I need to have a current row password protected when the value in ActiveCell.Offset(0, 0).Value = "Close"
but just to lock that current row. What I have is a close button on a userform that changes the ActiveCell.Offset(0, 0).Value = "Close", i just need to add another line of code to lock the row.
VB: ActiveCell.Offset(0, 0).Value = "Close" (And lock current row With password 123)
I have a time tracking sheet. In Column C and Column D there is a start time and end time respectively where my team people will enter the current time accordingly.
I would like to lock the cell once they enter the time but the entire sheet should not lock. Only the Column C and D should lock upon people enter the time. Basically, once user enter the time, they should not be able to change it.
I want to make a sheet that will lock cells from rows that have passed the yesterday date. In A column i entred the days and the locked row must have the range from A to U. After i read the post from here Lock / Protect Rows Past Due Date any solution.
View 3 Replies View Related I have a multisheet excel workbook that I am programming. I was wondering if there is a way to lock a cell on one sheet after the initial value was put in, allowing me to change it later. This may not be so clear so here is the problem....
I have Workbook1. The input from cell A3 on Sheet1 is 5. I have made a second sheet called Order Form. In cell B5 of Order form I have made it ='Sheet1'!A3. I am looking for a way to be able to change cell A3 on Sheet1, but keep the 5 on Order Form.
I wish to be able to lock an entire row after an entry has been made in a certain cell.
e.g. let's say i want to lock row 9 in its' entirety following entry of "Yes" in cell G9. If there is no entry in G9 the the entire row should be still unlocked. Likewise with any row with a corresponding entry in column G.
Is it possible to lock all cells with the exception of a select few(say a column) based upon a date? I have a spreadsheet where I want to lock all cells with the exception of the current months information. I want the spreadsheet to auto unlock the date that is listed on the top of the spreadsheet. I have columns for all months of the yea and I have the current month listed in cell A1. I want match the A1 cell to the column header to unlock the correct column.
View 4 Replies View Relatedtrying to put together a formula, I am trying enable two cells to change between being 'Locked' and 'Unlocked'. I am doing this by using a CheckBox which is referenced to cell [E16] so that when it is checked, 'TRUE' will be displayed and when Unchecked 'FALSE' is displayed. From this I have tried to devise a formula for the cells [c26:I26] and [K26] that when cell [E16] shows 'TRUE' the cells [c26:I26] and [K26] are Unlocked and when it shows 'FALSE' the cells [c26:I26] and [K26] then become locked.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to figure out how to lock a range of cells (all in a row) when some puts a specific character in one of the cells. I have a sheet where I want people to enter data. Once they put a 'C' in the last column to indicate that the entry is complete, the whole row should be locked so they can't change any of the cells for that entry. There are some good pointers already on the forum to help me get the basics:

There is a question in column A to which the user chooses yes or no from column B. Based on the response in column B, I'd like the same row column D to be formatted so that if the anser is yes, the cell is white, and unlocked. If the response is no, the cell is cleared, locked and the greyed out. (e.g. if B4 is "Yes", the format in D4 will change) So far I've come up with the following which formats the colour:

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet that has number between 1-20 entered in every cell in column B all the way down to row 15,000
I need to program something in VBA that will look at each number and then lock a certain range in that row based on that value in column B
For example:
In B3 there is the number '5' therefore I would want it to stop the user entering anything between C3 and G3
In B4 there is the number '3' therefore I would want it to stop the user entering anything between C4 and E4
In B12500 there is the number '14' therefore I would want it to stop the user entering anything between C12500 and P12500
I don't want to have to type out programming for each criteria from 1-20 for 15,000 rows!
Purpose of the worksheet:
Different users can access my excelsheet to make a selection out of a drop down list, all other cells are locked and the worksheet is protected. There is an amount of "working shifts" all in row D one under another, the users can link people to that "working shift" based on the people that are in a drop down list (data validation).
So shift in D5 will be attributed to the person selected in E5; D6 to E6; ... This happens in multiple sheets in the workbook.
