Find Hidden Data In Worksheet
Jul 6, 2006
Excel 2003. Windows XP Professional. Bank reconciliations. How is it possible in an unprotected worksheet to hide additional data input in formulas so that visible invalid numbers produce accurate results? Displaying hidden formulas in formula bar reveals nothing. Blank cells have been included in formula, but searches for hidden numbers and links in these cells produced nothing. I'm at my wit's end to correct this misuse of Excel in my office.

I'm trying to access/read data from a hidden WorkSheet in Excel 2003 using:
Application.Worksheets("Hidden Sheet").Activate
With ActiveSheet
**** Data ****
End With
The accessed **** Data **** refers to another ('unhidden') WorkSheet. How can I read the data without making the WorkSheet visible to the User?

Attempting to hide columns (of cities) via VBA generates an error when that same city is reselected (either individually, or as part of the group) in the list box, upon clicking the 'Hide' button.
The error happens at this point: ...

I have created an excel worksheet that will provide budgeting and estimating tools for my project managers. All data used to be manual entry and took a good while to complete. I am trying to automate the process with VBA.
I created a UserForm called InfoVerify1. On that form I have TextBox 1 - 10. When the UF opens, the boxes display project information from my worksheet called "Basis of Estimate", also known as Sheet26.
The TextBox1 ControlSource is set to "E4". When I run the macro with Sheet26 active, the proper information fills in. However, when I am on the Start page or any other worksheet and I run the macro, it tries to fill in the text boxes with E4, etc, from the active sheet. I tried changing the ControlSource to "Sheet26,E4" or any combo thereof with only error messages.
how to get it to refer to a cell on a particular worksheet and hold to that worksheet no matter which sheet I am on at the time I run the Userform?

I have got an Excel sheet . When I opened the file the first time I saw a macro, but then I clicked on some other sheets in the VBA and before I got a chance to copy the macro, it disappeared and there is no way I can find it again. I tried to open the file in another computer, but the macro is nowhere to be found. The file has 50 worksheets and ThisWorkBook. On the "Properties" window for ThisWorkBook I can see that there is a password. How can I find again the macro?

I'm able to export hidden worksheet to PDF. Currently, I have the follow code below which will export active worksheet.
Code:
With Worksheets("ExportTable")
.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:=PdfFile, Quality:=xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=True
After I hide the tab, when I tried to export it. I have an error message of "Invalid argument". I should use another type of code to export hidden tabs.

I'm using the Find function in VBA on a column of data, but the range is being set to Nothing if the data item I'm looking for happens to be in a row that is hidden at the time. How do I set the find to look in all rows, hidden or not? Can this be done without unhiding all the rows first?

I need to find, then replace a particular value ("/0"), however, some cells may be hidden. And I just discovered that I can not replace the value of a hidden cell! Am I missing something, or do I have to unhide the row/column that the cell is in and then replace it? ...this does not replace the "/0" with "0" if the row the cell is in is hidden.
Sub test()
Dim rMatch
Set rMatch = ActiveSheet.Cells.Find(What:="/0", LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole)
rMatch.Value = "0"
End Sub

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"

My workbook contains 10 worksheets. Some users will use all 10 worksheets; some will use only 5 worksheets. If a user is not using a worksheet, I would like to hide it but leave it in the workbook.
However, I want to keep all workbooks in sync even though a user may choose to not use a particular worksheet. When my macros encounter a hidden worksheet, they stall. Does coding exist that allows a Macro to run on a hidden worksheet without making the worksheet visible?

1) I cannot figure out how to write VBA so the "Show Results" button will open the hidden worksheet when clicked.
2) When I use the userform to add new info, it does save to the worksheet, but when I cose the userform and try to open the spreadsheet, I get the following message, "Userform is already opened. Reopening will cause any changes to be disguarded". If I answer yes, I lose my changes, if I answer no, the changes are saved. I want this message to go away and data from the userform to automatically be added to the spreadsheet.
3) I want to make sure the "Account Number" field has a 9 digit number in it before it can be saved. If there is not a 9 digit number I would like an error message saying "Please enter a 9 digit account number" as a pop up.
4) I want to make sure both the "Account Number" and the "Assignment" fields have been populated before the data can be saved.

saw the other posts about hidden worksheets and couldn't get my makro to work. The macro works fine when the sheet in question is not hidden but when it is or when I tried to solve it with
Sheets(" total").visible = True
.
.
.
Sheets("total").Visible = False
Why could this be? The problem only occurs when the sheet is hidden or when code like the above are used, what could be done to fix the problem.

I have a button on a sheet that I want to unhide another sheet, but if this other sheet is already visible then I want this same button to hide it.
Here is what I tried and it does work except it runs all the IF's instead of stoping at THE IF that matches the condition.
Sub HideUnhide()
If Sheet2.Visible = xlSheetHidden Then
Sheet2.Visible = True
End If
If Sheet2.Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden Then
Sheet2.Visible = True
End If
If Sheet2.Visible = xlSheetVisible Then
Sheet2.Visible = False
End If
End Sub

I have a spreadsheet which I'm using as a log-in front for a series of other workbooks. The usernames and passwords are stored hidden cells within a "very hidden" worksheet. The workbook is protected and VBA code itself is password protected.
In short no-one can directly view the passwords (unless the password to unprotect it all is known.
What I have found is that someone can use a formula to reference the cells containing the user details. "=a1" for example.
Is the a method hiding the contents of a cell from excel itself? I want the vba script to be able to see the value, but any "=a1" formulas to return a blank.

