I have four worksheets in my project and I would like to protect one of the sheets so changes can't be saved. In other words, I would like to make that specific worksheet "read-only". The other three sheets I want changes to be saved with the document.
View 4 RepliesIs it possible to make Columns Read only? So not one can type or edit. Not all columns just the ones I need
B,C,D,I,J
I have tried the following code, but doesn't work unless I protect the sheet:
Range("A1:A4").Select
Selection.Locked = True
Selection.FormulaHidden = False
If I protect the sheet, then it works fine, but how can I make a cell read only
WITHOUT protecting the sheet?
I have attached three excel files .....In the file called 'sampleBook1latest' I have a button called 'click here to clear a schedule' If I click that button and choose OR,start time and duration of a surgery then a schedule that is already created wil get cleared.....I have the total number of nurses and number of nurses used saved to the side of the sheet..... The total number of nurses at the side is read from another excel file called 'Input file for # of nurses'
Now the problem is that if clear a schedule then the number of nurses used is not getting updated at the side.....if I clear a schedule then the number of nurses at the side should also get updated....for example(If I create a schedule with 3 nurses and if only a total of 3 nurses are available then..... the used number of nurses for that specific time at the side will get updated to 3 from 0 and if I clear that schedule then the used nurses for that time should again become 0)....
The other problem is that if I schedule a surgery then all details of the surgery will be saved in another excel sheet called 'input file for patient details' so if I clear a schedule then all the details of that surgery saved in that excel sheet should also be cleared......
I need to make a workbook read only depending upon certain conditions that are apparent only on start up. As I cannot assign the ReadOnly property, is my only solution to trap the Save command and dissallow "save changes".

View 6 Replies View RelatedI recently added formulas to the attached worksheet where a cell is linked to a "true" and a "false" which are linked to check boxes. When "true" is activated the cell with the formula will = "HOLD" and when "false" is activated the same cell will ="RELEASE". Now, when i saved this worksheet and tried to reopen it a dialog box popped up that said "the content is not readable.... excel will try to recover the content" (or something like that) so when i click "yes" to the dialog box then the sheet opens fine , however, when i save the sheet the same box pops up? Maybe there is something wrong with my formula because before i inserted the formula to the sheet the sheet worked fine.

I have a worksheet with 7 columns and I would like to read this into a 2d array. The worksheet can have as much as 50k rows.
1) is it possible to read 50k rows into a 2d array?
2) is it more efficient to read data into an array for access/manipulation as opposed to a worksheet?
3) can someone show me how to read in a worksheet with 7 cols to a 2d array?
I have setup a userform to record fuel issued to vehicles. I have a text box which I would like to use to display the last meter reading from my fuel pump. This data is stored in the last cell in column F of "Sheet1" workbook. Is it possible to read this data into my userform so when it starts it displays the last pump reading?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI understand that if I want to do sumifs with an "or" condition, I do something like
=SUM(SUMIFS(A:A,B:B, {"Condition1", Condition2"}))
I have a lot of conditions, so I'm wondering whether there's any way I can read the the conditions from cells on a worksheet, so I don't have to type them in manually. In other words, I'd like to have the things inside the "{ }" be cell refrences.
I'm trying to access/read data from a hidden WorkSheet in Excel 2003 using:
Application.Worksheets("Hidden Sheet").Activate

The accessed **** Data **** refers to another ('unhidden') WorkSheet. How can I read the data without making the WorkSheet visible to the User?
I want to read data from Notepad into Excel. I found this code on the net and have been trying to modify it for my needs:
Sub ImportText(FileName As String)
Dim X As Long
Dim FileNum As Long
Dim TotalFile As String
Dim Lines() As String
Const DataRowStart As Long = 1
Const DataColStart As Long = 1
FileNum = FreeFile
Open "C:...data.txt" For Binary As #FileNum.................
This pastes the contents of each line into 1 cell but I want to paste each value into a seperate cell. So in the attached data.txt there are 5 records each of 2 lines. For example in the 1st record I want to paste 05-693-1900 into 1 cell then 0040 in the cell to the right of that, Town A into another cell, 000000 into another cell....and so on. For the 2nd line it should be 000000000033 into one cell, AA28816 into the adjacent cell...and each remaining number into a seperate cell. I also want to leave 3 blank lines before going to the next record.data.txt
I have a worksheet with 30,000 rows. But sometimes even if I have fewer records in this worksheet(lets say 1000) worksheet shows the same 30,000 rows.And its annoying when you try to navigate using vertical scroll bar. Is there any option to re-adjust the worksheet to make it more user friendly based on number of rows in current sheet.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to open a file on a network drive...but I'm getting the following error message when it opens: "This file may be read-only, or you may be trying to access a read-only location. Or the server the document is stored on may not be responding." Now, the file itself has no rights restrictions and is not read only. It doesn't appear to be locked.
Now, there are other Excel files in the same directory which I could open fine; however, the Excel documents having the above problem all have a little black icon "appears to be a padlock" (image attached) at the bottom left hand side of the Excel file icon. I tried the following:
- Renaming
- Converting to a different file format (didn't work, it won't let me)
- Opening in notepad...etc doesn't work.
This file is dated back in 2004...do you think it's corrupt? Is there anything i can do to open or recover this?