Problem:
Once I verified the link of the person to the "workshift", I put "OK" in cell F5 (not directly, but through a VLOOKUP that searches in a summarysheet). As soon as "OK" is in cell F5, I want cell E5 to be locked. But also for F6 and E6 ... (range: E5:E250).
This way, no one can change the person that I verifed (nor is the person changed without me noticing it).
I have an Excel file for work that has the following:
Column 1 is Agent
Column 2 is Interval (in 15 minute intervals from a report that I pulled)
Column 3 is Agent Calls (has a number anywhere from 1 - the highest currently is 19, which tells me how many calls that Agent had on that 15 minute interval.)
What I have currently is that if it says:
John Doe 15:00 5
It will automatically insert rows after the number based on a # -1, so it will add 4 empty rows after this row.
I have another step that will automatically copy Column 1 and Column 2 to the blank rows directly beneath them until it reaches a cell with data.
Now, what I need is a macro that will take Column C and where it says 5 automatically know to change that to '5a' then proceed to go down the list with 5b, 5c, 5d, & 5e. If it sees 4 it will know to change that to '4a' then proceed to go down the list with 4b, 4c, & 4d. I currently have numbers ranging from 2 - 19.
I have built custom list with this information so if I change all the numbers from 4 to 4a or 19 to 19a and double click on the black box it will autofill exactly like I want but it only goes down to the next cell with data, and I have 100+ lines per agent, and up to 21 agents a day, so this gets time consuming.
Here's how it looks when I'm ready to start the macro:
JohnDoe - Doe, John15:00 x
JohnDoe - Doe, John15:15 4a
JohnDoe - Doe, John15:15
JohnDoe - Doe, John15:15
JohnDoe - Doe, John15:15
JohnDoe - Doe, John15:45 4a
[Code] ......
And I need it to look like this:
JohnDoe - Doe, John15:00 x
JohnDoe - Doe, John15:15 4a
JohnDoe - Doe, John15:15 4b
JohnDoe - Doe, John15:15 4c
JohnDoe - Doe, John15:15 4d
[Code] ........

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have two columns, column Q and R. Column Q has Data Validation set, where you can only choose one of four options in any given cell between rows 2-250,000. When "Complete" is chosen, the cell turns green. Now when "Complete" is chosen in column Q, I need the cell next to it in Column R to auto-fill today's date. However, the date should not update to the next day. So if the cell autofills to today's date, which is 12/6/13, tomorrow, when the date changes to 12/7/13, the cell still reads 12/6/13.

I have a dropdown (YES/NO) selection in Column C. I want to do the following when 'YES' is the selection for any row:
1) do a vlookup into the 'data' tab and return corresponding value in Column D
2) Lock the cell after the value is returned into Column D
If the selection is 'NO' then do nothing., ie., leave the cell blank and unlocked.
I want to do (seemingly easy task) of getting a price from a code, from a code sheet.
EXAMPLE:
Sheet1 (Log sheet)
A1 = "Code456"
A2 = $? <- This needs to be found.
Sheet2 (Price Sheet)
A1=Code123 B1=$1
A2=Code456 B1=$2
A3=Code789 B1=$0.50
Etc, and so on...
What I want to do is basically (without using macros):
"If A1 = sheet2:A1, then
A2 = sheet2:B1, halt. , ELSE,
If A1 = sheet2:A2, then
A2 = sheet2:B2, halt. ELSE,
So on and so forth..."
I thought there might be an easy way to do it with some sort of 'double sided' data validation drop downs or OFFSET function but I cant figure it out.
I have a spreadsheet where there are two columns for the user to enter data in, but they can only select one column. I want to lock the second cell if data is entered in the first.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI need to lock certain cells on a worksheet when a value is selected from a validation list. For example:
user goes to select an option from a validation list, that cell is now locked.
