I have set all cells in a worksheet to be protected. I then selected specific cells that are not protected. The problem is that cells A11:D29 except C13:C14 do not follow the protection rules in that I can edit them (but when I right click, I cannot format, just like they're protected). These cells are NOT part of the group that was selected to be unprotected. When I unprotect the sheet and check the protection setting for these oddball cells, it shows as protected. All other protected cells do not allow entry (which is what I want).
I would like to fill some cells with a customer id if this customer is the same as the cell bellow. As my example below.
CUSTOMER idCUSTOMER NAME TYPE 737346 Nikos 81 1154765 Kyriakos 81
1154780 Thanos 81
I would like to fill automatically the empty cell bellow Kyriakos the customer id 1154765 in new column. I want in column "new" to fill with customer id and when the customer id is empty to fill the same customer id as above customer id.
Ive been having a little issue with this spread sheet. The problem ive got is I cant get the validation to work where it only allows one yes in a bunch of cells and gives an error message, heres an example of what im talking about.
I'm having to successfully add three conditional formatting rules, and associated cell interior colour formats if any of the rules are met.
Each time I run my macro, I want to refresh every cell, within a defined range within a Col P, with these rules.
So far, I can add the three rules to each cell, but when I try and add the format colour - for when a rule is met - I keep getting a 'Subscript out of range error'.
(As an aside, is my For / Next loop approach the best one to take to add the formatting to each cell, or can it be written much simpler?)
Here's my script:
VB: Dim Col_P As Range Dim Cell_in_ColP As Long 'Set up range of cells to add conditional formatting rules to Set Col_P = Worksheets("tRIIO Pack Notices").Cells(2, 16).Resize(Lrow - 1)
I have a long set of data that I extract a "table" out of based on index matching controlled by 4 different criteria. This part is working as intended. However I need to format the cells with the corresponding "fetched data" based on another criteria. Makes sense? Have a look at a spreadsheet i made representing my problem. It has comments for the problems.
I have a sheet that has 13 players listed in rows down column A. I have 6 columns each representing a quarter in a game. I was wondering what the best way would be to randomly select 5 players in each column and to distribute each cell selection as equally as possible over the 6 quarters.
So what I am doing is having excel designate equal amounts of playing time for each player each game.
how to apply conditional formatting via VBA to a range of cells based on input from another range of cells. Obviously this would be easy in Excel 2010, but I'm still using 2003 at the office and it needs to stay in this format to be readable by other users:
For cells M8:EK8, my conditional formatting condition 2: Formula Is =AND($E$8>=M2,(($E$8-$D$8)>=(N2-$M$2))), color index is 40 condition 3: Formula Is =AND($F$8<=M2,$G$8>=M2), color index is 39 I want to add: condition 4: Formula Is =AND($H$8<=M2,$I$8>=M2), color index is 40 condition 5: Formula Is =AND($J$8<=M2,$K$8>=M2), color index is 39 and so on
The cells in the range M8:EK8 are blank, they only get colored based on input added to D8 to K8. If there is no input, then the cells should be uncolored.
Basically, I want to format a group of cells to display 1 decimal figure if the number is not a whole number. If the number is a whole number (or if the rounded first decimal place is 0) I want it to display no decimal.
I want to utilise an artificial protection by keeping a cells value constant even though it can be selected, deleted, edited etc.
Is this possible? I want to make a sheet where the cursor isnt visible except on certain sets of 4 cells.
My method being leave the 4 cell sets unlocked and lock everything else and then protect the sheet.
This means only the 4 cell sets are selectable/editable but I only want them to be selected (as this triggers events) but I dont want their values to be changeable. The values will always be 0,1,2,3
I have hidden columns on a sheet. I protect the sheet with a password before I send out the file to a 3rd party. However, it seems that all a user has to do is select the sheet cells, copy and paste onto another sheet or file. The protection is nonexistant and the user is able to unhide the columns.
Am I missing something? Is there a way to "really" protect a sheet so that a user is unable to unhide confidiential columns? Preferably a method without VBA code.
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.
I have the following code from a form. It works just fine copying named ranges from one sheet to another. The probloem now is that I don't want to copy the characteristic of the formating or whether they are protected or not. The originating spreadsheets have cells that are protected. I am trying to copy those values over to the new sheet and paste their values or formulas but not their formatting (background color) or the fact that some of the cells are 'locked'. I want the new sheet to have the values and formulas but not the be lock for the user. Is this possible with the current way I do the code or do I have to rewrite it? How would you approach this?
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Import_Data_Form.Hide
Run "NPA"
Set b = Selection ad = b.Address
' Local Variables Dim wkbDataFile As Workbook
' Let user select source datafile Call UserSelectFile_WOpen(wkbDataFile) If wkbDataFile Is Nothing Then MsgBox "User did not select a workbook to open" Exit Sub End If
Application. ScreenUpdating = False Set wb = ThisWorkbook
I'm protecting a spreadsheet with Excel 2000. For that i used the Excel functionality : Data -> " Validation"
Unfortunately, I can not protect the all sheet or workbook (Requirement). So even if the cells are protected by "Validation", any user can delete the cells using the key DELETE or BACKSPACE on the keyboard !
VBA Macro (which could be activate at each change on the sheet for example...) ? or if it's possible to avoid cells deleting with the "Validation" in the Excel Data menu ?
