Stop Users From Scrooling Outside Data Area
Feb 14, 2008
I have a sheet with 3 columns and I would like to have these 3 columns fit the screen so that an attractive user interface is created. I do not want to be able to scroll to blank area to the right of column C
I know nothing about Visual Basic and was trying to follow the following
Private Sub Worksheet_ Active ()
Me. ScrollArea = Range (Me. Used Range, Me. UsedRange (2.2) .Address
End Sub
I am using Excel 2000 and I either kept getting error messages or after changing the visual basic sheet headings to worksheet and Active respectively ( two headers at top of page) the macro still failed to work.
Colo HTML does not seen to work in the visual basic window so I cannot show you the page.

Amongst the several sheets contained in my workbook, there is one called 'Inspection Report'. Users fill in whatever data is required in the other sheets, and once they get to this one, they are supposed to enter a number from 1 to 3 into Cell X1 (which is currently selected) before they select anything else. Unfortunately, I am currently unable to stop them from doing what they should not be doing.
So, I would like to have a notification of some sort pop up into their face if they click or move the selection anywhere else while Cell X1 is still empty. Something like a validation would be nice.

I placed the code below in the ThisWorkbook section of a Service Request macro. The intention was to block users of saving the input they had just entered into the blank template. However, some continue to do it, despite the code. Obviously it is not as tight as I expected.
Does anyone know a better, tighter method, short of killing the offending user (which I am tempted to do, believe me!)?
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim LoginName As String
LoginName = Environ("username")
If LoginName "chuckdrago" Then
If SaveAsUI = True Then
Cancel = True
MsgBox "Saving this form is not allowed! Print a Copy"
Else
ThisWorkbook.Saved = True
Cancel = True
MsgBox "Saving this form is not allowed! Print a Copy"
End If
End If
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
ThisWorkbook.Saved = True
End Sub

The code that I'm using is supposedly not allow spreadsheet to be opened after a certain date, or does not allow a user to press any of the command buttons and comes up with a message saying the spreadsheet is closed for new entries.But is not working for me.
I placed the Code in the ThisWorkbook module.

I am trying to graph the following data in an area chart with line charts superimposed on the area chart. I have a lot of data (and a lot going on) so I'm trying to figure out the best way to show this in excel from a functional standpoing (i can't get this to work in excel!!) to also an asthetic standpoint (dont want it to look terrible or illegible). This is what I'm trying to chart:
1) Weather data (temperature) by region:
So one region, would be: Northwest
I would like the "area" (so a shaded region) to be the min/max of the temperature data for each month.
2) I would like to show the temperature for each year as a line graph on the chart - so you can see if a year falls in or out of the shaded region.
3) I would like to show a company's sales increases across the same months per year as separate line charts. I may choose to just show the biggest outlier year in the end... or to show 2006 (the latest data).
What I am trying to convery with the chart is that the company's sales is or is not tied to weather deviations. I have attached an excel file with the data. I haven't been able to use the area chart or get a two axis chart to work or get it to look even remotely professional.

I have a large workbook that contains markbook info of all my classes that I teach.
I don't want them to see all my workbook as it would be too confusing. I would like to hide all the data and have a simple INPUT box on a separate page that would ask for their name. The name would then be used to find the row number, add this to a specific column number (always the same) which hold their marks and then return the mark in a Message box.

i have a query spreadsheet where all business queries are logged. Next to each query you need to select a resolving reason from a drop down list, however i would like some of these to be locked so only certain people could use them.
Lets for ease of use the resolving reasons are the following -
Not paid
Allocated Correctly
Rejected
And say the drop down list is in column P
I would like everyone to use the top 2 but only certain members of the team to be able to use the last one.
I was thinking protect the cells in some way and a worksheet change event of some kind so protect / unprotect depending on the resolving reason.

I have a few people all entering in data into excel, since they cannot be all in one sheet they each have their own copy. I would like to be able to extract all data where column P reads "Red" from each users spreadsheet and then delete the corresponding lines from their spreadsheet (end of day activity)
The Sheets will be named
FDEntryU1AM.xlsm
FDEntryU2AM.xlsm
FDEntryU3AM.xlsm
FDEntryU4AM.xlsm
[Code] .......
I will then need to do the same in another workbook for all items Labeled Blue, but that of course will be same code with just an item replaced.
The idea is after they close up the person overseeing the data can import all at once and leave the users with fresh empty workbooks.

