Adding Comments To A Protected Worksheet

Jan 20, 2010

I have (several) worksheets that have protection enabled. I have unlocked all the cells that users need access to and locked all the column and row headers/labels.
When I enabled protection on the sheets, the ability to add comments was taken away.
Is there a way to add comments to an UNLOCKED cell in a PROTECTED worksheet?

Allow Adding New Row To A Table When Worksheet Protected

Feb 10, 2014

I have A TABLE (Named Table1) and some columns filled by formula. (Like E,F,G,H columns) When I protect the worksheet E,F,G,H columns are locked, but A,B,C,D columns are UNLOCKED. When is sheet PROTECTED , If I add a row bottom of Table1, does NOT automatically fill the E,F,G,H columns and Table1 range does not expanding. But, if UNPROTECTED, it's OK. when add a row bottom of Table1, automatically fill all columns with formula and table range is expanding aotomatically with new row.

When sheet is PROTECTED , How can I allow, to add a row and aouto fill all columns like unprotected.

And I want to protect sheet in any case, after allowing to add row.

I need a macro code to do this.

Adding Data To Protected Worksheet

I was hoping to force end users to use a user form to input data into a work sheet. The problem is that the form wont input the data when the sheet is protected.

Adding Comments And Formats

Feb 20, 2009

I have slight problem with an OnChange Event by Target.

I am looking to be able to change a cell value from one to another, create a comment block that says "person B for person A" , change the color and be done.

If the cell is empty then the code should exit the sub (not working). If the cell has already been change once then I want the comment box to show a second line of who changed what.

What I tried in the comment box, thinking it would keep the value:

Adding Comments To Row / Column

Mar 8, 2012

I have the following code which deletes the specified value from each cell in column B that contains that value, (note it only deletes the value from that column and not all in the row).

Code:
Sub delete1()
Dim lr As Long, i As Long
With Sheets("Database")
lr = .Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For i = lr To 2 Step -1
If .Range("B" & i).Value = 1 Then .Range("B" & i).ClearContents
Next i
End With
End Sub

Now what I need is to adapt it slightly so that it also adds a comment to the cell in Column I and the current date in Column L, (on each row where the deleted value was).

The comment would be something like "old data archived" and the date in any format, preferably dd/mm/yyyy.

Adding Comments To A Range

Apr 27, 2007

I need to identify any cells in a range that do not contain text then colour and comment them. I intended to use the following code, however it doesn't work as I expected it to.

With rRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks)
If .Count > 0 Then
.Interior.ColorIndex = zErrorColour
.AddComment "This cell must contain a value"
End If
End With

The blanks cells are coloured OK but only the first blank cell gets a comment. Is there a reason why I can't add comments to all the cells in the range? And if there is a good reason, then I guess I'm going to have to write a loop to add the comments.

Adding Comments To Cells Via Macro

Oct 8, 2009

When adding a comment I check for an existing comment, if exist then delete and add new comment and some text in that cell. This works as long as the cell has an existing comment; other wise it advances to the "Else" where I thought I would be entering a comment and text in an empty cell. Why does my macro treat an empty cell as if it has a comment?

Excel 2007 :: Picture Created With Unique Names - Adding Comments To Cell

Oct 23, 2012

Excel 2007

I have a few dozen pictures created when a macro runs. They all have unique names. I'd like to add comments to cells, where the cell.value decides which picture to pull. All the examples I've found online show how to do this if you have pictures saved on your hard drive by referencing the file path "c://mydocs/...blahblah/"

Is there a way to reference the pictures I've created/named with my macro?

Here's the snippet of code that creates the pictures and names them:

Code:
For i = 2 To Application.CountA(Sheets("Allocation").Rows(1))
Sheets("Allocation").Activate
Set rInput = Sheets("Allocation").Range(Cells(1, i), Cells(10, i))
sPicName = "_" & Sheets("Allocation").Cells(1, i) & "_"
sSheet = Sheets("Allocation").Cells(3, i)
dDate = Sheets("Allocation").Cells(5, i)

[Code] ......

Here are some examples that are close to what I'm looking for.

Adding Blank Row In Data Table Without Disturbing Protected Formulas

Mar 16, 2012

I have a table of data 300 rows long with protected formulas in adjacent columns and at the bottom of the column. Some of the data cells are blank but the non-blank cells are contiguous and start at the top of the range (see Before Example).

a macro that would allow users to insert a blank cell at any point in the data table without losing any of the other data or disrupting the formulas. In other words I want to move all the data from that point to the bottom of the range down by 1 row. A before and after example for a smaller 10 row data set is shown below.

Before

AB1data aformula 12data bformula 23data cformula 34data dformula 45data eformula 56data fformula 67 formula 78 formula 89 formula 910 formula 1011formula Aformula B

After

Add A Worksheet To An Existing Spreadsheet Which Has VBA Behind It, But The Worksheet Is Password Protected

Aug 23, 2006

One of my work colleagues need to add a worksheet to an existing Excel Spreadsheet which has VBA behind it, but the worksheet is password protected. The developer who wrote the application has now left, so we have no idea what the password is. Is there anyway of getting round it, like cracking into the spreadsheet to find out the password, or another way?

