I want to make break tracker. When i press Windows + L Or CTRL + ALT + DELETE (Lock computer) Automatically lock time upload in my excel sheet. Then when i unlock pc then automatically unlock time will upload in my excel sheet.
View 1 RepliesIs there a way to lock and unlock multiple excel spread sheets with only one password at one go? For example if I have 5 sheets, I would like to be able to lock and unlock Sheets 2-5 with one password at one go while leaving sheet 1 unprotected. Do not want to type a pwd for each sheet.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am looking to write a code to lock/unlock cells based on values selected using a drop down list (see attached Excel) For example if Netherlands is chosen as the Country (Column A), then except for the columns Amsterdam (column B) and Eindhoven (column C), all other columns must be locked. Similarly, if India is chosen as the country from the drop down list, then only the columns New Delhi and Mumbai must be editable for the user, the rest of the columns remain locked.
I tried tweaking some of the lock/unlock codes around, but got lost especially with getting to run the macro - still trying to come to terms with running a "Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange" function in the sheet from "Module"!
How to Lock/Unlock an Excel Cell Based on the Contents of Another Cell?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to lock/unlock the VBA code in a workbook through VBA from another workbook? I wish to copy modules from one workbook to another, both workbooks will have the VBA code password protected to stop prying eyes. Obviously I need to unlock the VBA in the target workbook before the copy and lock it again afterwards. Can this be done programatically? If there is no function in VBA to do this can you provide an example of how to do it using SendKeys if that is the only way to do it?

None of the information Ive found on the forums seem to work in my sheet and Im not sure why. After protecting my sheet/workbook, I would like a particular input of a cell to Unlock another cell.
ie if the contents of cell A1 is the phrase "TRUE", then cell B1 will be Unlocked for editing. If the contents of A1 is "FALSE", then B1 shall remain locked. From what i can tell, this must be carried out using VBA code. If anyone can resolve this issue, Id be also very grateful if you could explain what each line of the code means
I have a worksheet that, unless a form for data entry is activated, should be read-only for columns 'A' thru 'M' and 'O' with column 'N' left editable.
The form is activated by a button with a macro assigned to enter the data in the above columns when the form is closed. This has been compiled and works nicely with the sheet unlocked, however, as i need certain columns to be read-only unless the form is activated, i'm stuck with leaving the whole sheet unlocked for editing with or without the form being activated.
Is there any way a VBA code could be used to unlock the worksheet columns that are read-only when the form is activated, and then lock them once the form data is entered to the worksheet and the form closed?
I need to lock cells or ranges in a worksheet which has value (any value)....
The cells which are blank should be unlocked so that the users can enter data.
I need to lock certain cells on a worksheet when a value is selected from a validation list. For example:
user goes to select an option from a validation list, that cell is now locked.
User decides to change the value with a blank option, available on the same list. the cell becomes unlocked ready for new input from the list.
the cell can only allow input when the value in the list matches that of another cell. if another cell already has different data in, it wont allow you to change the value.
trying to put together a formula, I am trying enable two cells to change between being 'Locked' and 'Unlocked'. I am doing this by using a CheckBox which is referenced to cell [E16] so that when it is checked, 'TRUE' will be displayed and when Unchecked 'FALSE' is displayed. From this I have tried to devise a formula for the cells [c26:I26] and [K26] that when cell [E16] shows 'TRUE' the cells [c26:I26] and [K26] are Unlocked and when it shows 'FALSE' the cells [c26:I26] and [K26] then become locked.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a solution to a problem and from what I've read in the forums so far, this is the place to come. I first want to say that I have tried to solve the problem by using guidance from other similar threads and adapt those answers to my needs, but as my understanding of VBA is non-existent this was somewhat difficult. I don't want to post a repeat question and I hate wasting people's time if unnecessary, but I can't do this on my own.
That being said, here is the problem;
(I have attached a simplified copy of the worksheet I am working on for reference)
I would like to lock a particular cell in my spreadsheet based upon the selections made from two drop down validation lists (Cells “C4” & “D4”)
Essentially, if a correct choice is made in both, then the cell “E4” becomes unlocked for editing. If however, the correct selection is made in one list, but not the other, I need the cell “E4” to remain locked and a message to appear to prompt the user to correct their mistake.
Furthermore, both the validation lists have a whole range of selections that are very similar but have subtle differences;
E.g.
"Soft Eye by Talurit"
"Soft Eye by Splice"
Is it possible to write a VBA code that performs a similar function to the =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("**",))) formula, so that if any choice that contains the word "Soft" is selected from either or both lists then the cell “E4” becomes unlocked, but if the selection does not contain that word then the cell remains locked?
If anyone could provide a code to make this happen, I would be very grateful! But please explain how to do this, as the word “Soft” won’t be the only parameter and I may need to alter the code so I need to understand the principle behind it; For example, on the spreadsheet, if in the ‘Inboard End’ list a ‘Soft Eye’ is selected and on the ‘Outboard End List’ a ‘Soft Eye’ is selected then cell E4 is unlocked for editing. If in the ‘Inboard End’ list a ‘Soft Eye’ is selected and on the ‘Outboard End List’ a ‘Fused and Tapered’ is selected then cell E4 is unlocked for editing, but if in the ‘Inboard End’ list a ‘Soft Eye’ is selected and on the ‘Outboard End List’ a ‘Standard Eye’ is selected then cell E4 remains locked and an error message appears to alert the user that his/her choices are incorrect. If however, "Soft" is not selected in either list then cell E4 remains locked (it has to be selected in at least one of the two lists to allow editing).
This is a work in progress (not all the formulas that will eventually be used have been entered yet, so please excuse the untidiness of it all) and the choices are likely to change based on input from my colleagues, so I need to understand how the VBA works in order to alter it accordingly, but I don’t want to put any more work into this (it’s still in the early stages) if it isn’t possible to achieve these needs.
Is it possible to lock the computer using VBA. i.e Simulate pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete and then clicking Lock Computer so once this has been clicked the user will have to enter the password to unlock. I thought that using the SendKeys would be a start but this does nothing.
SendKeys "^%{DELETE}"
DoEvents
I'm trying to write a vba code that does the following....
There is a question in column A to which the user chooses yes or no from column B. Based on the response in column B, I'd like the same row column D to be formatted so that if the anser is yes, the cell is white, and unlocked. If the response is no, the cell is cleared, locked and the greyed out. (e.g. if B4 is "Yes", the format in D4 will change) So far I've come up with the following which formats the colour:
Dim response As Range
For Each response In Range("$C$10:$C$73")
If response.Value = "Yes" Then
response.Select
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).Range("A1").Select
With Selection.Interior