Currently I'm working with an amount of data that corresponds with one data point every day in one year. Not every day is measured thus nothing is entered, some days can also be 0. Therefore I've made an if statement in the column next to the raw data column with an if statement returning #N/A if a cell contains nothing or 0.
This gives me normally no problems when I want to make a Line chart, excel just skips the #N/A cells and draws the line to the next data point (that's the whole reason for the if statement). However this is impossible with area charts. I can understand why, but I still want it as nothing or 0 in a cell not necessarily mean that nothing happened.

My Workbook contains several UserForms in which employees will be entering hours and activities on a daily basis. In the UserForm, they select their department and enter hours for each specific type of work/activity that shows up for that department in the userform. They click the submit button and all the data (date, name, department, type of work and hours) is added to a database table in another sheet, which in turn feeds a number of reports.
I need to be able to have anywhere from 20 to 100+ employees enter their hours on a daily basis, many of them at the same time, all from different locations (within the network of the client's system), using the same UserForms.
We've experimented with Google Drive, but that seems not to be the solution. It kind of works, but is not secure (it installs a copy of the entire workbook on the users system and then synchs the data back to the server upon "save") and way too cumbersome. I've heard of SharePoint, but not every client has that installed (and frankly I don't know how it works).

I am making a spreadsheet that allows users to select items from a validated data list. Each item in the list has a numeric value in an adjacent column. When the user is entering data they will select from a drop down of the data list in column "A" and I would like to have the numeric value that corresponds with their selection to then autofill in column "B". I have tried VLOOKUP and IF formulas but cannot seem to get anything to work.

my excel sheet runs through a lot of calculations, opens Flowmaster, a simulations program, passes on data, receivs data and so on. Is there any way to have a user input to stop the whole simulation. During the first tries I had a lot of break point in my debugger. But now I want to have a button to hit or better just some keys to hit to stop it without using the ctrl+alt+del which closes everything.

I have a series of X-Y Data (0-10 in both axis) that I want to overlay on an area chart to show outliers outside of an accepted condition. I have been able to create the area chart and the scatter chart separately but when I try to combine them the axis gets messed up. I tried using a secondary axis but I am not that skilled
I have attached the data and my feeble attempts at creating this chart.

I have a workbook with multiple sheets that I need to print.
Is there a way to create a fixed print area within which you can mess around with formatting without extending or shrinking the print area?
I have tried adjusting the margins settings so that they are all the same, but this does nothing to keep a fixed print area.

I have a report that runs, and it shows users that are in different groups. Within each group are primary users, and sometimes secondary users. Attached is a spreadsheet showing an example of the report in "A7:A52"
What I want to do is have a macro scan column A, and if a group is found, create what I have made in the rest of the spreadsheet (CD6 and below). I manually filled in the data for group 1, and would like it to continue off to the right in the same format.
There are some areas that dont have groups, such as there might be group 1, group 2, and then nothing till group 10 (as shown in the example)

I'm currently developing a calendar that has a list in it with lets say 4 options. What I want the calendar to do is calculate at a specific 'cell' the number of entries that are selected during the month.
The idea is to have a drop down on each 'day' and a counter that calculates the number of times one specific options has been selected. Once the option has been selected the 'day' will change to the corresponding color.

I have multiple data validations with input messages. For the new user, this is handy, but for the person that does this a lot, they get in the way. When I open the sheet, I can move one message to the side of the page and the rest of them come up at the same spot but when I save, exit, and reopen, the message comes up beside the cell and I would like it to always stay to the side of the page.

How to turn off or default the warning box message ...
"Data on the Clipboard is not the same size and shape as the selected area. Do you want to paste the data anyway"
I hate having to click yes on this every time I paste something. I do it hundreds of times a day.
My tables is centered and merged because my external date changes sizes each time I paste to the table.
I have looked all over to try and find an "OFF" warning/message button for this. I just want to know how to turn it off or default it to never pop up again!