Cannot Remove Comments In Worksheet

Nov 6, 2008

I have a workbook that I received from a vendor that when I click in a cell a comment appears. There is no line or comment indicator for each comment. So I went into the tools - options - views - comments section and chose no comments. The comments still appear and when I go to the tool bar - view - comments nothing appears. I checked for any VBA code and didn't see anything. I was able to get around this problem by copy/paste special into a new worksheet, but curiosity is killing this cat.

Worksheet Change Removes Comments

May 11, 2007

I have an inventory sheet in which I am trying to accomplish two things:

1. Have comments pop-up when certain cells are selected that will explain to the user what kind of information he should enter. (So far, I have been able to make this work.)
2. When the user begins to enter information into the first of the aforementioned cells, a worksheet change event will automatically select the next cell for him, so that he will be immediately ready to enter information into it. That is, the worksheet will automatically "tab" over to the next relevant cell. (I'm having problems with this part.)

All in all, for each product on the inventory list, there are three cells that the user must enter information into.

Step 1: The ending inventory amount (the amount of product on hand).
Step 2: The user's initials.
Step 3: The time that the user physically counted the inventory.

(Then, when step three is done, the worksheet automatically tabs to STEP ONE ON THE NEXT ITEM. That is where I am failing miserably, although that is not the only place. . . . Keep reading.)

Here is my problem. I am not able to have my cake and eat it too. The comments are popping up beautifully, at the right time in the right way. However, when I enter the appropriate lines of code to make the worksheet change "tab" over the next cell, problems occur: the comments that provide instructions to the user do not stay visible. They flash for a split second, and then disappear. I am attaching a sample so you can see what I mean (and then I'm heading off to lunch with the boss, so it will be while before I can respond). The lines of code that I would like to have working are currently "commented out."

Is There A Method To Globally Delete/remove All Comments From A Worksheet?

May 19, 2006

I'm attempt to automatically validate QTP spreadsheets with an EXCEL VBA macro. All is going well but I now want to look smarter. Is there a method to globally remove all comments from a worksheet?: D What I actually want to do is add comments to cells which fail validation but some of these cells may already contain comments. If they do contain comments then I want to overwrite with my comments. I thought the easiest way would be to delete all comments at the start of macro but I am all ears to any other approach.

Adding Comments To Textbox And Having Textbox Keep Updating

Apr 3, 2014

I have a form that has three fields (1. Comments (TEXT), 2. Legacy_Comments (TEXT), 3, Comment date (DATE))

Now my users need to keep adding comments to the comment text box, and when they do it automatically adds the date they entered the comment in the Comment date box. Now my problem is that since they keep adding comments to the comment box, I need to keep track of these comments in the Legacy_Comments (Text box).

For example, the First time a user enters a comment into the (1) comment text box it auto populates the date in the comment date box, and then adds the comment and date to the Legacy_Comment box. the end result is (comment,4/3/2014 now lets say a user needs to add a comment to the comments box tomorrow - I want the legacy_Comment box to then read (comment, 4/3/2014; comment2, 4/4/2014, ...., comment(n),date(n)) OR it can be vice-verse, because I just need to keep track of the comments, I am not worried if the new comments are before or after older (yesterdays / the day before yesterdays comments)

How can I write a VBA code that will always add the new comment to the legacy_comment field, without deleting the comments that were entered previously?

Code:
If isnull(me.comment.value) Then
Exit Sub
ElseIf me.comment.value = true Then
me.comment_date.value = date
me.legacy_comment.value = me.comment.value & "," & me.comment_date.value & ";"
me.legacy_comment.value = me.legacy_comment.value & "," & me.comment_date.value & ";"

It adds the comment only the first time, but it does not concatenate the string from yesterday to the string to today. I do not care which order the comments are, meaning if I added a comment today it can be before OR after the comment from yesterday.

Refreshing Protected Worksheet

Jan 5, 2013

I have this workbook to keep track of current and new work for the team - each individual inputs information on their own tab.

In turn, the current information is displayed on a summary page so we can all see who's doing what.

I want to protect that summary page and its formulas from accidental amendment.

However, while the summary page (when unprotected) updates as soon as someone enters new information on their own tab, the summary page won't update when I have it protected.

Is there any way of doing this - preferably without VBA as it's a work situation and the employer doesn't like VBA code running?

Combo Box On Protected Worksheet

Hidden Rows In Protected Worksheet?

Jul 21, 2014

I was able to create a macro that allows a user to unhide rows in a protected worksheet without unprotecting the other locked fields (see below). My question is: I want to add to this command so that 1 row can not be "unhidden" if the previous row is still hidden. For example, row 25 can not be unhidden if row 24 is still hidden.

Macro command used:

Private Sub Commandbutton4_Click()
Sub Hide_Rows2h()
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="xxx"
Rows("25").Hidden = Not Rows("25").Hidden
ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="xxx"
