Hitting Enter In An Unlocked Cell Without It Advancing To The Next Unlocked Cell
I have a locked spreadsheet with unlocked cells and checkboxes. The unlocked cells is for the user to enter text. The user navigation is top to botton in column a in sequential order by row. For example: I have an unlocked cell in A1, then 20 checkboxes from A2:A21 and then another unlocked cell in A22. My problem is that when the user types text in A1 and hits ENTER - the cursor jumps to A22 (the next unlocked cell and scrolls the screen down accordingly. The user then has to scroll back up to select the checkbox in A2 and so on down to A22 before typing in A22. I have created a command button that floats...that ultimately I would like the user to be able to select after typing in an unlocked cell(instead of hitting ENTER) and it removes the cursor from the unlocked cell - leaving the text entered - freeing the user to select checkboxes because excel didn't advance to the next unlocked cell.

Select All Unlocked Cells On Sheet
I am trying to select all unlock cells in the active sheet. However, my method checks through each cell in the sheet and it takes too long. Sub SelectUnlockedCells() Dim rng As Range If IsNull(Cells.Locked) Then 'if null then there is unlocked cells For Each c In cells If c.Locked = False Then If rng Is Nothing Then Set rng = c Else Set rng = Union(rng, c) End If End If Next c Else End If If rng Is Nothing Then Exit Sub rng.Select End Sub

When Protect A Worksheet Then Only UNLOCKED Select CELLS
Ok I've spent over 2 hours reading MANY peoples issues with this "BUG". Back in 2003 was the earliest... no one has an answer that works. When you protect a worksheet and only have UNLOCKED CELLS selected...somehow through loading and unloading the file... you can select locked cells.... I can not find a pattern but many people have had this issue all with no concrete answers. Just by loading and saving, exit and loading and saving, exit and loading.... i can now select locked cells that I previously couldn't. (I can't do anything as it's still protected...) It's a pain because it wrecks my tab flow.

Unlocked The Cell Protection
I have a workbook with several spreadsheets in it. My 1st sheet is a summary sheet, the rows represents the sum total find each worksheet, normally i will just clk on the cell in the summary sheet and clk on the worksheet i need and clk on the total. It always worked but suddenly won't respond. When i put= in a cell in the summary sheet and clk on the sum total of the other worksheets, it won't clk, it's like it has been frozen. I unlocked the cell protection but it still won't respond when i clk on any cells on the worksheets.

Select Cell Within A Range
how to select a cell in opposite (i.e right side of a range) while using a macro. My macro selects a certain range based on user input. The active cell is the left most upper cell. I need to move the active cell within the range to the right upper most cell. I tried the short cut key - tab, while recording a macro, but the macro just selcted a that certain cell.

Select Range Based On A Cell Value
I have a worksheet with a block of data. The size of this block changes. I am calculating and storing the upperleft and lower right cell position of the block in say cells AA3 and AB3 on the same worksheet. So far I have everything working fine. Now I want to create a button to trigger a macro to sort that block. I can figure out the button and make it trigger a macro. One of the lines in the macro is

Intersect In VBA: Select More Than One Cell In The Range
I have a piece of code that changes the format of a cell using an intersect statement on the range in question. However, if I try and select more than one cell in the range then an error message is returned: 'Run Time Error 13': Type mismatch. I know that it is caused by selectin multiple cells - is there a way to error handle this so that, when multiple cells are selected, it ignores the intersect statement?

Select A Range Based On Active Cell Location?
I'm trying to select a range of cells whereby the range is dependent on the currently active cell. I know you can use the "Activesheet.Range("A1:D2").select" method to select a range where the cells are always the same, but I'm after a dynamic selection where the values can be programmatically altered depending on some other result. For example, let's say that I make a certain cell active (based on the result of some other formula), and I want to select the range of cells in the adjacent column that is X rows deep. Putting this into context, imagine the resultant active cell is B2, I then want to select the range C2:C10, but if the active cell is E10, the range selected would be F10:F18 (if active cell is X, then range would be Y:Z). The Offset function would allow me to position the cell based on the current active one, but it doesn't let me select a range. The Range function only lets you choose either hard coded or index cells, e.g. "Range(cells(y,z), cells(y,z)).select", but this is still no good because I'd need to know the index value of the active cell (can this be done?).

Select Range Based On Variable Cell Content
Based on if the value in col A contains the characters "TT" I want to select the range starting with this cell and ending at the end at the end of the row I'm using (.End(xlRight) and then merge these cells, change colors etc. And then looping this through a 'range' so that it only occurs where the values occur. I can amend various cells based on this idea, but am unable to identify the range and then merge the cells.

