Protecting/umprotecting Cells Based On Date
May 13, 2008
I have a spreadsheet that i use as a log for recording when certain tasks have been completed.
Each worksheet in the workbook represents one month. Within each month, there are monthly tasks and weekly tasks. Currently i manually unlock the relevant weekly cells at the beginning of each week, and lock them again at the start of the next week. Similarly with the monthly task cells.
Is there a way for Excel to automatically unlock the relevant cells based on date so i don't have to go through this task at the start of every week and every month?

This is a project plan with tasks and dates. Column A is the activity number. (Example 1, 2, 3" etc). Column B is the task (Ex. "Complete Report"). Column C is number of days required to complete the task. Column D is the dependency column. (Ex. Cell D2 =1 in other words Task 2 is dependent on task 1). Column E is the date.
I would like to have a seperate start date cell and a go live date cell.
The objective is to enter a start date, and have each column E date increase based on the number of days entered in Column C. If a task is dependent on another and I change the number of days in Column C I need the dependent task to change the same amount of days.

Is there a way to just protect just a single cell, in order to lock & hide a formula within that cell, without having to password protect the whole worksheet?

I have users filling in data in columns C and D, I need a macro which will select everything entered and lock those cells - well the catch is, if both columns have data. If column C or D are empty I need that row to remain unlocked. No sorting can occur as well.

I am working on both MS Office 2003 and 2007. I am currently working some formulas on the worksheet which I would like to be protected. Therefore I would like some cells in the sheet to be protected and therefore only the person knowing the password (administrator) will be able to change.

I have a spreadsheet with about 2000 lines of vba code. My application needs to be protected so users don't mess themselves up; however, I really only needs the contents of cells to be protected. I have many macros that run, and in order to do this I need to unprotect and re-protect the worksheets. My problem is this: when I re-protect the worksheets, everything is locked up. I would like to allow users to change column widths, hide and un-hide rows, etc. I can't find the parameters needed to do this more controlled type of locking. Is there a list somewhere of all the parameters that can be passed to the Protect method? Here is my current subroutine:
Sub ProtectSheets()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
ws.Protect Password:="password"
Next
End Sub

I would like to lock some collumns and yet change the formating on the unlocked cells mi other columns. Is there another way to protect cells other than locking cells and then protecting the worksheet?

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

A1 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 had a workbook that has 2 sheets.
When I protect the main sheet with a password, the unlocked cells are also locked.
When I move my cursor over any cells, it has the pointed finger as though it has a macro over it, which it doesn't.
When I click on any cell, the screen flashes and a large part of the screen momentarily it looks like a selected area.
I also am using Freeze Panes. Removed the Freeze and still no good.
If I use the horizontal scroll bar and click the right arrow 3 times, they become unlocked.
If I move the screen 3 clicks to the left, it re-locks all of the unlocked cells.

I have a spreadsheet where I need to lock certain cells, only problem is this then takes away the ability to filter the columns which I also still need in that spreadsheet.
Is there a way to lock cells so that they can not be edited but also keep the filtering function?

I have certain cells in my spreadsheet that contain formulas linking them with other sheets within my workbook. I have grouped sets of rows in my first 2 sheets (to show just headings and to expand to subheadings & details). When I try protect the cells with formulas on the sheet then it blocks me from expanding or contracting the row groups.
Is there an easier way to stop someone editing or deleting the data in my cells? There are about 2 dozen cells with formulas in my first sheet that need protecting - unfortunately not in any particular order...

I've found many resources that tell me how to allow for the insertion/editing of comments within a protected worksheet. When I protect the worksheet, I can select "Edit objects" to allow anyone to insert comments.
However, my issue is that I'd like the Insert/Edit comment functionality to require a password, and this happens to be the opposite of what those resources instruct. I also want the content in those same cells to be editable by anyone.

I have a worksheet from which I regularly clear all contents by selecting all the rows and selecting 'Clear Contents' from the right button menu. However, I now have added a formula in Col Y that I want to protect. I know I could select all columns up thru X, but that would clear the R1 headers, so I want to avoid doing that. I can always work around, but I'm curious, is there a way to clear only values and thus protect the formulas when using the Clear Contents command?

I am currently using a piece of code (within a bigger piece) that colours the dates in two columns based on how close it is to the current date. It works fine but sometimes the sheet it is looking in has over 3500 rows so it is taking for ever (well over 6 mins)
The code is
HTML Code:
Sub ColDate() 'date case opened
application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim MyRg As Range
Dim F As Range
Dim DateDiff As Long
Set MyRg = Range("g1:h" & Range("H" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row)
For Each F In MyRg
[code]...

Is there anyway to have columns automatically be hidden based upon a cell value? I have a column for each month, and I would only like to show months that have occured, and keep future months hidden from view. I have the current month end date in cell a1 and the following columns each have a date as the header?

I have a date in a cell that when it is less than today() (so yesterday's date) would turn red and the 5 cells to its immediate right would also turn red, if the date is still current then it would be green and so would the right hand cells.

Attached simplified sheet gives background - but need to update the cells in the aggregate monthly table C44:C55 based on data in single cell above, and according to the correct month. Need do this without the previous months data changing.
Month is determined by cell E8 and data to be updated to the agg month range is to come from cell C15. The month date will change automatically as will the data in C15.

