I have a workbook with several sheets, but just on the sheet called “sales” I need a macro to do the following:
If F4 = CST
Then Lock down H4-S4 and AM4-AZ4
But if F4 is changed to something else I need H4-S4 and AM4-AZ4 to be unlocked
Is a password necessary for this? It is ou
I just want it to lock and unlock, not protect and unprotect.
I have a lookup that gives and RGB colour code in Cell A1; for example 186, 206, 140.
I'd then like Cells R10:V15 to fill with the RGB colour based on the result in A1.
I am having trouble with my VBA code, it hides groups of rows (projects) based on the contents of corresponding cells above. these have either 'yes' or 'no' in them (indicating if the person is active in that project). The Yes/No is formula based from another sheet.
what I am trying to do, is have particular cells, withing the projects rows, locked (as they are also populated by formulas) but have other cells open for editing.
when I try and do this i get an error with my VBA, i am assuming that as cells are locked, the VBA is prohibited form hiding inactive projects/rows. i tried an addition at the bottom but this hasn't worked
Code:
Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Dim i As Long, StartRow As Long, EndRow As Long
StartRow = 13

I want to have a few words shown based on figures in specific cells. I not quite sure how to explain, but i will try my best:
A1 = 5
A2 = 0
A3 = 7
The function i am using looks something like this:-
=IF(A1<6,"Do I Have Sickness Self Cert?","Do I Have Doctor's Paper?")
However, by using this function, if the cell is empty it still shows the first wording when i need it to show lets say between 1 & 6 shows the first wording and more than 6 shows the second wording! If you know what i mean... I know what i want to do but cant really explain it very well.
Maybe it should look something like this but it does not work the way i am doing it.
=IF(E156>1<6,"Do I Have Sickness Self Cert?","Do I Have Doctor's Paper?")
Attached is a excel file that has a working formula for tracking cashier variances. I edited out names etc.
I added a new cell called Track Back on the employee search sheet.
What I want to do is only show variances for the amount of days back selected in the Track Back cell.
For example if I select the last 30 days, only the last 30 days would show up below in the sheet.
I am not sure if this is even possible based on the forumla that is already on the sheet. I couldn't figure out a way of doing it. But there are a lot of people on here much better with excel than me
Basically a cell might have a number with 3 decimal places
For Example 90.554, and i will format the cell two 2 decimal places. But when i use those cells which are formated to 2 decimal places in a formula it produces results based of all the decimal places in that cell.
Is there a way for the formula to only calculate the results based off of what is shown in the cell? . This is messing up our accounting area by alot of dollars since we sell many items.
I included an example of what i mean in this excel file which should clear up any confusion.
Everything works in the script. It is a little slow on some of the users pc's.But they discovered a problem when they paste more than a couple values ,the workbook locks up.
1 I like to know how to speed this up?
2 I would like to understand as to why excel locks up.
You can recreate the lock up by picking a name from the drop down list in column A5 then Copy that name and paste in A6 To A10. I'm using Excel 2002.
I've been having trouble recently with my workbook file size growing rapidly due to copy and paste commands and such. I found a very nice macro to reduce file size called ExcelDiet located at [url]
Option Explicit
Sub ExcelDiet()
Dim j As Long
Dim k As Long
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim LastCol As Long
Dim ColFormula As Range
Dim RowFormula As Range
Dim ColValue As Range
Dim RowValue As Range
Dim Shp As Shape
Dim ws As Worksheet
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
On Error Resume Next
This code works fine until I share the workbook. Can anyone take a look at this code and provide some information as to why this might be happening?
1st - Need a macro to change a range of cells colours based on a single cell having a value greater than 0.001. ie. cells A1 - G1 need to change to grey based on cell F1 having a value greater than 0.001 entered in it?
2nd - Also a macro for deleting the text contents of cell C1 based on cell F1 having a value greater than 0.001. Therefor if cell F1 has a number greater than 0.001 it changes the colour of celss A1 - G1 and also deletes the text in cell C1?
How do I programmatically freeze ( lock?) an autoshape so that it stays put even when the user scrolls up/or down?
FYI: I created an autoshape and assigned it a macro, thus it becomes a software button, I want the button to stay put.
I need a macro to highlight a cell based on other cells.
For example:-
1. I wants to highlight A3 in red if all the cells from I3 to Y3 are empty.
2. I wants to highlight A3 in yellow if I3 is filled and J3 is empty
3. I wants to highlight A3 in green if if I3 is filled and J3 is also filled.
Actually I am having a grid which shows all the components of watch like KIt, case, dial , strap,hands.
The A row is purchase order no and then I3 and J3 belongs to KIt means if a po is not then I3 and J3 are empty so A3 is high Lighted in REd and if a po is placed then we put supplier name in I3 and it changes the color to yellow and when a po is confirmed we put confirmation date in J3 so A3 turns to green.
So in this way we can see if any Po is not yet placed or not yet confirmed based on cell color.
How can I make excel sum up a colum, and ignore cells shown as #I/T?
This error sign might not be the same in the english version of excel.
If I try to sum up cells with the error value, the feedback will also be #I/T.
Faulty formula is now; =(SUM(B307:B316))
Each sheet has the same basic formatting. A1 contains a name. B1, C1, D1 are column headers. B2:B is data. C2:C is data and always stops at the same row B2:B range does. The only differences between the sheets is that they might not stop at the same row. I want a macro that merges A1 vertically as shown in my spread sheet to the end of column B and C. I want a border around the merged data, as well as around the B data and the C data individually.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet with data populated down column B. This size will vary from day to day so is there a macro I can run that will populate Column C with a formula based on their being data in the adjacent cell.
View 2 Replies View RelatedFor example Cell A1 is 9.5 x 2.5 which gives 23.75
but what is actually displayed to users is rounded to 24
So how do I use 24 as a reference instead of 23.75?
So in Cell B1, it would be =A1x100 but the value is 2400 instead of 2375?
You can't use the ROUND function because if users decide to use 23.8 then the B1 cell needs to be 23.8x100
some Excel columns (see attachment). A1 is set to =C1 and the formula is dragged down, relatively referencing column C. Column B applies a formula to the values in Column A.
If I go into the formula bar for cells in A and push enter, the spreadsheet shows the correct value and I can then push enter in the adjacent Column B cell to solve. But, how can I get these data to display properly automatically?
I am trying to find a way to write a Macro that will auto color multiple cells based on what data is displayed in one cell. The cell I want to reference is a vlookup cell.
Basically this is a part label. And depending what part is selected from the list my vlookup will display its position on a vehicle(i.e.. FR, FL, RR, RL, Etc..). So if vlookup comes back with FR I want the various cells on the label to be orange, etc..
ALSO: if there is a way to embed it so it does this automatically (rather than run the macro each time).
how I can have the selected item in a dropdownlist also to be shown in another cell? Typing the cell number of the dropdownlist in another cell (f.e. ="dropdownlist cell number)" doesn't seem to do it.

