Automatically Generate Passwords For Multiple Sheets
Feb 20, 2014
I have a workbook in which users record the time spent on various activities. I have some code which will copy the worksheet template and create a worksheet for each user (in a defined list of names). Then each worksheet needs to be password protected so only the user can see it (I can do this individually by manually writing in each sheet name and setting a password but will have 80+ users for some groups and it will take ages...)
What I would like to be able to do is also automatically generate a password for each user (combining a word and automatic number e.g. "EMidsTeam123") it may be possible to insert this into the code I already have (which I have copied )...
VB:
Private Sub Workbook_SheetActivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
Dim strPass As String
Dim lCount As Long
If Sh.CodeName <> "Sheet1" Then
'Set sLast variable to the last active sheet This is then used to return the user to the last sheet they were
I have a list of e-mail addresses stored in an Excel file (column A). I need to generate some passwords basing on these e-mail addresses which would then be automatically stored in the same row as the passwords, only this time in column B. The passwords could be numbers based on some text to number conversion (which I could additionally add some mathematical operation to, to make the password harder to crack). The passwods would then be distributed among the owners of these e-mail addresses.
I need some code that will generate passwords from a combination of a master password and other words such as a user name. I have seen references to use of the MD5 algorithm but would not know if or how this could be incorporated into vba. This would be used in an workbook which is distributed to different users. In order to use the workbook, they would need to enter their user name and password. The macro would check if these were correct or not. Because the password is generated by the macro, it avoids having to have them hidden in the workbook somewhere.
I've been using excel sheets to create reports for clients based on various sized samples of bars (I'm a test engineer). The sheets are essentially the same format though information will vary (such as bar type, diameter, etc.) I've been working on automating these sheets so that I don't need so many template-like tabs (currently I have a workbook for each client setup with 5-20 different sheets just in case the client sends in those bars! Half of the sheets stay blank and it can be confusing/cluttered).
Here's what I want to do: Have one page or popup window where I can input the information (job number, bar size, bar type, etc.) press the magic button and have it spit out a new sheet with that info added into the template. Is this doable?? I've never used macros before but I'm assuming I'll need to, which is fine, how that works.
My workbook contains a number of worksheets - currently nine. Each worksheet details a specific "business unit" for the company I work for. Using VB, is it possible for Excel to request a password upon opening the workbook? If so, the specific password input would determine the specific worksheet(s) that are available for viewing.
I have recorded a macro and added this to a button on the document. I was wondering if it will be possible that each user who works on the document can use a specific password to unlock cells and autolock once document is saved. I have a seperate document that has the users and their specific passwords on.
The problem - there are multiple users, each one has its own excel file, but it has to be password protected. I assume there is a simple VBA script or something. I found something here - User name and password to open excel file . I guess I don't need it to be that complicated. I haven't gotten it to work yet, so I can't tell if it's what I need.
Also there is an Admin or whatever that has to view all of the users excel files in one excel file. Is this even possible?
how to create user logins and passwords for five users for one workbook. Also, preferrably to have a message to prompt for entering the user name and password at the first worksheet (e.g. the main page where there it is usually the company logo page) when the workbook is open.
E.g. there are five employees and we would like to create five different logins and passwords for them. So when they open the workbook, it would be the first sheet of the workbook to appear first and they would then be prompt to enter their username and password. If one of the employees leave the company, we can still quite easily change the name to the new employee.
I'll be as succinct as I can, and I'm sorry if this question has been answered already. I've had a look at past posts and can't seem to find anything.
My service has an Excel workbook of patient details. These details are separated across three sheets called 'Generic', 'Heart Failure' and 'Falls and Fracture Management'.
The columns in each sheet are the same. Every month I produce a single report of data from columns A, B, L, Q and R in each sheet.
I've been doing this by copying/pasting each of those columns from 'Generic' individually into a new sheet, then putting the same data from 'Heart Failure' underneath, etc., then manually deleting all rows that contain a blank in any cell.
Is it possible that VBA code can be written to do this? I don't know anything about codes; I know I could achieve the same effect with linking, but it seems that this would be unreliable.
I would like to make my stock sheet able to copy entres to another sheet within the same work book. (avoiding using VB as I can't do that)
If data is entered in sheet2, it is automatically copied onto sheet1.
The reason is that each storage device will have its own sheet and all entries will automatically be copied to the master sheet. This will make things easy for the people who need to use this system for updating and seaching it.
I have seen a similare problem that seems much more complex here @ Copy Data From Multiple Closed Spreadsheets
I have an excel file with three worksheets in it. I can happily protect each sheet with a different password but what i want to be able to do is the following:
a. have a global administrator password for all the sheets - so i assume set the same password to protect the whole sheet b. have individual passwords that only allow the user to insert rows and change data within restricted columns, i.e. can only edit columns A:Z and cannot manipulate any formulas within that range A:Z
I have a spreadsheet that contains many lines of information that will constantly be added to and updated. One of the columns contains a drop down with 4 possible options. I am trying to get the data to copy to a sheet based on 1 of the 4 options selected. So for example, if Education is selected, then that row of data should also appear in the Education sheet. Same goes if one of the other options is selected.