If it's a macro, it would do :
1 ) see if a user is pushing DELETE or BACKSPACE on the keyboard
2 ) see if the cell contains formulas
3 ) if yes, make a box appears to say that is not possible to delete this cell
I am creating a worksheet that I need to encorporate an If statement into. What I need to happen is when cell A1 has a number in it (1,2,3,4...) I need it to perform a function on cells B1 and C1. However there will always be information in cells B1 and C1, but I only need it to perform the function when the number in cell A1 is anything but 0.
I am trying to format all cells on all sheets (hidden or otherwise) as "Locked" so when the sheets are protected the user can't see the formulas. This macro individually selects every sheet in the book and applys the formatting. Is there a way to modify this code to accomplish the same thing without having it actually select every sheet? The only reason it is an issue is that after running the macro you end up on the last sheet in the book.
How can I create a rule for a table that finds a specified word and replaces it with another such that the rule would continue to apply to the table even when a new record (or row) is added. There has to be a simple way to do this without a macro.
Seems to behave differently each time it is called from my main Loop. As an example the first loop finds: TotalTubes = 6 TubeRows = 4 TopRowTubeCount = 2 Where 6/4 = 1.5 and is rounded up to 2
The controlling variable in my code for Length is TopRowTubeCount and it is a Public Variable Dimensioned as an Integer
However on the next loop it finds: TotalTubes = 210 TubeRows = 4 TopRowTubeCount = 52 Where 210/4 = 52.5 and is rounded down to 52?
I even used the round function for the TopRowTubeCount calculation and the erratic behavior continues.
I have 2 input boxes. Input Box 1 asks for user's Date of Birth. Input Box 2 asks for user's name: Pretty simple right! They will loop until following 2 conditions are met: If the user enters something in them OR user presses Cancel. If they are empty and Ok is pressed then keep on looping.
how to display the current set of conditional formatting? I don't want to go to the cells I want a listing of all the conditional formatting rules. I am sure I have seen this somewhere in the past but cannot locate it.
I have two conditional formatting rules that work independently, but I am looking to combine them into 1 rule, making (2) subject to (1) when (1) is true
I have started to use excel again because I need to create a spreadsheet for maintenance hours done on a vessel. The problem I have right now is, how to set a rule to allow only certain multiple of a particular number to appear. For example,
I have a initial cell value where I have to manually insert the total number of hours that have gone by in the vessel. Let us say that this value is 500 hours.
In another cell which is labeled, "Last Completed", it would have to read at how many hours this job was last completed.
I also have another cell which gives you the time interval before the job is performed again. This value is 250.
So if the current number of hours is 500, the last completed date should be 250. (assuming Maintenance was done at 0 hours and 250 hours).
How do I make it so that the "Last Completed" cell would read 250 until I hit 750 hours which at that point should read 500 Hours.
I'm looking for assistance with working out the following formula. I live on an apartment complex in Marbella Spain and we pay Monthly Community Fees of say $100.
We want to calculate a penalty amount for late payers of say 30% of the monthly fee due for non payers? So for instance if the monthly amount due in Cell D8 = 100 and the actual amount received in cell E8 shows 0 or then increase any figure due for the following month in Cell F8 should increase by 30% ($ 130) in the following month. and so on
I use Excel ver 2003. Trust my query is reasonably clear?
I'm trying to do a CONCATENATE function in Excel 2003. The first part of the function (this is working correctly) is a) concatenating 4 cells from a different worksheet (WB_NEW) into one cell and is b) putting a space in between each entry:
What I'm now trying to do is enhance this function to perform with 2 separate concatenation rules i.e. "if one of the cells specified above is blank, concatenate a different set of cells".
I am trying to clear row with the following rules:
the last cell must not contain 0, if 0 delete entire row. the first cell the the A row should be only three character long, if more delete entire row.
Now I managed to delete the 0 in the last cell and but cannot get the VBA to count the characters in the first row and if more than three, delete the entire row . I know to count the characters in a cell is done by Len(Rng.Value) , but getting the VBA right is alluding me .
the script is here,
Sub Del_rows_with_zero_in_column_of_activecell() Application.ScreenUpdating = False Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual Const StartRow As Long = 1 'Row to Start looking at Dim StopRow As Long Dim Col As Long
I want something strange but i guess you can do just about anything with excel these days if you ask around.
I want names for the sheets that are contained on a specific excel file that i have to be automatically generated accordingly to the following:
sheetname = runxyy_s=zz%
Where x is the lowercase letter of the word formed on the name of the first sheet of the workbook and yy and zz are values stored on specific cells on the sheet,lets say yy is A1 and zz is H4.
I have found this very challenging, and have really confused my self on how to systematically approach this. I have the user enter the value in the black highlight boxes, some subtraction produces a base value, the user may also enter the tolerance of the working value (base value), effectivlly giving rise to a small range to generate the permutations from.
What I would like to do then is find all permutations of the inventory (letters in the sheet) with their corresponding values right above them to the small range determined via the user (working value and tolerance). There are also quantity limits for each item. There four basic rules that need to be adhered to:
1) Permutation can't have both S and PP, so one or the other 2) Sum of H and HN must be greater or equal to sum of S and PP 3) H or HN or both must be present, so their sum cannot be zero 4) If HN is less than or equal to 2, and H is greater than 2, then NA and NG must equal 0.
