Sheet Has Lost The 'UNDO' Facility
Jun 23, 2009
I have created a spreadsheet in the field of marine surveying. In that sheet, I have used a lot of macros (21 modules) and a lot of VBA, most of it provided by kind people on this forum. But what has happened now, is that when I use that particular worksheet, the 'Undo' menu item in the 'Edit' menu has become permanently grayed out and it says 'Can't Undo'.
In other words, I cannot undo, even if I have made the wrong entry in an unprotected cell. If I use any other sheet, or make a new sheet, everything returns to normal. So, is there any way I can re-gain the 'Undo' facility, while using that particular sheet. I am using Excel 2003 on a Windows XP Home (SP3) platform.

I have a sales spreadsheet, that people on this forum have very kindly helped me with by giving me two macros; one to remind users that they need to update the month cell when an order comes in, and the other to automatically put the date in a cell when any cell in that row is changed.
The final thread is here: Message To Remind That Cell Is Mandatory
and the Macro used is:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim c As Range
Application.EnableEvents = False
For Each c In Target
If c.Column = 11 Then
If c.Value = "100 - Purchase Order In" Then
MsgBox "Is the Month In correct?"
End If
End If
If c.Column > 1 And c.Column < 18 Then
Cells(c.Row, 1) = Now
End If
Next c
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
However...
We've now found that we cannot undo anything in these spreadsheets. If, for example, a cell is incorrectly copied or deleted, the only way of undoing the change is to shut down the spreadsheet without saving!
Is this just a by-product of using the time macro (a search on other threads suggests that it might be), and, if so, is there any way of changing it?

I have a file without password (on file there is sheet protection) & file in shared base with 31 sheets.
User can't do following things :
1. User can't Hide column and can't make a change in column width
2. User Can't delete any sheet from file.
if user do the above thing then undo the event or stop the above event.
This file is on shared mode and i don't want to use sheet protection

I might have hit a wrong key or button, which caused a part of the current sheet not being displayed.
First column shown is C, but cols A an B are still in the sheet.
How can I get cell A1 in the left hand corner again?

I have a spreadsheet with a print button which allows the user to print only the parts I want them to see. I have removed the Printer icon on the toolbar, but does anyone know how to remove the Print option on the File menu? (File/Print)

I need to be able to prevent any user from cutting and pasting data in one of my spreadsheets. I have protected it all, removed cut and paste from the options- edit tab, but you can still cut and paste with the right mouse shortcut key.
How do I stop this from being available?

I was wondering if possible i could use an on_click method to open the find facility in excel. I know it may be easier to use the Edit, Find or Ctrl+F way.
But i have people using excel with no past experience what so ever, and i would like to make it as easy as possible....i.e a click of a button that says "Search".

how I can solve the issue of creating a spreadsheet (similar to an amortization one) that could deal with unequal re-payment regime as well as unfixed (anytime of the month) payment periods.

I have an excel file with a large amount of employee data in it and want to create a search facility that will run on variable search functions and display the information on the screen
I want to be able to enter variable search functions as follows:
Employee Number; shows all information on employee
Division: shows all employees in division (possible from a list of all divisions)
Appraisal Eligibility : Applicable shows all the applicable employees
Job Role: shows all the employees with the same job role (possibly from a drop-list of all roles)
I know its easier in Access, but all records in Excel as a legacy and don't have time to create an access database currently.

A Worksheet_Change macro in Sheet1 changes the font colour if the target is cell(1,1). So, if I change the value of cell(1,1), it will become red. But then I cannot change it back to the original value because the undo button is not active anymore. And what if I changed cell(1,1) by mistake instead of cell(2,1), and I want to put it back to the original value?

I have a database in excel which I want only selected users to have edit rights & others should have readonly rights. I have written the following code where a pop up would appear in selected cells warning user for editing the said cell. What I want is when a user clicks yes he should be able to edit it & when he clicks no the cell should get protected.
Private Sub Workbook_SheetSelectionChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
Dim rTriggerCell As Range
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("D1:D100")) Is Nothing Then
Set rTriggerCell = Target
Application.EnableEvents = True
If MsgBox("Edit Cell?", vbYesNo)
End If
On Error Goto 0
Exit Sub
End If

I need to create an Undo Last command button.
I have created a textbox using the control toolbox and I have created command buttons that populate text when I click them into the text box.
Do you guys know the code for a command button to undo the last entry in the text box.

What i have is a userform which contains textboxes a user can enter or change data in.
What i'd like to do is to have a button called something like "undo last" whereby a user can 'swap' back the last change they made.. does anyone have any idea how i might go about it?

In Dave and Raina Hawley's excellent Excel Hacks book they showed how to increase the undo limit of 16 up to 100. THis only works for EXcel 2002. Any Bright spark know how to do this for Excel 2003?

Is there a structure inside of Excel which keeps track of all the actions taken by a user (something that would presumably be used to allow for an undo sequence)? If so, is there a way to get access to it?

I'm working on a massive Excel sheet which admittedly uses tons of macros, comboboxes and pivot tables. My issue at the moment is that I have no idea why Excel is pasteing values from specific sheets into the current sheet, when I click on 'Undo'. I've only been able to replicate it when i copy, paste and then undo. I've removed code relating to those sheets and it still does it. I also have no macro's using Ctrl+z. The sheet, whose values it's pasting, does use comboboxes. I have changed the linked cell property in Excel to the "SheetName"!"Cell". It still does this. The odd thing is that it doesn't do it to new workbooks or new sheets.

I keep a client list and excel at random will essentially hide entire rows of entries. For example if I go to search a name from the name column that I know I entered nothing will return but if I specifically enter the cell number that is hidden the information will be show, does excel 2011 have an auto-grouping or hiding feature that I'm not aware of? If so, how do I get rid of it? I'm not sure if this makes a difference but all the numbers to the left most of the sheet are blue where in every other sheet they are gray.

I'm using a lot of "activeCell.offset(row,col).address" type of entries to form formulas for me. All of the references come across as Absolute References - $G$24, for example. Is there a different way for activeCell to give me a "normal" address ('G24' vice '$g$24') or a function that will convert for me?

I'm new to VBA & would like to use the MsgBox() function to display some of the data found in the information pop-up window when a user hovers the mouse over the undo button (e.g. Typing '=ABS(C3)' in C6).
I want to take this text to put it into something like this:
MsgBox("You just " & CODE_FOR_UNDO_TEXT & ".")
This will allow me to remind users of the last action they took.

I have a user who wanted a spreadsheet to highlight cells containing formulas whenever the formula was changed. (They want the ability to make changes, but want those changes highlighted. They do not want to protect cells with formulas.) I tried to accomplish this with Conditional Formatting but could not figure out a way to do it, so I turned to VBA. I wrote the following routine that is called on the Worksheet_change event:
Sub CheckFormulas(Target As Range, FormulaRange As String)
Dim CurCell As Range
For Each CurCell In Range(FormulaRange)
If Target.Address = CurCell.Address Then
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 3
End If
Next CurCell
End Sub...................