I have one excel sheet. In the first column there are various Project Codes and in the first row there are various date. Cells in the matrix contains 0 or 1 value. If value is equals to 1 that means the project was on hold during this months and if the cell value is null of 0 (Zero) it means the project was active. For a project in a particular row there are several times a project went on hold and now I want a date range showing the project's hold duration. If project went on hold more than one time the result should also give different range for each time when project went on hold.
follow the link to view the excel file.

I have a range (D5:BU5) that I will have various dates in each cell. At the end of the row is a percentage block. It has the formula count=(D5:BU5)/70 which gives me a percentage complete. The fun begins where some dates are based off annual, semi-annual, and quarterly. What I want to do is be able to delete cell values so they are not reflected in the final percentage. I know there is a marco that deletes the entire row but that is too much I just want a target cell.

I am trying to make a certain cell range turn red on the week that a cell has listed.
What this is being used for is to track the work of our contractors, and I currently have this set up to auto calculate the jobs that are being done and when, but I would also like to include something in there that when the contractor is set to head back to India, that day forward is listed as "red" under his name. This will allow me to see if I need to extend his work based on the number of hours he has left in his jobs. I will attach the picture of it...on the top you will see dates, and the pivot table on the bottom shows when he will need new work, but I am going to add a field that has the date he is set to leave, this is what I want the coloring of fields to go off of! ...

I've attached an example workbook.
Trip Plan example.xlsx
I'm trying to work out how to have cells R11 - Rxx generate the correct date, based on the rest of the calculations.
Please note that the attached is a crude cut down version of the larger spreadsheet, for the purpose of highlighting my problem.
SO, if E7 is changed, subsequently the values in K11:Rxx will be respectively updated.
D12 and G12 are entered manually. (although I'll probably make these drop downs or date choosers at some point...)
Depending on the value in E7 and time in D12, the required break period is listed in K11: Kxx.
The time that these periods of rest are required to occur before is then calculated and listed in O11:Oxx.
I need R11:Rxx to calculated the appropriate date from these calculations, relative to the date in G12.
For example, the rest required in K11, is required on the same day, as such it need to populate with the value in G12.
However the rest required in K13:Kxx, is required by a time (O13:Oxx) on the following day - G12+1
In some case, this time variance could run over 2 or more days.
I figure it's got something to do with the value in D12 also including the date of 0/1/1900.
I'm happy to add hidden cells for formulas/results to work around it, as the end product will print as an A4 document, where many cells will be locked.
Would prefer not go with any VBA unless it's my only option as I haven't done any VBA stuff as yet.
NB (the value in P5 is static only in this example)

I own 3 restaurants and I use Excel to track my sales statics. I have to enter certain pieces of data on a daily basis and it can become slightly cumbersome when dealing with the sort of washed out look of Excel spreadsheets. I wanted to write a Windows application that would handle the process for me but my knowledge of programming languages is too limited and I don't really have the time to learn. What I'd like is to have a single page on my workbooks with which I can enter the data in on a field type view, and have it go to the appropriate cell on the "Raw" data sheets in the same workbook. For example:
Let's assume this is the Raw data sheet. I currently enter the data that I need here, and Excel does the rest for me. This gets hard to look at everyday when dealing with hundreds of numbers.
Net Sales
Taxes
Prior Year Sales
Percent Increase/Decrease
[Code].....
Entering the data here would automatically fill in the data on the Raw sheet, and would know which cells to put the data into based on the date, which would of course be gotten from the =Today() formula.

Sheet1 is a report that expresses 90 days of information and Sheet2 has three columns of 365 day information. Sheet1 has a title, a today function for the date (cell B2), two columns (A5:A94 and B5:B94), and then some other info not relevant to the problem. Sheet2 has three columns (A1:A365, B1:B365, and C1:C365) with the date in column A starting at the first of the year and then two lists of information in columns B and C. I am wondering if there is any way excel would be able to recognize the Date (B2) on Sheet1 and be able to pull the information from Sheet2 starting on that date for the next 90 days.
For example:
My report always starts on the day I am accessing it. So... Say it is 1/15/13. My today function in Sheet1 (B2) would express 1/15/13. This date would be equal to A15 on Sheet2. So I would want A5 & B5 on Sheet1 to return B15 & C15 from Sheet2 respectively.
A5 Sheet1 = B15 Sheet2 & B5 Sheet1 = C15 Sheet2
A6 Sheet1 = B16 Sheet2 & B6 Sheet1 = C16 Sheet2
...
A93 Sheet1 = B103 Sheet2 & B93 Sheet1 = C103 Sheet2
A94 Sheet1 = B104 Sheet2 & B94 Sheet1 = C104 Sheet2
With that being said, the next time I open up my report, say a week from the 15th or 1/22/13 (expressed by my today function in B2), I would want A5:A94 & B5:B94 to reference the new set of information:
A5 Sheet1 = B22 Sheet2 & B5 Sheet1 = C22 Sheet2
A6 Sheet1 = B23 Sheet2 & B6 Sheet1 = C23 Sheet2
...
A93 Sheet1 = B110 Sheet2 & B93 Sheet1 = C110 Sheet2
A94 Sheet1 = B111 Sheet2 & B94 Sheet1 = C111 Sheet2
Is this at all possible?