I have seen several examples on this forum, but they are mostly macros (or formulas that don't quite apply). I am trying to use formulas so that the information is updated live so macros don't really seem to be a viable option.
I am including a sample of the spreadsheet with data on the main sheet and how I want it to look when it is transferred over to the other sheets. I had to substitute a lot of the information (with numbers or filler words) due to it being confidential.
I have a time tracker that provides hours that employees clock in and out. It provides me with an excel document with all the employees time every two weeks as needed, however it does not total the hours from all previous spread sheets so that I can have a YTD (year to date) total of the employees hours worked and I need to be able to have this. Currently I am going through each and every spreadsheet and totalling them up. I have over 40 employees and this has become very time consuming to say the least.
I currently have an excel work book with multiple sheets per year. What I want to happen is that whenever I input data in one of the Year sheets, it will automatically go to the Master sheet.
A1, B1, C1, D1, E1, I1, J1 & D3 all linked to L1 thru S1 perspectively But when I copy the highted box and paste it, A4 automatically link to L4, as well as other fields. create a macro where excel automatically generate the link A1 = L1, A4 = L2, A7 = L3 and other fields perspectively all the way til the end?
In column A on sheet1 I have a list of unique numbers . On sheet2 I have a list of unique numbers that are available. I am currently using this formula,
to look at sheet2 and tell me what number is next after I copy it to sheet1. My problem is how do I automatically generate the next number onto sheet1(by double clicking) and have that number removed from sheet2?
I have a excel file which contains Regions Cities and Suburbs in a single sheet. What I need is Regions, cities and suburbs in seperate sheets. Also each must have (except for Region) a unique ID (starting from 1) Name and then the ParentID. Example:
RegionID Region - for region CityID City RegionID - for City SuburbID Suburb CityID - for suburbs.
I have attached a sample file for your consideration.
For non-blank cells in the range C11:C65536, I want to have a hyperlink automatically generated (in the same cell), using the cell value as a relative variable in the link itself. One intended use for this is to populate the range with stock symbols, and have it generate hyperlinks to the following address:
I have a marketing calendar that I need to update just about daily with new promotional plans because the dates change very often and there are a lot of markets that we are keeping track of. Because the format of the excel is basically a bunch of merged cells to show the range of dates of a particular promotion, it takes a very long time to unmerge and remerge everything when one date changes.
I have an example of what the graph looks like below, as well as a grid of what I would like to use to generate this graph automatically using the start and end dates so thats all you need to change. If you changed the start dates, the market name, or the promo name, the chart would reflect the updates.
I have a big Excel file with 20+ sheets. All these sheets have different margins and layouts.
I need to generate a Single PDF with all these sheets. Is it possible?
When I save the file as PDF, it converts only the current sheet and NOT the whole file. As I said all my sheets have different margins and layouts, I can not combine them into a single sheet.
I currently have a large spreadsheet that multiple people fill out. Each person fills out all the information in a row. At the end of the row, I would like a button that says "Generate Form" so that when clicked, a new sheet automatically opens with a template form that I created and is already filled out with the information that was just inputted into the spreadsheet. Also, there are four different template forms that could generate. For example, there are forms A, B, C and D. If the user inputs "B" into the first column of the row, then when he goes to click "Generate Form", a new sheet is created with all the information filled out in Form B.
I am using the following piece of VBA code in Excel 2007 to automatically generate an email when a button is pushed:
Sub SendEMail() Dim Email As String, Subj As String Dim Msg As String, URL As String Dim r As Integer, x As Double r = ActiveCell.Row 'Get the email address Email = Cells(r, 3)
[Code] .....
The button to launch this code sits in cell AK7. What I would like to do is have the macro copy the email address present in cell E7 into the email address section of my created email. In addition I would like the reference provided in cell AJ7 to appear in the Message Subject part of the generated email in the format " RCS Reference contents of cell AJ7".
I have a long list that is geneerated each week and I need to split them based on their category acrross a number of sheets all named by the category. These sheets don't exist at the beginning.
My list would be like:
Col A Col B UK Dave UK Bill UK Ann US Bob AUS Sheila AUS Bruce
I want to run a macro down the list and build sheets for each unique ColA ie UK, US and AUS and then copy the ColB values into the correct sheets so UK has Dave, Bill and Ann in colA of the sheet named UK. anyone have an example of this type of process.
i want to generate sheet automatically from existing sheet applying auto filter on specific column. i attached the sample which 3000 rows actually i have more than one lac rows so i have to put filter on sub_div column and then copy and paste to another sheet and give the name of sheet like F21. i want to do automatically this provide vba code or function for this
I have difficulty to generate sheets on the Status of Equipment from the master sheet. I need to manage the maintenance and diagnostics of a plant, and I have a whole list of equipment, thus when any of those goes faulty, I want to enter the word "Fault" in Column G, Then It must automatically generate the Template for that tag, and name the sheet same as the Tag.
I have added an Attachment : Template for MnD_ExpertQ.xlsx
