I am going to use Excel sheets as computer exam forms. What I need to know is: Is there a way of protecting parts of an excel worksheet from alteration? I want a sheet that will accept answers in specific areas only, and will not accept entries or alterations in other areas.
I have a spreadsheet with 2 worksheets. On the first "active parts" I have a list of active part numbers and on the second "All Parts" I have all of the parts available.
I want to compare every part in the All Parts worksheet to see if the part number exists on the Active Parts sheet - if it's there, I would like it to return the value "Active" in column B in All Parts. I have a formula in column B in All Parts that seems to work for the first few, but as soon as it finds one that is active, the rest of the cells below all return "Active".
I have a document needed to be printed with some pages in the middle in landscape page type, the rest in portrait. If using Word it would be easier, but in Excel I cant find the section break to chage page setup separately. Is there anyway to do it. Currently I'm printing the document separately in portrait and then landscape with some page break added and page number modified. However it's quite troublesome and easy to make mistake.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have many excel sheets with 1000 columns and 100,000 rows. I have to import these sheets into SAS system which wont let me import more than 250 columns per sheet (it misses the remaining columns, though rows it can import all of them). So, one solution is break each such sheets into 4 individual sheets. Ofcourse I can manually take the cursor to 250th column and copy/paste that data into another sheet and so on. But this is cumbersome and also means there is chance of mistake.
Is there a way I can divide the sheets into 4 sheets separately with each sheet having equal number of columns? Another thing I need to do is that on the top row there are company codes -most of them start with a letter which is fine. There are few which start with a number and I have to add a dummy letter x before the number. Now since there are 1000 columns, I have to scan the top row of all 1000 columns to find number codes which are scattered unevenly. So I was wondering if there is a way to tell excel to change all such number codes with extra x behind each number?
way to copy certain cell ranges from a main table into a different sheet (for nicer printing output, as in the main table there are also unused ranges) and in such a way that they would be copied there one after the other with no spaces between them.
( I have say A1:M1 with some cells for labels,
then A2:M4 with a smaller table with some user choices etc. etc.
then again A5:M5 with cells for labels
and A6:M8 with another smaller table with user choices... )
multiply by 2x
Then I want to copy just those ranges that the User has selected something in - e.g. only A1:M4, if he selected something in A2
or A5:M8, if he has selected something in A6
I have a workbook with particular worksheets that should never be deleted. If they are deleted by the user the workbook will become unusable.
The users need the freedom to edit data within the sheets (so protecting them is not an option), however, I need to restrict this freedom so that they cannot under any circumstance delete the sheet. Is there such code that I could use in the worksheet code to stop this?
way of protecting a very hidden sheet, I will still need to open the sheet myself everytime I use the program. The only person to open this very hidden sheet is myself.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI want to run a macro that puts information from one sheet into another. The destination sheet is protected so I want to unprotect the sheet, do the copy and pasting then reprotect the sheet. The sheet has a password and I can't work out how to put that into the macro. It works fine without a password.

I have a sheet that has some cells already protected by a password. I want another person to be able to make changes to the unprotected cells and then be able to push a button (macro) that will then unlock the sheet activesheet.unprotect ("mypassword"), change all the cells to "locked" and then have the protect sheet window pop open so that they can type in their own password and save it. Is that possible?
i have produced a spreedsheet on ms excel.
On sheet 2 is all of the information and tables etc.. for example prices and information for the combo boxes an such...i need to protect this sheet so no one can change anything on it
the problem is when i do so, and go back onto sheet 1 and say tick a checkbox or select something from the combo box is doesnt allow me to, the protection message comes up
i dont want this to come up on sheet 1, only on sheet 2!
i think its because i have links between the pages? like all of the info for the combo box is on sheet 2
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 need to protect a sheet with following access to users.
1. data can be entered in column a only... rest is automatically updated with formulas
2. users can insert/ hide rows. but can not delete any rows and can not hide/ insert/ delete columns

View 9 Replies View RelatedA1 is number of days available
this sheet goes to a routing recepient from me who fills A2 and B2. C2 and D2 are calculated.
A2 has starting date
B2 has ending date
C2 is days between these two dates
D2 is number of days left i.e. A1-C2
I want to lock and protect cells A2,B2,C2 and D2 so that these cannot be changed when I route it back to get next set of dates to be filled by the same person.
I have a macro that duplicates a excel file into how ever many files I need... so If I need 150 copies of the the file, it will make it 150 times.
However, each file the first tab called "Clients" has information that I want protected so users can't alter it. I can't protect it before I run the duplication because the data is added by a group of people and I need it unprotected until they add the information.
What I am looking for is a macro that I can click and run, allows me to select multiple files, then it will automatically Protect Sheet 1 "Clients" on all the files I select so I don't have to open all 150 files after data is entered and Protect sheet 1 manually.
What is the best way to protect a Data sheet, but still be able to use a FrontEnd Userform.

I have sheets with names of people in columns....some married...some not. When they are married, here's a sample format...
Jones, Donald T | Baker, Sarah Jane | Jones, Sarah Jane | Smith, Sarah J | Jones, Sarah Jane Smith
In this example, I would like to be able to determine which of the Sarah's belongs to Donald w/o having to visually look at each record ( 100,000's of records). (FYI: the names for Sarah would/could be her Maiden Name and possibly a name or two from a former marriage). What I need to be able to do is match and extract the names of Jones, Donald T and Jones, Sarah Jane and Jones, Sarah Jane Smith and eliminate Smith, Sarah J and Baker, Sarah Jane.
In my example, Donald is in the first column, but can be in any column on a row so the name positions are random across the columns. However, the format for each column is then same...Last Name, First Name Middle Name(or Initial) with a comma always after the last name in each column. The length of the last name also varies.
VBA or Formula that will search the cells in the columns of each row and return the names (complete contents of the cells with matching last names) that have a matching last name for that row.

I'm making a project where there's a list of skills and next to each skill is a cell where the user can put how many skill points are in that particular skill. Now, on a separate worksheet is the place where it shows the consolidation of what skills they know, and how many points are in each. My question is, how can I copy over these skills and how many ranks are in each, without copying over the skills in which they put no points.

Does anyone know of a way to select fragments of the following text?
The string is "toby.cameron1".
I need to be able to select just the "toby" and "cameron" parts.
Also this string is variable in that it might be "james.brown" or similar without the number at the end.
I can't use a Left or Right statement because of the varying length of names and the uncertainty of having a number at the end.
Is there a way I can copy the start of the string until the period. And do the same from the end but ignore the number whether it's present or not.
From that, is there anyway to copy the numbers off the end of a string?
i.e. my string is ASY-623 or DRGN-12 or WDSR-7
The string will always be letters a dash and then numbers.
How do I copy only the numbers?
