Is there a way to hide certain cells using the protect sheet option? Checking the hidden box on the format cells dialogue doesn't seem to do it. I know you can do it by entering ;;; in the custom formating but then if you have to remember which ones you did that too. I would like to be able to hide and unhide a group of cells easily.
We have a file that needs to be updated monthly by running macros, but the macros are being blocked by protection. I would like to put some code at the start of the macro that unlocks all sheets and then at the end locks them up again. Actually, all I really need is a macro to do just that unlock all sheets, and then another one that locks them back up again as we will need to lock and unlock at various times and it is annoying to have to do it by sheet ....
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have an workbook with many sheets. each sheet contains loads of checkboxes, dropdowns, option buttons, groupboxes ... and they are created using a macro when the workbook is opened. all this works fine. Now I've grouped different rows based on their level of importance. Here's the glitch. whenever I select a group level, the rows get hidden, but not the shapes & objects present on them. Instead, they just jump to the row above or below and overlap the other shapes.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am very new to VBA. I need to have a code that will hide/unhide cells based on a date range.
Cell A1 contains the formula for todays date, based on that answer, I want to hide/unhide columns based on a weekly date range.
Ex.:
Today is 03/18/2014 I want excel to say If A1(Today) is greater than 03/14/2014 and less than or equal to 03/21/2014 then unhide column E and hide the rest.
Then let's say Today is 03/22/2014. I want excel to say If A1(Today) is greater than 03/21/2014 and less than or equal to 03/28/2014 then unhide column F and hide the rest.
columns in questions are D-AC
There is 2 parts to my question and I will explain them as best as i can.
1. I have a front sheet and 12 other sheets ( 1 for each month of the year) they all have the same layout. On my front sheet I want to create a button which will capture the sheet onto my front sheet for the current month, whether this means to make 12 buttons to choose which month is displayed on the front sheet or one that detects the date by system time i dont mind.
2. These 12 sheets will ideally be hidden and what I am wanting is again, on the front sheet 12 buttons for each sheet to bring up the corresponding hidden sheet so they can be viewed, and then on each of the 12 sheets another button which will hide them and return the user to the front sheet.
I have recorded macro.
What I am trying to achieve is ....
When I select cell A2 and press command button Then - Columns C, D, E are unhidden
-Relative cells in selected row ( in this case C2,D2,E2) change font to 12
- When command button is pressed then C,D,E are hidden and font size goes back to 1
similarly if i select A3 same should happen to C3,D3,E3
Currently all is OK but when I press command button it all happens with the entire column C,D,E

Is there a way to hide a group of cells based on the value of a cell in another sheet?
I have attached my spreadsheet.
So, based on the selection in H5 on the 'Wood Selection' sheet, I would like to hide cells on the 'Moisture Controlled Schedule' sheet, and the 'Time Controlled Schedule' sheet.
If Ponderosa Pine is selected, I want it to hide all the douglas-fir info, and vice versa
Conditional formatting. I want to change the color of a group of cells based on data in another group of cells. Example:
If cells G8 and G9 (which are merged) are between 80% and 94%, then I9,I10,I11 (which are merged) will turn Yellow. Also, under the same scenario, IF G8 and G9 is greater than 94%, then cells I9, I10, I11 will turn Red.
I am trying to write VBA code that groups cells between blank rows and inserts a message if a string of text (a name) is missing from the entire group. I want the code to search cells in column A and group the cells between blank cells. Use the name I input in an input box as the search criteria and insert a message in the Column C next to the last blank cell in the group and then move on to the next group and highlight the cell in red with bold text. I am including a spreadsheet with an example of what the sheet should look like before and after the code is run.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI have this file in which I have 25 empty rows in between different categories. On the side of each category there is a plus sign which is supposed to unhide an empty row below the last used one, and a minus sign which should hide the last empty row within the category (i.e. mobilization, earthworks...). I faced many problems and tried to simplify it as much as possible (trying the code for only one category, msgboxes with the values to understand what was going on) but no luck. The problem that I have been stuck at the moment is that when I try to count the rows from C73 to the last used row, it bypasses the hidden ones. I have a mess of a code and a print screen which I am attaching. printscreen.jpg

I highlighted a selection of rows and clicked HIDE, now I want to unhide certain rows and when I highlight the rows above and below and right click - unhide nothing happens. I need to Unhide to find something.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've come across a spreadsheet where certain rows and columns (typically top rows or left columns) are hidden; however, there's no way to unhide them (the unhide function is grayed out) and it doesn't seem to be protected or no visible macros/vba on the file.