How to add in a .clearcontents function, so that the contents are cleared if the response is not "yes", and also what I would need to add to unlock the cell in column D?

So if we take first line the defect id is 10. The date entered is 21-08-2007 and the status is 1-NY ( means new)
NExt line the defect ID is still 10 the date is changed to 22-08-2007 and the previous status is was 1-Ny and the new status is 03- under vurdering (to be
evalueted)
Third line the defect ID is still 10. The date is changed to 04-01-2008. The previous status was 03- Under vurdering ( to be evalueted). The new status is 10-lukket.
I want to be able to track the time from 1-NY to 10-Lukket.
Now the even more tricky part. As you can see other defects go over different statuses e.g defect number 1000 here.

I have a data with phone number, date and time.I want to track how many number of calls came on a particular date and during a particular time. formula which would work in excel and track the same.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI can't figure out how to do a proper formula for calculating time. For instance I have one column that says "Time In", the next is "Time Out" and the other is "Lunch Time". My calculation needs to be this:
Find the total hours between the Time In and Time Out and then Minus the lunch time to get total hours worked for the day. The only way I can get this to work is using 24 Hour time format. Is there another way?
My team and I are attempting to track how much time we are spending in each Excel workbook we create (all workbooks are created from a single template). The problem is that we are often jumping back and forth between different workbooks throughout the day so manual entry methods are neither accurate or practical. Is there a way, with macros or formulas, to embed a time tracker in the template workbook that would only record active (when workbook is selected) time in the workbook?

I'd like to be able to unlock the whole of a workbook by putting the password into a specific cell and then the whole thing locks again when it is saved. I have been able to find the coding to do this for a worksheet but I'd really like to be able to unlock the whole project.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI've got a spreadsheet set up for a simple barcode scanning system. The user scans the barcode of the product when complete, and it logs it to a sheet along with a date & time timestamp. I'm then planning to use a v-lookup (barcode to product name) & pivot-table to count instances of 'product name' so that I can monitor what is being produced easier, nothing too tricky.
The problem I'm having comes from the products of the same spec having the same barcode, so data validation is hard to apply, as I can't 'not allow dupes' - the concern I have is that if the user unknowingly (or knowingly!) scans the same ticket twice, I think I've got 2 of a product when I've only got one. The idea I had was to lock all cells for a set time period (say 1 minute) after an entry so that it couldn't be accidentally scanned twice.
I have a time tracking sheet. In Column C and Column D there is a start time and end time respectively where my team people will enter the current time accordingly.
I would like to lock the cell once they enter the time but the entire sheet should not lock. Only the Column C and D should lock upon people enter the time. Basically, once user enter the time, they should not be able to change it.
If I wanted to use excel to track inventory in/out, is there any way I can do the following?
I have a barcode scanner and I wanted to be able to quickly add and subtract quantities.
So, I want to create three fields at the top of list, one with the function to Add 1 to quantity, one to Subtract 1, and one simply to find (well I guess I can use excels find feature, but that would be an extra step)
When I scan a barcode into the "Add 1 to quantity" field (which only appears at the top of the page), excel will automatically add 1 to the corresponding field next to the item that has that UPC number. The same for Subtracting 1.
I have created a time sheet and I would like to know if there is a way to auto-lock cells after time is entered so that it cannot be changed. As of right now I have employees enter the time by using Shift+Ctrl+;, so the exact time is recorded, however employees can write in whatever time they want. so I guess what I want to do is 2 things:
1- can the cell be formatted to only accept Shift+Ctrl+;, so that the exact time is entered in the cell and prevent employees from entering times they were not at work?
and
2- can the cell auto-lock after Shift+Ctrl+; is entered so that they can't modify the time sheet the next day if they arrived earlier than the day before?
