Restricting Moving Onto Another Cell Until One Is Filled In
Apr 17, 2009
I'm an intermediate Excel user that can navigate around pretty well, but now my boss wants me manipulate Excel in such a way that I cannot figure out how to do.
He wants the worksheet to be "locked" so that I cannot select another or "the next" cell unless the active cell I'm in has something entered into it. The purpose of this is so that when a manager is buying off (proofing and approving) my work, he can't put his initials in a cell next to the purchased item unless the cell that decribes the purchaed item is filled in. I'm not exactly sure what terminology to use when describing this, so forgive me if I'm being vague.
Can I restrict a user from "moving on" to another cell unless the active cell is filled in? And if so, how do I do this?

So i have been working on this and i am so close. I need to make it so when you enter c in column J it will delete that row and move it to sheet 2 to the next available row. At this point i have it deleting the row and moving it over but it keeps using the same row and over writing the the lines already there. Here is what i have gotten so far.

I have a cell in a spreadsheet which has a lot of text entered. The spreadsheet needs to be used by another application (Business Objects).
My problem is that I need to limit the number of characters entered in the cell to 255 characters. I know I can use Data, Validation to limit the text length, but this only works once all the data has been entered, then a message is displayed.
My ideal soulution would be:
When a user is entering text and has reached my 255 character limit, no more text can be entered;
or
When a user is entering text and has reached my 255 character limit, the text automatically continues in the next cell.
A not so elegant solution (but a usable) would be:
A character counter to let the users know when 255 characters have been reached.

I am wanting to have certain cells of data from one worksheet appear on another worksheet once the cells on the first sheet have data entered in them.
I find that I can do a simple formula to copy the cell but I want the cell to remain blank until data is added in the first sheet (it will be a mix of text and numerical entries).

I have a spreadsheet with 6 hidden columns (B to G). Rows 1 to 14 are frozen and have data that comes from another work book and these rows will be protected. The user will enter data from H14 to U14 and then H15 to U15 for the next row and so on down the sheet. The number of rows of data over a week is variable, a minimum of 21 rows (3 per day) but no maximum.
When the user starts entering new data in the column range H to U I would like to automatically populate the 6 hidden cells on that row with information from particular cells in protected rows 1 to 14. For example B14 would populate with the value from I4, C14 would populate with the value from I5, D14 from I6, E14 from I7 and so on whenever someone enters a value anywhere from H14 through to U14.
I can understand that a worksheet change event would be useful to do this but I guess then it wouldn't want to run every time each cell is populated so I think if it had to activate on a single cell change then the cell in column L would be best. Also, as I understand it, there can be only one block of code per sheet that operates on a worksheet change event, have I got that right? If that is the case then I assume all the code to populate the hidden cells on each row will need to be in this block of code.

I have data entered in rows 2:10. The amount of data is variable for each row. For example, in row 2, columns A:F are filled out, and the rest (G:P) are blank. In row 3, columns A:J are filled out and K:P are blank. The data is always entered from left to right, and to a maximum up to column P. Hope this makes sense.
In column Q, I want to write a formula that will tell me the last filled column of that row (A=1, B=2, C=3, etc.). So in Q2 would display 6. Row 3 would display 10. And so on.

I've attached a simple spread which gets across the main problem. i need the totals row (currently row 7) to drop down a cell each time the data base above has an extra row added to it its pretty much a cosmetic issue but it can be useful on hugely long spreads.

I am counting days until a part is filled, and would like the unused lines to stay blank until a date is entered. below is a pic of my sheet.
I would like the 40034 colum to be blank (colum k) to be blank until there is a date input into colum b (date req)
My formula for colum k is =IF(ISBLANK(A4),TODAY()-B4,A4-B4).

I want to create a room reservation sheet, based on the following:
December
Room 1
Room 2
08:00 am
09:00 am
10:00 am
Where the blank cells should be filled with a color (red, blue, anything), based on another sheet that tells me i.e that the room 1 is occupied from 09:00 to 10:00 and room 2 from 08:00 to 09:00 am.