Is there a way to create a macro to color code a cell based on the value in a cell, and then look up a value in a table, then color code it based on where it fits into the table?
I have a table of values for about 30 projects. In column g - there is a CPI value (see bold column)
Example: Project ID
Name
Program
PMT
SI ID
AC
Milestone
TCP Level
[Code] ......
Here is the table:
I have to color code a cell, base on the CPI and how it fits into the table below. So if the current Milestone is M2 or M3 and the CPI calculated is .14 the cell would be colored RED, if the CPI number is 2.01 for M2-M3 I would want cell to be colored Turquiose. If we were at Milestone M6 and the CPI was 2.01, it would be colored blue. If the CPI was .75 at Milestone M5, it would be colored Green
LEGEND
Earned Value Limits
Milestone
RED
Yellow
Green
Turquoise
Blue
M2-M3
2.15
M4-M6
1.66
M7-M11
1.26
I have a workbook that contains several macros and many formulas. It
works beautifully until I try to print or do a print preview. Then it locks
up excel and I have to restart. Any ideas about what is causing this?
Autofilter is turned on in a weekly spreadsheet that I receive. Functionality to move around by arrows or page up/down works until I select something out of an autofilter drop down. Screen locks in place. Can't arrow down or up (but can go left/right). Page up/down is broke also.
If I exit and re-enter it works until I filter. Scroll lock does nothing.
In a cell there would be a formula, an "if" formula and I want to know is there something in Excel that will lock in a true statement. Like lets say in cell "A1" a formula would read =if(b1>1,.001,.002), I want to lock in a number when the statement is true. Cannot be change no more after when it is true.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am importing external data to "Workbook A" from the source workbook, "Workbook B." Workbook A is set up to refresh every 15 minutes. Workbook B is shared. I am recieving an error saying either, the 'file is in use', or 'the file is locked,' depending on the senario.
Scenario 1:
1. I open A and enable data connections.
2. I try to open B, but receive the message: '(File location...) is in use. Try again later.
Scenario 2:
1. I open B.
2. I open A.
3. I go back to B to edit information.
4. When I try saving the information I get the following message: 'File is locked. Try the command again later.'
I need to be able to have A open and periodically refreshing. I also need to allow users unhindered access to B at the same time.