User decides to change the value with a blank option, available on the same list. the cell becomes unlocked ready for new input from the list.
the cell can only allow input when the value in the list matches that of another cell. if another cell already has different data in, it wont allow you to change the value.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a solution to a problem and from what I've read in the forums so far, this is the place to come. I first want to say that I have tried to solve the problem by using guidance from other similar threads and adapt those answers to my needs, but as my understanding of VBA is non-existent this was somewhat difficult. I don't want to post a repeat question and I hate wasting people's time if unnecessary, but I can't do this on my own.
That being said, here is the problem;
(I have attached a simplified copy of the worksheet I am working on for reference)
I would like to lock a particular cell in my spreadsheet based upon the selections made from two drop down validation lists (Cells “C4” & “D4”)
Essentially, if a correct choice is made in both, then the cell “E4” becomes unlocked for editing. If however, the correct selection is made in one list, but not the other, I need the cell “E4” to remain locked and a message to appear to prompt the user to correct their mistake.
Furthermore, both the validation lists have a whole range of selections that are very similar but have subtle differences;
E.g.
"Soft Eye by Talurit"
"Soft Eye by Splice"
Is it possible to write a VBA code that performs a similar function to the =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("**",))) formula, so that if any choice that contains the word "Soft" is selected from either or both lists then the cell “E4” becomes unlocked, but if the selection does not contain that word then the cell remains locked?
If anyone could provide a code to make this happen, I would be very grateful! But please explain how to do this, as the word “Soft” won’t be the only parameter and I may need to alter the code so I need to understand the principle behind it; For example, on the spreadsheet, if in the ‘Inboard End’ list a ‘Soft Eye’ is selected and on the ‘Outboard End List’ a ‘Soft Eye’ is selected then cell E4 is unlocked for editing. If in the ‘Inboard End’ list a ‘Soft Eye’ is selected and on the ‘Outboard End List’ a ‘Fused and Tapered’ is selected then cell E4 is unlocked for editing, but if in the ‘Inboard End’ list a ‘Soft Eye’ is selected and on the ‘Outboard End List’ a ‘Standard Eye’ is selected then cell E4 remains locked and an error message appears to alert the user that his/her choices are incorrect. If however, "Soft" is not selected in either list then cell E4 remains locked (it has to be selected in at least one of the two lists to allow editing).
This is a work in progress (not all the formulas that will eventually be used have been entered yet, so please excuse the untidiness of it all) and the choices are likely to change based on input from my colleagues, so I need to understand how the VBA works in order to alter it accordingly, but I don’t want to put any more work into this (it’s still in the early stages) if it isn’t possible to achieve these needs.
I am looking to write a code to lock/unlock cells based on values selected using a drop down list (see attached Excel) For example if Netherlands is chosen as the Country (Column A), then except for the columns Amsterdam (column B) and Eindhoven (column C), all other columns must be locked. Similarly, if India is chosen as the country from the drop down list, then only the columns New Delhi and Mumbai must be editable for the user, the rest of the columns remain locked.
I tried tweaking some of the lock/unlock codes around, but got lost especially with getting to run the macro - still trying to come to terms with running a "Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange" function in the sheet from "Module"!
I have a list of insurance companies as column headers (B1:U1) and a list of what types of insurance they sell as row headers (A2:A6). Within the table, there is a "O" if they sell that type of insurance, and blank if they do not sell the insurance.
My first combo box is the list of insurance companies. I want my second combo box to be populated with only the types of insurance that particular company sells.
I am trying to get a function to return a date based on the string in the preceding cell. If the cell, say A1, has the string "Before 12:30", i want the cell B1 to put the date 5 days from now in the cell. If there is any other string entered then 6 days from now. I also need it to include the networkdays function.
Here's what i've got, messy i know but functions aren't my strong point. Also would i save file size if i did this in VBA? ....
=IF(A4='Exported Data'!B2,'Exported Data'!C2,"")
How can I lock A so when I copy over to the right the formula doesn't change that reference to B4?
Is there a way to have the True value (Exported Data'!C2) reference one cell over instead of selecting the cell to reference from?
Need code that would make cell J2 be populated with U no matter what was placed in cell J2 either manually or externally.
