Macro That Will Clear Contents Of Cell Based On Format Of Text In Adjacent Cell
Feb 18, 2009Been racking brain, searching through the forum here, and my Excel 2003 Bible all day trying to figure out this problem to no avail. I would like to clear the contents of any cell in a given range if the cell immediately to the right of is formatted as bold.

View 3 Replies View RelatedExcel 2011 :: Macro To Clear And Lock Cell
Jan 30, 2012I'm using Excel 2011 for MAC.
What I need is to clear and lock some cells based on a drop down list selection.
The case is like this:
In Cell [E14] is a drop down list : 0,1,2 or 3
Cells: (D19:E19), (D21:E21), (D23,E23) Merged are PART DESCRIPTION
Cells: [G19], [G21], [G23] are COST
So I need when 0 is selected in the dropdown list, all of the above cells are cleared and no input is permitted, Cells locked.
If 1 is selected, just the first row is allowed for data entry and the other 2 are cleared and locked as this values populate another worksheet for calculations.
So far I did this code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If [E14] = "0" Then
ActiveSheet.Unprotect ("")
ActiveSheet.Range("D19:E19").Locked = True
ActiveSheet.Range("G19").Locked = True
ActiveSheet.Range("D21:E21").Locked = True
ActiveSheet.Range("G21").Locked = True
ActiveSheet.Range("D23:E23").Locked = True
[code]...
It works fine to lock the cells, but I can not fined the way to clear the values previously stored before locking the cells.
Macro To Clear Contents Of Cells When One Cell Equals To 0 %
Oct 8, 2013I'm trying to create macro that will clear the contents of the cells in the 4 columns to the left of a cell that = 0 %, as well as the cell that = 0%. For example, if cell F13 = 0 % then the contents of B13:F13 would need to be cleared. The range in which data is being pasted into is B13:F27.

Aug 15, 2014I'm having a problem with a macro clearing a formula in a cell. I have the same type of cell that doesn't have the problem but I can't find the difference between the 2 cells or difference in vb that's making it happen. I have to intentionally cause this to happen but don't see why it's happening. Do I need to attach workbook and describe what's happening? I have been copying and pasting from different sources as well as paying to have it created/started but it was expensive(for me) and I make nothing off of it, just use it at work. I am not proficient in Excel or vb but I'm desperately trying to learn as I go so as not to fork out a few hundred dollars again.
here's atleast the vb for the macros:

VB/Macro Protection
Oct 8, 2008I know how to protect VB code (e.g. Protection tab of VBAProjectProperties), however I would like to know how to embed code to stop the user from accessing the Macro (via Run Macro).
I understand you can do this by adding "Private" to the subroutine, however, is there some code I could add into a macro/connecting to a button, that would enable the user to protect the sheet (without needing to manually type private within the Module subroutine)?

