I have a pair of radio buttons on an Excel 2007 sheet. I want the buttons to be clickable, but have the sheet protected.
Both are defined as unlocked. The Group containing the two buttons is also defined as unlocked.
But when I protect the sheet, one of the two buttons gets the pop-up saying the cell is protected - the other button is fine. I've even tried unlocking the cells behind the buttons, but it still pops up.
I am trying to create a worksheet that has multiple radio buttons. Each radio button is linked to a Macro. I need there to be many buttons running down one side of the worksheet. Each button needs to perform a macro that is relevant to the cells in the same row that it is on.
Essentially what i am trying to do is make a macro that when the button is pressed copys data from H6 and paste it into B6. The button is situated above I6. I need a button for each row from 6 to 110.
While this macro is easy to create (i use the record button and then assign the macro to the button), i would have to do this 104 times and assign a new macro to each button.
Is there a quicker way?
is there a way to cause my custom menu items to grey out like the built-in ones, depending on the current selection or when the status of the active worksheet/workbook changes (e.g. when the book is protected to disallow certain actions)?
Obviously I can trap any problems once the associated VBA is invoked, but it'd be more professional if I could just prevent that from happening in the first place.
I've got a small problem with radio buttons. I've been asked to add a few to a sheet we use at work, problem I'm having is when I add these new buttons from the forms toolbar and then assign the cell link for them some of the other radio buttons on the sheet asume the cell link of the new buttons and when I change them back the cell link for the new buttons change ? i could understand this problem if I had maybe copied them and modified the copies perhaps but that isn't the case.

I have inherited a spreadsheet that has a text box and a radio form that I cannot delete for the life of me. I can't click to select either one nor right click to do anything. I have an "Approve" and "Reject" button on top of them and those work great. But how do I delete the others?

I have a "clear" macro that clears all fields and radio button values (none is ticket). This macro is called throughout different sheets, as different roles in the company have different KPIs and should be on different sheets. I need a code that detects all radio buttons within a certain sheet and clear their values. I cannot put specific radio button names, as I have a lot.

That I can take care of but what if the choice is more than one, it could be four and it is not fixed. Is that possible in autofilter? This is when they go to checkboxes where they may have many option. The mounting part is best example of many options. This is the part I can't incorporate to macro. It's somoething dynamic. I can't make my filter autoadjust. So essentially,I wanted to automatically edit the filtering based on those 10 criteria, which is also in ten different columns.Sample work.xlsm

View 2 Replies View RelatedI created two radio buttons on a spreadsheet where a user can select
one button for Yes and the other for No. When I right click these
buttons, I notice the names (shown on the left hand side of the
formula bar) are:
Option Button 3 (for No)
Option Button 4 (for Yes)
I'd like to create a macro that automatically selects the Yes or No
button depending on a cell value in another tab. If the cell value is
1, the macro should select Yes. If the value is 0 the macro should
select No.
I tried running the macro below:
Sub testSelectYesOrNo()
If Not IsEmpty(Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A1").Value) Then
Select Case Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A1").Value
Case Is = 1
Sheets("Sheet1").OptionButton4 = True
Case Is = 0
Sheets("Sheet1").OptionButton3 = True
End Select
End If
End Sub
But when this runs I get a "Run-time error 438 Object doesn't support this property or method"
When I click debug, the text "Sheets("Sheet1").OptionButton4 = True"
was highlighted.