Select Cell Range Relative To Starting Position
I need to change multiple conditional formats which apply to cell ranges 1 row x 17 columns wide. The specific change I am making is able to be acrried out with the code With Selection.FormatConditions(1).Font .ColorIndex = xlAutomatic End With However, I dont want the user to have to manually select each 17 cell area. I WANT THE USER TO JUST MANUALLY SELECT THE FIRST OF THE 17 CELL AREA. I want to write a macro that will THEN select a row of cells, 17 cells long, from the MANUALLY SELECTED position as at the moment of running the macro. Unfortunately the cells are not always on the same row in each sheet. On one sheet they may be on row 5, on another row 8 and on another, row 15 etc. I was wanting to be able to select a 17 cell range 'relative' to where the cursor is. How do I write the code to select the relative cell range? Is there an answer in an R[1]C[1]:R[1]C[17] sort of code?

If Select Sheet, Select Range Statement
I have a command button on sheet MASTER. When the workbook is Activated I want it to check and see if in sheet COSTM, cell B3 there are the words "Project Number", if so then show command button (ClearPrevious), if not, don't show. Also, when the If statement is finished, then the workbook needs to end up showing the sheet MASTER. I have tried various codes and none work, or they are on perpetual loops. I know this has got to be simple, but cannot find an example to take from to solve the issue. Would appreciate any help offered. Below is code I have right now. Private Sub Worksheet_Activate() If Sheets("COSTM").Select Range("B3").Select = "Project Name:" Then Me.ClearPrevious.Visible = True Else Me.ClearPrevious.Visible = False End If Sheets("MASTER").Select End Sub

Macro To Change Unlocked Cells
Is there any code to change unlocked cells to locked.. I have worksheets for each month which are protected with unlocked cells. At the end of the month I need to go into the worksheet unprotect it and run a macro to change the unlocked cells to locked so I can protect it again. This is to preserve the data entered into the cells.

When Protecting Workbook With Pw, Unlocked Cells Are Still Locked
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.

Clearing Unlocked Cells On A Protected Worksheet
I have a workbook with a series of sheets that have tables for entering data. The table row and column labels and formulas in certain cells of each sheet are locked and some sheets are hidden. When opening the file I want to clear all cell contents (interior color, comments, data, etc) in all the unlocked cells on each sheet that is not hidden. I tried protecting the sheets first so only the unlocked cells would be accessible, but when I run the code below I get an error saying that the clear contents etc. cannot be performed because the sheet is protected. If it is not protected, everything gets wiped out. How can I keep the locked stuff but clear the unlocked cells? For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets If ws.Visible = xlSheetVisible Then ws.Protect Password:="aaa" 'Protect each sheet ws.Cells.ClearContents 'clear content of any unprotected cells ws.Cells.ClearComments 'clear any cell comments ws.Cells.Interior.ColorIndex = 0 'set background colour to no fill Active.Cells.Range ("a1") 'make the active cell the top left End If Next ws

Prevent Unlocked Cells Becoming Locked Via Copy/Paste
I have users that are using a protected Excel Workbook where they sometimes have a need to copy values from Internet Explorer paste them into the protected Excel Workbook. When this happens, if the users select the cell and don't actually paste the text into the formula bar (or by double clicking the cell), they can replace the destination cell's formatting - which in this case makes the cells a locked cell instead of a unlocked cell. Now is there a way to automatically have the pasted value keep the destination formatting? Or perhaps is there a way to set the copy and paste settings so it only pastes text from Internet Explorer into Excel and not the formats? It is not an option for the userbase to select the option choice of matching the destination formating when pasting as it is a very large user base without much Excel experience.

Format Unlocked Cells On Protected Sheet- Mac
I'm using Microsoft Excel 2008 for Mac version 12.2.0 (090605) (Mac OS 10.5). I created a sheet, selected some cells to be locked and others to be unlocked (using Format > Cells), then I used Tools > Protection > Protect Sheet (choosing Contents only, not Objects or Scenarios). This has the desired effect of protecting the locked cells from users accidentally typing changes and overwriting their current contents. I can still enter new data in the unlocked cells as expected, but unexpectedly I cannot change the formatting of unlocked cells (e.g., shading, font - bold). These are *unlocked* cells so even if the sheet is protected, why can't I change the formatting for them? It is too tedious to Unprotect the sheet every time I need to change formatting of an unlocked cell. I have zero experience with Visual Basic and can't even find options that others have described (e.g., right clicking the sheet name does not yield "Show code" and Tools > Macros does not yield anything comprehensible about VBA). So if your suggestions involve something complex, please do include detailed instructions!