How could i change this formula so
If the previous cell "filled with a number" in column D is equal to C17 Then C18 otherwise c17
This is the formula
This formula is in D38
=IF(DAY(A38)=DAY($C$13),$C$17,)
This formula is in D65
I also need to apply the same to this formula
=IF(MOD(ROW(A38)-MATCH($C$13,A:A),7)=1,$C$17,)

Is there any formula or macro that can be used to detect the value of the last filled in cell in a column or row? For example, I fill in column B each day with a new numerical variable, so on day one B1 = 100, on day 2 B2 = 200, on day 3 B3 = 150 and so on. I would like the last variable entered in column B to appear in, for example, cell A1. Is there any way to do that?

I have written several pieces of VBA code which produce a sequence of tables on a single worksheet (with the rather original title "Tables"). The code often adds tables to the end of the current set of tables, and to do this, I need to know where the next available space is.
I have a solution which I have been using for ages now, which checks each cell in an appropriate column until a sequence of 3 blank cells has been found as I can guarentee that the tables are at most 2 cells apart. It then sets i=i-3 to give me the location of the first empty cell.
Blankcount = 0
i = 3
While Blankcount < 3
If Cells(i, 3) = "" Then
Blankcount = Blankcount + 1
Else
Blankcount = 0
End If
i = i + 1
Wend
i = i - 3

Is it possible to display text based on the contents of another cell?
I am creating a report that includes all our data for the year per month - this builds dynamically every time i create the next months report.
So far i have data for,
Column A-- Column B
Jan - have data
Feb - have data
March - have data
April - no data yet...
In this example i would want the following text to appear in another cell,
Statistics: January - March 2007
It would dynamically update to January - April 2007... once April cell had data.
It's probably very easy but after several attempts i can't get it working as such.

I have taken over a workbook that due to various constraints elsewhere I cannot change the structure.
Each of the three columns in question C, E & F have dropdown validation lists.
Column C is either Import or Export
Column E is a list of locations where work is Imported From
Column F is a list of locations where work is Exported To.
Based on whatever choice is made in column C either Import or Export I only want the user to be able to select a value in E or F.
So if Import is selected then a value cannot be entered in F

I am making a spreadsheet that will be used to track employee time usage. I would like to be able to create a graph of the time throughout the day that shows only whether or not the employee has entered an activity during each particular time slot.
EX: The graph shows the time from 8-10am in 30 minute increments. The employee has entered activities for the time slots from 8-9 and 9:30-10. When the graph is created, I would like to see times 8-9 and 9:30-10 filled (or, charted, or, however I should phrase it) and time 9-9:30 left blank (to represent that no work was done).

I would like the users to have the option of filling in the cells with "RED" by any means.
Here are the conditions or pseudo
If (any cell in Column X is RED)
Then (copy the row to Copy Rows Filled With Red)
If ( the cell in Column X is not longer RED)
Then (remove the row from Copy Rows Filled With Red)
In plain English, if the cell is filled with RED, it is copied over to sheet Copy Rows Filled With Red. Or if the cell is no longer filled with RED, it is removed from Copy Rows Filled With Red.
Please see attachment for explanation.

I have a spreadsheet that has a bunch of empty cells that I need to fill in. Someone else needs to know which ones I have filled in after I am done. Is there a way that I can have Excel automatically highlight the cell after I put something in?
I know I could highlight the cell manually after I put something in it but if Excel can do this automatically for me, that would be the best as this is a very large spreadsheet and there will be many blanks to fill in. I am using Excel 2003.

I did find information from other posts but with my mininal knowledge of VBA, I am not able to apply the macros for my need. I have an order form. Row 1 to 10 contain personal information. Column A is the "quantity" and Column E is the " total" with a formula. If cell of column E is filled (contain the $ amount), I want the whole row copied to another sheet. I also want row 1 to 10 to copy to the other sheet as well.

I am using the copy range command to copy cells from one worksheet to one that is generated on commandbutton click. Is there any way to 'paste' the cells in row 3 instead of row A?
The code i am using looks like this -
Worksheets("Products").Range("A" & i + 2).Resize(1, 6).Copy Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1)
This code works fine, but i want the data to start in row 5, not at the top.

I am trying to get a macro that converts Japanese digits to their Roman counterparts but does it only in a specific column. My original version just selected the J column and then Cells.Replace ran just fine on just that column. I have discovered, however, that the users may make the crucial column either J or K, so I changed it to search for the header first, and then select that column. It replaces in the entire sheet, however.
Here's what I've got (I've only given you one digit replacement. The What doesn't display properly because this forum doesn't display Japanese):