I would like to put together a macro that would compare a list of part numbers against a database, and recommend alternative vendors for the part. The actual VBA I think I can handle, my problem is with the formula, array or whatever is needed to return the results I am looking for.
I have attached a sample workbook to this message that contains two worksheets. The "Sample Database" is an example of the format of the database (in Excel format) that I will be looking against. This data may be a hundred columns wide, and thousands of rows long.
The "Vendor Reference" worksheet shows an example of the data that would be returned if the "perfect" formula were entered into the cells. (I'll explain what I mean by "perfect" in a moment.) It also has an area designated for testing formulas to see what is returned. It's blank, because none of my tests returned anything but errors.
You will notice the column headings on the "Sample Database" worksheet. Columns A and B will always contain the part number and product description. The remaining columns will contain vendor specific data, with perhaps 25 different vendors, and 3 columns per vendor. These columns would be "PV", (for Primary Vendor), the vendor number, (010299, for example), and the Vend Part#.
If there is an asterisk, "*", under the "PV" column for that vendor, that means they are the "Primary" vendor. The cost from that vendor is listed under each vendor number. There may be instances where 2 different vendors are listed as primary. If that's the case, the formula can simply return the FIRST one found.
Here's what the "perfect" formula would return: .....

I need to create a new excel template for work. I was planning to copy a few worksheets from an old workbook over into the new workbook, mostly just for formatting for some graphs/tables that I would then link to the new workbook. A coworker said I cannot do this as copying from an old workbook will bring in "hidden" data that could some way impact the integrity of the new workbook and that the copied/old worksheet would FOREVER be linked to the new workbook no matter what I do. Is this true? If so, are there things I can do to remove any reliance to the old workbook.

I asked for a macro that copy an worksheet and rename it using a userfom!
I received the xls file attached to this mail !
In this xls when I click "Click me to copy s0 sheet and rename it" from final sheet, a userform appear, I type a name there and when I press ok I will have a copy of worksheet "s0" with the name typed in the userform.
If I click on "Click me to copy s0 sheet and rename it" I can create as many copies as I need.
But if I hide worksheet "s0" (using Format /Sheet/Hide) the macro will not work.
I modified the code from module 1 adding the red

I have an excel document displaying graphs that i would like to link to from a menu page (via a number of buttons). The problem is that i have about 12 of these graph sheets (along with 8 other sheets) and i'd rather not have them cluttering up the worksheet tabs list at the bottom of the screen.
Does anyone have any suggestions about how to handle this? Is a macro to open a hidden sheet and then close it once it is navigated away from a reasonable option? Or does Excel protocol suggest that they should remain visible, despite their cluttering..

I've developed a workbook that is designed to allow users to produce a list of aspects (one per worksheet) and edit them as the aspect changes. However, i would very much like to create a 'log' of changes. For example, everytime a cell is changed the cell reference, worksheet reference and date are added to a list on a hidden worksheet.

In Sheet1 I've got a list of names in column A, then I've got a worksheet for each name in the list. I'd like to fill in column B with information from the worksheet of the same name as in column A.
Quick example...name in column A is Davis, want to fill in column B with a value from cell C3 on worksheet named Davis and do it for the entire list. Data being looked for is in same cell on each worksheet. Tried using a formula and dragging it down the list, problem with that is it doesn't change the sheetname just the cell.

I have two worksheets that Data might be present,
Holdtickets and "another sheet"
Here is my code:
Code:
Dim i As Long
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim wsEachSheet As Worksheet
Const strDestSheetName As String = "Hold Tickets"
Const strDestSheetName2 As String = "Enter Order"
[Code] ........
I don't want to show the location as being the worksheet "Hold Tickets" so i had to remove it from the search, But the data is still important
I need a macro code that will locate the data in "another sheet" and return the values from there, but if it is also present in the worksheet "Hold tickets" then
This part of the code will need to look like this:
Code:
Sheet1.Range("B7").Value = wsEachSheet.Name & "Hold Tickets"

I am trying to format all cells on all sheets (hidden or otherwise) as "Locked" so when the sheets are protected the user can't see the formulas. This macro individually selects every sheet in the book and applys the formatting. Is there a way to modify this code to accomplish the same thing without having it actually select every sheet? The only reason it is an issue is that after running the macro you end up on the last sheet in the book.

I have 3 columns of data that are being copied from a .csv file. The data is pasted into Columns B, C, & D. Columns C and D are hidden. So that the user does not have to unhide the columns in order to delete the data, I would like to make it so that when the data in column B is deleted, the data in columns C and D is also deleted.

I have an Excel WorkBook with 100 WorkSheets.
Each Worksheet has a unique identifying label - "Requirement Number"
Within each worksheet is free form text data of the following categories:
Requirement: 10358
Title: Customer requirement 1
Text: This describes the requirements for a product for the customer[code].....
The text of the categories may begin in column A or B
What I need is a macro that will search each worksheet for a category, e.g., "Configuration:", copy the row where the keyword "Configuration" is found, and then have that row transposed and pasted to another WorkSheet (e.g., "Extracted Data") cell.
Data extracted from the next Worksheet would begin a new row in "Extracted Data"
Example:
Requirement1 Title Text Verification Method-Level ...
Requirement2 Title Text Verification Method-Level ...
Requirement3 Title Text Verification Method-Level ...
The Requirement# is best extracted from the WorkSheet tab since some of the worksheets are missing this information.
I can provide an example spreadsheet, however, I was not able to figure out how do that in this post.
I found a thread similar to this problem:
find and copy row
However, it only finds, copies and pastes for one keyword.