View 11 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook with about 20 worksheets in it.
6 are visible
3 are hidden
the remaining are very hidden
I'm creating a "welcome" page to the workbook with instructions on how to update data. The data between the 20 sheets consists of pivot tables, charts and summary data. The Visible sheets are data for management's review (all protected). The 3 hidden sheets are pivot tables that the user needs to pull data from and the very hidden sheets are not to be seen by anyone.
In my "welcome" page, I added the instructions of how to update data, but wanted an area where I could assign a checkbox or button to click on for the user to unhide my 3 hidden sheets (say Sheet1, Sheet2 and Sheet3). I do not want it to unhide my very hidden sheets. Then, when the information needed is retrieved from those sheets, I would like the user to use a checkbox or button to hide the 3 hidden sheets again. Is there a way to do this?
I tried creating custom view but couldn't do that because of the pivot tables (the option was disabled). I'm a beginner in VBA so don't even know how to begin.
I have a spreadsheet that has 28 columns for time entries. Typically only the first 12 columns are used, so I would like to hide the remaining 16 columns (which makes the spreadsheet much more user-friendly). It would probably be nearly impossible to teach all of them how to Unhide the remaining columns (and re-Hide), plus I would like to use the full-screen function when employees enter thier times. I would like to use a form control in the column heading so that when the employees 'check' it, it will Unhide and then re-Hide the columns. Any way to do this? Seems like a VB thing to me (out of my league, but would be happy to add one in!).

I am looking for a way to hide and unhide tabs. The first sheet of the workbook is an information sheet and I have a dropdown box in cell N3 to select Yes or NO to correct financial issues. If I select NO I would like to also hide tabs for sheet 4 and sheet 22.

Can this be adapted to hide tabs?

Could someone provide me with the VBA to 'toggle' between HIDING and UNHIDING columns within one macro

I am using the code below on my spreadsheet. What is does is hides Row #1 until Row 41 is reached. When 41 is reached Row 1 appears. Unfortunately (for me) I need to alter this code and was wondering if anyone could tell me if it is possible. First the
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Rows(1).Hidden (Target.Row < 41) Then
ActiveSheet.Unprotect
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Rows(1).Hidden = Target.Row < 41
ActiveSheet.Protect
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End If
End Sub
What I would now like to happen is that Row 1 stays hidden UNTIL Row 16 is OFF Screen. Can that be done? What has happened is that my row 16 contains the heads for my input table. I have now had to set the rows to resize to accommodate data input. If no rows are resized then Row 16 stays visible until I reach row 40. When row 41 is reached then Row 1 appears which contains my headers as well. I hope this makes sense to someone...
SO, IF I can get a code that would keep row one hidden until Row 16 is off screen then it will not matter what rows expand.
I made this simple little macro to hide/unhide a row on a different sheet based on a check box. The row hides fine. The problem I have is unhide. I uncheck the box, but the row stays hidden. What am I missing to make this little gem come to life? This is for tracking popcorn sales for scouting and I'm trying to make it as easy to use as possible.
Sub Patrol1_Scout1()
If True Then
Sheets("Show_n_Deliver_Sold").Rows("7:7").EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If
If False Then
Sheets("Show_n_Deliver_Sold").Rows("7:7").EntireRow.Hidden = False
End If
End Sub
It seems there may be an event or something that happens when a row is hidden/unhidden.
I have this simple function that gives TRUE / FALSE if the Cell's Row or Column is Hidden.
Public Function IsVisible(MyRange As Range)
IsVisible = ((Rows(MyRange.Row).Hidden = False) And _
(Columns(MyRange.Column).Hidden = False))
End Function
And a formula in a cell
=IsVisible(A1)
When I hide/unhide the ROW - the formula recalculates automatically without having to do the F2 Enter thing..
But when I hide/unhide the COLUMN, it does not recalculate automatically. I have to do the F2 Enter thing to get it to recalculate.
Even putting Application.Volatile in there doesn't do it.
I'm just curious why it recalculates when the row is hidden/unhidden but not when the column is hidden/unhidden? Is there a hidden event that could be used? I often see posts of people trying to prevent hiding rows.
I 'd like to open a xls where a combo appears only when i select a specific cell.

I want to create a check box which will hide/unhide a given row depending on if selected or not.
I can create a macro to hide or unhide the row, but I can't figure out how to do both depending on whether the check box is selected or not.
I'm looking to make a simple button that would hide a given range of columns.
This is the simplest I could find:
VB:
Sub button1()
Columns("AD:AE").EntireColumn.Hidden = Not Columns("AD:AE").EntireColumn.Hidden
End Sub
Although this works nicely, there was another way to do it (looks more ergonomic and doesn't take up spreadsheet space). Here's a screenshot of what I mean: ColumnHide.gif