How to add checkboxes and radio buttons.
I work in the science field and I'm trying to record an observation with some codes within a template. I have 5 different codes (A-E) to choose from and want to display the code that the person has chosen for each of the 6 compounds they are working with.
I started creating these command radio buttons with some code to display the results in part particular cell, but I would need to do this 30 times linking each group together to get what I want. I know there's an easier way to do this but ....
just wondering if there's a way i can make the Radio buttons and check-boxes in my forms select-able by hitting enter? My form is quite long and it takes too much time for users to always have to grab the mouse and click the box, if they could just tab to the radio box or check box and hit enter to select it it would be awesome!
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to make a basic worksheet that will have radio buttons. I have searched around for about 2 hours and can not find any documentation on how exactly to create a buttons and make it do what I want. I have also tried F1 in Excel but that hasn't helped any either. I did stumble uppon a file called "Options.xls" when searching this forum but it does not explain how the buttons were made. The only thing i can figure out how to do is basically insert a button onto the document, and rename the label of the button that's about it. I basically want to create a group of (3) or so buttons. If button A is picked, cell D1 will display "x". If button B is picked, cell D1 will display "y", and so on. Is there a link to an example out there that shows how to create and use buttons?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'd like to insert some radio buttons in a worksheet that activate a hyperlink to a web page and then be able to go back to where I started (ie the radio button)
I can link the button to a macro which was a recording of clicking on a hyperlink. The trouble is when I hit the return arrow to return to the sheet from the web page I go back to the location of the hyperlink not where I started from.
Is there a way to do this with the buttons.
If I can rearrange the sheet to allow for more narrow columns I may be able to just use the hyperlink friendly name argument and do it that way but I'm not so sure I can insert more narrow columns without messing up the layout of the whole sheet. With a button I can float several of them over an area regardless of the width of the columns.
every week i send out a pivot table to different project co-ordinators and would like a way of having simple option button so that they can have the data by "hours" or "costs" and can use tick boxes for the row fields they want to show, for example, "profession", "workstage"," name","cost rate". The page field will always be "Project" and the Column Field will always be "Period" and " Date"
I then want the pivot table to change automatically to their choices. I am pretty basic with VBA so may need explanantions too. It would save me sending out 10 versions of a pivot table all feeding off the same data! They could actually do something themselves! (i know they could drag the fileds they want into the areas they need them but trust me when i say they are not that advanced, they are good at ticking!!)
I'm trying to create a form using radio buttons from the "Forms Tool Bar" and not sure I shouldn't be using the "Control Tool Bar"
I've got multiple buttons and wanted to group them so i used the "Group Box" from the Forms tool bar but now there's a box around the buttons (I've turned off Printing for the box) that gets in the way of other text on sheet. I did some searching and thought I read where you could also use the drawing tool bar and draw a rectangle around the buttons which would then let them operate independent of other groups of buttons but that doesn't seem to work so I'm guessing I imagined it. I also noticed that if you don't draw the "Group Box" around the hole radio button box, they don't work with others in the same "Group Box"
I'm not sure if I should use the buttons in the "Control Tool Bar" but I'm thinking I should so that I have the flexibility should I decide to do something different in the future. I'm thinking about using the buttons to hide a sheet as well as select the sheet for printing, but for now one hurdle at a time.
Lastly I tried looking up some information on how to get the "Control Tool Bar" radio button to behave similar to the "Forms" version of the button (i.e. click the button and it appears to alternate from other buttons in the group), however when I place my mouse over the button it selects it rather than letting me change it's state from true to false.
When I protect my worksheet the option buttons, on occasion, give the error message "The cell or chart that you are trying to change is protected and therefore read only. To modify a protected cell or chart, first remove protection using the Unprotect sheet command. You may be prompted for a password." Sometimes I click on an option button and this error pops up and other times i can click the same button and no error occurs.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using Excel 2010 and I have a password protected workbook with password protected sheets that uses several macros. Most of them, in order to run, have to un-protect the sheet and then re-protect it again. This has been accomplished easily enough by adding ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:= "mypassword" and ActiveSheet.Protect Password:= "mypassword" to the appropriate places in the script. All of my macros, which do various things like sorting and moving data, deleting blank rows, displaying dialog boxes containing warning messages etc. run fine.
My problem is this: when I password protect the sheets manually, I have checked the following options in the "Protect Sheet" dialog box. Under "Allow users of this worksheet to" I have checked 1)Select unlocked cells and 2)Format cells. After entering my password and closing the dialog box my sheet is protected, but I can edit cells in the manner my allowances permit. However, once I run any of the macros that un-protect and re-protect the sheet, I remain able to select and edit unlocked cells (practically, for my purposes, this means that I can input data which will appear in the default font size and color of the sheet) but I cannot format cells (which, practically, for my purposes would allow me to occasionally change the font color and size of the data). Naturally, after running a macro, the other cell-formatting options are unavailable to me as well. Is there any way to get my manual selections to remain in place after running a macro that functions as mine do? Or is there any way to make my manual selections the default settings for a protected sheet?

I have a macro that saves a sheet to another workbook. However, that sheet contains buttons with macros, so when saving to a new workbook, the macros get copied over.

Is there a generic code to delete all buttons?
I'm going to be creating a workbook that contains a worksheet for each year. Within each worksheet, I will have a calendar format that contains a range for each month of the year (multiple columns and multiple rows). Is it possible to name areas based on month and then create a button or drop down list at the top that would allow users to select the month and the view would go to that area within the calendar?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook whose worksheets use protection (don't want my calculations stomped on).
When the Protection is on, the search function does not work. You call it up, write what you are looking for, it accepts it, and then when you tell it to search it ignores you.
When you turn the protection off, the search function works just fine.
HOWEVER....Other workbooks I have with protection on its sheets do not share this problem, just this one workbook. And the problem is on all sheets in this workbook. The problem is not on any of the sheets in the other workbooks. I can't see anything different between them, but then I may not know what to look at.
I wanted to know:
Q1. How can we insert new rows in a protected sheet?
For example: In the attached sample protected excel sheet "insert rows.xlsx" , if for Employee ID and Name fields, the user has more no. of records than provided, how can he insert new rows considering the fact that Company ID and Name field are locked.
Or any way to address this issue via some other method like adding a scrollbar,etc.