Feb 26, 2007My macros are set up with hard-coded passwords to protect and unprotect the sheets where they run.
But I need a way for the macros to refer to a user-provided password without having the user edit the macos themselves. The simplist approach (I suppose) would be to have a worksheet for this with a cell for the user to enter the password he/she wants. The macro protect/unprotect code would then look at the cell to get the password.
Sheet Protection Causes Macro Error
Jun 29, 2007I've been using the attached spreadsheet to record daily sales for a while now, however, we've recently intorduced a new product and so I've had to add a new column to record daily sales of it.
On the spreadsheet is a 'New Week' button. Pressing this deletes all entries and moves the week numbers on by 1, so giving me a blank template each week. However, after the addition of the new column I'm now getting a bug error message. I've adjusted the code to take account of the new column but I'm still getting a bug error. When I press 'debug' it's highlighting something I have changed so I'm a little confused why I'm getting the bug error. Would someone have a look for me. I only seem to get the bug when there is protection on the sheet, I need protection. The password is PHUKET38
Macro Protection Using Information From External File?
Jun 21, 2014I was wondering if it is possible to protect a macro to be used only if a *.txt (for example) file wit some certain text is available. like a key to run hidden in a text. The file is situated in a company network, and i want to protect it from taking the file out of the company. I can do it to check for presence of a file - if the file is not available - the macro exits. but if someone break the password that is protecting the code will see the blocking point immediately. this is why i want to use a key....
View 9 Replies View RelatedMacro For Unchecking Protection Properties While Protected
Dec 4, 2006While my excel file is protected, I want to have a functionality that allows user to modify on certain areas (of the file), such as below:
1. After the user select number of years at the drop-down list (Main sheet), rows and columns at other related sheets will shift and hide certain values which corresponded from the drop-down list (e.g. if user selects 3 years, then at other sheets, rows from year 1 till 3 will be displayed, and rows for year 4 and year 5 will be hidden).
2. Users can add rows for entering new data at a new line and delete rows for deleting data at the correspond line.
This PC is using the Excel version 2000. At Tools > Protection > Protect Sheet, the available options are 'Content's, 'Objects' and 'Scenarios'. In order to allow users modifying rows/columns (while the file is protected), options such as 'Format Rows' and 'Format Columns' must be checked. But these options are only available in the later versions I believed.
After I have done macro recording for the protection properties at Excel version 2003 (my sister's PC), this is what I got for the .....
Event Macro Causes Sheet Protection Prompts
Jan 26, 2007One of the things it does throughout the course of the run is unprotect the worksheet, do what it needs to and then reprotects the sheet (using a password). On the second run, the sheet protection input box is shown and I am required to input the password before the code will execute.
The code that I have written uses an Add-in that pulls data from a database. As part of that retrieval, the other add-in protects the sheet without a password. Would that be causing my error?

Macro To File Values & Formats, & Alter Protection
Dec 24, 2008I have a sheet used to process sales orders - about 500 orders per month x ~1.5Mb each. I want to save them as smaller files.
The sheets to save are full of vlookups linked to external sheets and tabs, other formulas, and macros - most of which do not need saving when the sales order is filed. There are lots of merged cells too.
I must save:
1. Cell values
2. Cell formats incl merged cells, borders, colour, font etc.
3. The row and column sizes
4. Print set ups - print area, margins, page setup, header footer etc - (Everything needed to reprint to same as original)
I think I need a "File save as" style Macro which opens a dialogue box for the user to nominate the destination folder (& allows the user to browse for it), and a new file name.
The original file name is "Job Sheet - Omlaw.xls"
The tab/sheet to save is "Front Sheet"
(There are two other tabs - neither of which need saving.)
All cells to be changed to "locked".
The sheet must be password protected in Excel. User to enter it - or not.
The saved file should be "write protected" if possible?

Formula Protection For Cell Entry
Feb 11, 2004I'm trying to set a cell so that it has a certain value based on other cell(s) information. I can put a formula into the cell to do that, but I also want to make the cell available for user input, preserving the formula should the user change their mind and delete their input.

View 4 Replies View RelatedPrevent Deletion Of A Cell With No Cell Protection
Oct 29, 2008I have a worksheet with multiple entry boxes in a row. Depending on the value in one row, another row will either yield the result from a formula, or remain blank, and this cell needs to be locked. I was able to do this by first putting the formula into the destination cell, and then using custom data validation that says the cell value = "". So this prevents anyone from typing in that cell, no matter if it yields the formula result or must stay blank. What it doesn't protect against is someone deleting the contents of the cell. The reason I don't want to protect the cell is because I want people to be able to highlight the whole row past that cell and delete it all at once. So either using Data Validation, a formula, or VB programming I need to not allow someone to do ANYTHING to that cell, even delete the contents, without locking the cell. Hopefully it can be done, thanks!
For example, if E17 = "X", then K17 = INPUT!$M$28*J17. If E17 <> "X" then K17 is blank. Either way, I don't want any typing or deleting of K17. This applies for range K17:K91, and corresponding E17:E91.
