perfectly as-designed. However, I need this feature to work in a shared workbook, but it doesn't.
I am using Excel 2010. I am digging through a workbook with 80-some worksheets. There is one worksheet with 11 data tables. When the workbook refreshes, there is a note at the bottom saying something about 21 data tables. I am not sure where the other 10 are. In an online post, someone said that the Name Manager should show them. But in Name Manager, when I filter on Tables, the list goes blank, and all the icons are the same for the other named ranges. Is there another way to find the data tables?
I have two workbooks I am using. Essentially I am copying values out of one workbook, opening a second workbook, manipulating data and pasting it. Everything is working great but one issue! The first workbook has named ranges in it that I don't want in the second workbook (just values). I don't want them because when I try this operation the second time it asks if I want to use the same name or choose a different name. For some reason it is still copying over all the named ranges (all 343 of them!). Is there a way to not allow it to do that or simply just delete the names before I close the second workbook?
I got a master format in xl2010 to collect data, which is being circulated between my team. members fill in their respective data n mail back the file with their name attached to file name. i want to creat a macro which can copy the data from every members file to master file.
I'm trying to build a workbook (2007) with multiple worksheets where each worksheet corresponds to a different query/dataset pulling data from the one database.
I would have expected that you could define the one data connection object and then specify the SQL that each worksheet table will invoke. The apparent structure of having the query coupled to the connection object is confounding me. I'm therefore trying to set up a separate connection for each of the worksheets and Excel is getting tied up in knots.
I'm trying to create a macro that will look at each worksheet in a workbook and then delete the last line of data on each worksheet. The last row can vary on each worksheet. This is what I have come up with but it is not working. I am on Excel 2010 and Windows 7.
I have 4 workbooks, all of them contain data that is managed by other teams at my company. I need to take all of this data, organize, and concatenate it into one sheet for myself, that I will then reference in other workbooks to various OTHER departments in our company that need the data for certain projects. I have the organization laid out in a lot of very complex formulas so that most of this is automated, and not manual.
I need a solution that can pull data from the 4 workbooks without locking them for use, to allow me to keep my document open all the time, and they can update theirs at their leisure. Everything works fine, until I hit the refresh button. Once this is hit, all of the linked documents are locked and cannot be opened, even in "Read Only" mode. Once I close the master document, the files are free to be opened. I know a workaround for now is that i can not "refresh" the document, but rather close and re open it for changes.
Some steps I have already tried :
1. Create an intermediary file that no one uses, and can be locked all day without a problem. This doesn't work for me since the intermediary file needs to be open to refresh, which locks the original source doc, leaving me in the same place as before.
2.Modify the connection string to display "Mode=Read;" instead of "Mode=Share Deny Read"
3.Create a new connection with "Read" only selected in the Advanced Tab
I have a workbook that has a sheet called CustInvData, this sheet contains 4,421 rows of invoice transaction data for 178 customers starting on row 2 (headers on row 1). I need to split the transaction data for each customer out into a workbook template based on the customer name in column A. I need each workbook named by the customer name along with a month and year (example: Bellsouth-0911.xls), this should create 178 unique workbooks. And since we sometimes have to go back and rerun invoices for previous months, I'll need to control the month and year manually in the code.
The parsed data needs to be copied to a pre-formatted invoice template. This template has 2 sheets, Sheet1 is called 'Product Summary', this is a table that uses VLOOKUP functions to read the data in Sheet2 called 'Product Details', this is the sheet the parsed data needs to be copied to for each customer invoice. The 'Product Details' sheet has formatted rows 1 thru 11, row 11 being the header row for the data from CustInvData to be copied. So the parsed data needs to start at row 12.
Last, once the data has been copied into the 'Product Details' sheet, I need the data to be SubTotaled at each change in column J (Product) and use the 'Sum' function to add a Subtotal in column L (Retail Price) for each unique product category.
Example data below, I've simplified it (the actual data array spans from columns A to Y)
