I have a worksheet, i want to lock the data entered in a cell of a particular column . e.g. if i will enter the data in A2, A2 should be locked, when user enter data in cell A3, A3 should be locked. I want this code to apply on multiple columns (A,C,E,G).
View 3 Replies0: i have a sheet 1 protected and few edit range (Col A,B,C,D,E and F).
1: I have a validation on multiple adjacent columns (like Col A, Col C, Col E).
2: I need a code where if i select value in col a (cell A2) cell B2 should get current date and Time and both the cells (A2 and B2) should be locked. when i select data in cell C2 , D2 should get current date and time(Cell C2 and D2 should be protected).
3: User can enter data in A3 and B3 will get current date and Time (now A3 and B3) should be locked.
4: I need a function where user can call it and unlock the locked cells and edit the data and re-lock the cells again.
apart from the Col A,B,C,D,E and F, other columns and cells remain locked.
I have an excel sheet which has a macro which captures the current time in a cell with the formula =now(). What I am looking for is that once a user runs a macro and the time is inserted into that cell then that cell should be locked and cannot be changed then. If this can be done by any formula / function or VBA.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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?
I am trying to write a small bit of VBA code, so that I can record the row and column of the active cell. I have got it working when I CHANGE the value of the cell, but I need to get the code to fire off when I ENTER the cell.
The code section is below:-
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal target As Range)
'Store the row and column into G1 and G2 for the drop down loading
Call RowNum(target)
End Sub
[Code]....
how I can do this, as I cannot find reference to a Worksheet_Enter function ?
Earlier this morning I had a telephone call from a customer who uses a spreadsheet I created.
She explained that once she'd entered information into a cell [and clicked elsewhere] she couldn't then add to the former; rather, she had to click on the cell and type it all out again.
I assumed that, as an inexperienced excel user, she was unware of either double-clicking the cell, or selecting and pressing F2. I explained these methods to her.
She later emailed me with this:
"Further to our phone conv this morning I have just tried double-clicking on cells but it deletes everything in the cell rather than lets you edit what is there – F2 does the same thing. This applies to any cell, whether it is text, date or number."
I've been using excel for a while now, and I've never come across such a thing before.
Has anyone else? Could it be to do with her own excel settings? (other customers have had no such problem)

I have created a form where a date and remark is added every few days. I am using Phone Number as the base of VLookup. I want a code so that the date and remark which is entered in a Text Box, is stored in the first available blank cell pertaining to that employee. I want the first date and remark to be under "Date 1" and "Remark 1".
Thereafter, if another remark is subsequently added for that employee, the form would ask to enter his phone number to identify which employee the remark pertains to. Then the Text Box where remark is entered should be stored under "Remark 1" if there has been no remark before, "Remark 2" if "Remark 1" already exists, "Remark 3" if "Remark 2" already exists and so on.
I do not want to enter it in a new row. I want to enter the remark in the next blank cell of the row which matches the employee Phone Number.

I have a number of worksheets and need to move data from the same cells of each work sheet to a summary worksheet. I manually entered the cell id's for the first sheet.
Example =Jan!M6, =Jan!N7, =Jan!O9 etc.

View 3 Replies View RelatedCurrently have a column of cells that after the data has been entered we would like the cell to lock to prevent changes. The sheet is currently protected with the cells in question unlocked (D173:D250). We would like to be able to change the data if we unprotect the sheet. We would also like to be able to add/delete cells (list) in the code as needed.
View 9 Replies View RelatedWhat I'm trying to achieve is to be able to lock the text length of a column so that users can enter text data into that column but not exceed the allowable length for our purposes. I've found a way to use auto loading macros to make a popup if they exceed the set length.
However, that is useless for our purposes because 1) pasting data into the cells as opposed to manually entering data overrides the validation just as it does when you set it with the data validation menus, 2) it requires that macros be activated in the end user's computer which we cannot guarantee will happen. If you lock in the data validation by protecting the worksheet, the end user can't enter data. Do you know of a way to lock in the data validation without using active controls like macros, and yet allow the end user to enter data into the cells. (Perhaps a solution would be to somehow prevent the pasting of data into a cell forcing the data validation to be utilized?)

I have a mainworkbook for users that has the VBA coding protected (it contains passwords to unlock protected sheets / main workbook). In my program, the users will be entering data and then push a button which calls a macro to email a "skinny down version" of the main book to other users. Problem is, these users that receive the email will be able to get into the VBA code and see what the password is on the sheets. (even if the new workbook/worksheets are password protected) Is there any way when I save the new book to add this protection to the VBA code?
I am writing a module which have a different test based on for each of the previous 2 column cells.

I am trying to lock cells after today's date has passed so that no one can make changes to it after today's date has lapsed. This is for protective reasons so that people do not remove their names from reserving something after using it. Now the code should disallow locking after cell input entry when today's date hasn't passed so that changes can still be made by the user. I am trying to determine the code to do this but I have no idea as to how to do it.
Here's a scenario: I reserve something for Aprill 11, 2009. I input my name. Since it's April 9th, 2009, I am still able to make changes up and until April 11, 2009. After this date, the cell is locked and no changes can be made, except for the administrator.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have two files which are attached.
One is the main report file "ops report.xls" and other is the raw file (Air.xlsx) from which data is to be added to this file. i manually take the data and enter it into the ops report everyday. This i want to automate as there are many such sheets to be completed (i have mentioned just "Air" sheet here in ops report).
Now what exactly i want to do is?
take data from Air.xlsx workbook as per the columns in the Air sheet in Ops report and paste it on that particular date row. this i will have to do everyday so the nest day the data will be pasted on next row against the date. The yellow columns which i have marked have formula so you need not touch that columns.
I nee to paste the average of Air sales and Air service. so we have to take average of row 43 and row 89 for first two columns in ops report. and then average of row 44 and row 90 for column L,N,O,P,Q in the ops report.
Afterwards the average of column J must be pasted in "Interval" sheet in ops report.
This is a bit tough but i know there are many genius people out there who can easily solve this.

I have a basic script in VBA set up to enter standard information (street address in one block and city in another) on a website that has no fees or password requirements. If I step through the code using F8, this works great and the website returns the data for the address that was input from my excel sheet. However, when I assign this same macro to a control button on the excel sheet to get the code to run automatically, the website comes up to the default screen with nothing entered in either of the blanks. Again, when I just step through this, I get all the way to the output page on the website with the resulting data from my input data. For some reason, this does not happen using the same code connected to a button for automation purposes.