Prevent Locking Of Unlocked Cells When Copy/Paste
I have a workbook with a protected sheet, some cells locked others unlocked, which the users continually update. The problem is some of the unlocked cells are becoming locked, preventing the users from carrying out their role. I couldn't figure out how they were doing this until I saw Powered Convoy's thread Prevent Unlocked Cells Becoming Locked Via Copy/Paste. This occurs when pasting from another application. My question is as the title, how best to prevent unlocked cells in a protected sheet from being locked by the user? I could try to write VBA to intercept all the different ways of pasting data, 5 that I can think of, but was hoping someone else has come across this flaw and has a better or easier solution.

Protection: Odd As The Area That Its Hovering Over Contains Unlocked Cells
When unprotected my spreadsheet is working fine (apart from the fact that my users can do anything anywhere!) However, as soon as I protect it I am getting a mouse cursor that looks like its hovering over a clickable button? This is odd as the area that its hovering over contains unlocked cells? Then when I click one of the unlocked cells I get a message box that tells me that Excel cannot locate a macro? Its as though there is a macro being invoked by a click on the screen almost anywhere? as allowing full access only to certain ranges of cells is a pre-req for my project. my file is double the allowable attachable size so I have not attached it.

Prevent Users From Edit/change Formats Of Unlocked Cells
I have a spreadsheet that is very large and formated a certain way. I want to make sure that a user cant put the cursor in the lower left corner and copy cells by dragging, copy & paste, or do anything other than input data and be able to highleght text and reinput data in case they mistyped or misspelled the data. ex: user clicks on cell E33 and types in '1234568' and then move to next cell. The user can click back on E33 and can correct by retyping. That is all the user is allowed. The cells in question are also in ranges if this helps. EX: 'E33:AJ67'

Select Used Range
I know I've seen the syntax for this before, but have done multiple searches and for the life of me I can't find it. Here's what I'm wanting to accomplish. In my spreadsheet I have hundreds of rows of data. Columns E thru G of this data contain numbers, and I must insure they are formatted as such. To do this, I simply put a "1" in an empty cell, copy it, then select the range I want to format, paste special, choose values and multiply. Easy enough, but when I try to do it via macro I get a bunch og "0" in the empty cells. I can't find how to select only the used rows in those columns. Here's an example of what I've got.

Select Range Of Columns
I'm in the midst of preparing a Year-To-Date (YTD) simple financial report in MS Excel. Firstly: I allow user to enter a number in cell A2. Secondly: Cells from A4 - L4 are linked from Sheet1. Cell M4 will give sum of A4:L4. Users are not allowed to change data in cells from A4 - L4. Users are only required to enter a number between 1 to 12 in cell A2. Upon update cell A2, the VBA shall sum the number of columns as entered in cell A2. For example, if user enter 3 in cell A2 then cell M4 must give sum of A4:C4. If user enter 8 in cell A2 then cell M4 must give sum of A4:H4.

Select Case Using A Range
I'm creating a small spreadsheet for client data in Excel and I want it formatted a certain way, I did consider data validation but it proved to just be annoying. I've been working on some VBA code to automatically change whatever text is typed into a cell to the correct case (ucase, lcase or proper) and while I can get it working for a single range of cells getting it to work for more is proving difficult.

Select A Dynamic Range
This will be an easy on for you seasoned programmers. I want to find the last used cell in a column, and then select an offset range based on the location of that cell. For example, in the attached workbook, I have a button at the top that activates a macro to add a new week to my time sheet. This simply copies the contents of the current week, and adds it at the bottom. What I would like to do next is clear the data from the newly added cells, leaving the formulas in columns A, B, C, J and K. In the attached example, I have just added Week 3. I would now want to locate the last used cell in Column C, (C24), then offset from that cell to select the range D18:I24, and clear the contents of those cells.

Looping To Select A Range
My ultimate goal is to have some rows of data and and checkbox with each row. I will have a button that will copy only the rows that are checked and paste them into a new worksheet. With the help of some other posts on this site, I was able to figure out how to loop through the checkboxes and copy and paste some data. The problem is I am only copying and pasting in the same rows. I need to know how to move on to the next row that is checked, which is not always the very next row. Here is what I have so far: Dim i As Integer For i = 1 To 26 If ActiveSheet. OLEObjects("CheckBox" & i).Object.Value = True Then Worksheets("Master"). Range("B8:J8").Select Selection.Copy Sheets("temp").Select Worksheets("temp").Range("A8").Select ActiveSheet.Paste Sheets("Master").Select End If Next