I have 4 workbooks, all of them contain data that is managed by other teams at my company. I need to take all of this data, organize, and concatenate it into one sheet for myself, that I will then reference in other workbooks to various OTHER departments in our company that need the data for certain projects. I have the organization laid out in a lot of very complex formulas so that most of this is automated, and not manual.
I need a solution that can pull data from the 4 workbooks without locking them for use, to allow me to keep my document open all the time, and they can update theirs at their leisure. Everything works fine, until I hit the refresh button. Once this is hit, all of the linked documents are locked and cannot be opened, even in "Read Only" mode. Once I close the master document, the files are free to be opened. I know a workaround for now is that i can not "refresh" the document, but rather close and re open it for changes.
Some steps I have already tried :
1. Create an intermediary file that no one uses, and can be locked all day without a problem. This doesn't work for me since the intermediary file needs to be open to refresh, which locks the original source doc, leaving me in the same place as before.
2.Modify the connection string to display "Mode=Read;" instead of "Mode=Share Deny Read"
3.Create a new connection with "Read" only selected in the Advanced Tab
I have a worksheet that I want to populate with specific data from another worksheet.
If all of the following are met:
1) Column A equals "763" and
2) Column K is formatted Red (255, 0, 0) from conditional formatting
3) Column P is blank
Then in my blank worksheet I need to display the data from Columns A, B, D, K, O
I have created a workbook that imports data from another workbook which is used frequently on a network drive. After I import the data to my new workbook, it locks the original workbook for editing. Is there a property that will allow me to disable this 'locked for editing' read only mode or any other way to get around this?
View 6 Replies View RelatedWhen the sum of B7-D7 is less than cell (I7) I would like to change the shade of B7-D7 to orange to indicate that larger values need to be entered to equal the value of cell I7. And when the sum of these three cells does equal I7 their color should change to green. I recorded two macros to change the colors and I've run them to verify they work.

I build a lot of spreadsheets at work that I email out and the person I send them too has to enter information in the cells highlighted in yellow. Since not many of the end users are too computer savvy I lock and protect all the cells that they shouldn't be changing.
This can take forever, is there any way to have all the cells in a worksheet become locked and protected based on the formatting they have? All cells that aren't yellow?
I have two columns, A and B (I technically have a lot more in my sheet but to make it simple just focus on these two columns). The two columns are Company Name and then Company Color. I want to write a macro that based on what color is in Company Code (B1:B500) to highlight Company Name (Column A) based on those values in column B.
Below is an example:
I would want GE to be Red for example.
Company Name
Company Color
Google
White
GE

Column DColumn EColumn FTarget %DifferenceCash4%5.12%Large-Cap8.5%1.73%Commodities4%-1%
I need to color code Col F based on the following criteria:
If F2/E2>20%, then shade pink else no color. I only care about the absolute values. The 20% number can change depending on the category. So for commodities, the limitation is 30%. Like that I have a list of about 20 asset classes, 14 of which have the 20% constraint, rest are either 25% or 30%. I would like the cell color to be updated each time I import a file. Also I have other conditional formatting on Col F (like red color if negative number) so I don't know if another conditional format will work on the same cells?