CK Nursery and Finish Inventories.xlsxAttachment 207447
I would like the "Finish Summary by Age" tab worksheet to look like the "Nursery Master Sheet" and "Circle K 1 - CD Farms Nursery" tab worksheets. I'd like the "Finish Summary by Age" tab worksheet to cover the majority of the paper like worksheets on the other tabs.
I'm trying to make two identical worksheets in a workbook. I would like the second sheet reflect all the changes made in the first one. I thought I would simply use = but it doesn't work correctly if I add or delete rows. If I add a row between row 1 and 2 in the first sheet the formula in row 2 in the second worksheet changes from =sheet1!A2 to =sheet1!A3. The result is the same if I use absolute references which suprised me. I want the formula in row 2 to stay =sheet1!A2 whatever happens on the first sheet.
I don't care about formatting, just data are important.
The reason I want the same data on two worksheets is that the second sheet will contain some more data that should not be visible to everyone. I want to protect the second worksheet and require a password to unhide it.

When creating a drop-down list using Validation, is there any way to make the source a different worksheet in the workbook? Right now when I click on Source and select my list, it will not allow me to go to another worksheet.

We have a form that has a dropdown list of selections but many people forget choose the reasons. How can I make these required fields that HAVE to be filled in in order to print.

My company has complicated time sheets because we have several tasks that are billed differently to different people. Once a month we have to sit down and compile everything from several forms and so forth. I have created a worksheet that pulls all the numbers together so that they can simply be copied and pasted into our reports. The hope was to simply copy this worksheet into a time sheet workbook and it will pull out all of the correct numbers. Although all the time sheet workbooks are set up the same way, whenever I copy the file into another time sheet workbook the program keeps its references from the workbook it was in. Make sense? is there a formula that I can insert into an array to tell it to pull the information from the worksheet with the same name, but in the active workbook?
here is one of the equations I am working with:
{=TRANSPOSE('1st week'!A10:L48)}
so it would look something like this maybe
{=TRANSPOSE('[active workbook]1st week'!A10:L48)} but this doesn't work of course.
I have the following code that I would like to trigger when cells B26:U26 change to something other then 0 due to a formula? How was I make this happen?

We have a workbook that we create each month that has one worksheet per day of the month, labeled 12_01_2011, 12_02_2011, 12_13_2011...etc. The pages are an empty template with formulas and fields in place that we simply copy and paste the results of an SQL query into. Presently, we are copying the page manually several times over, and then manually renaming the pages with the new dates for the upcoming month.
So, here is my question. Macro that I might use that would:
1) Make a copy of the template for each day of the month.
2) Label each page in sequence with the dates for the upcoming month.
I have a spreadsheet on sheet 1 with a list of customers and their information. So on column A I have the customer number (i.e. k968, e37, p528,...), on column B i have the customer's name, on column C the street's name, on Column D the house number, on column E the zip code and finally the city on column F.
Right now there are around 600 customers in this list.
I have made a userform with a combobox in which I want to select an existing customer (pulled from the spreadsheet). On the same userform I have textboxes (customer number, name, street, number, zip, city). When I select a customer in the combobox, I want this customer's info to show up in the textboxes. I want to be able to change the info and hit Next to store the changes in the spreadsheet. When I do not select a customer from the combobox, I want to add new info in the textboxes and hit Next to store this info as a new customer. The userform also has a delete button. Then I select a customer in the combobox, this customer (and it's info) should be deleted from the spreadsheet when i hit Delete. So the spreadsheet is variable in length.
I need to figure a way to make to cells with dates equal each other if the
day,month and year are the same but are placed into a cell at different times during the day. "Making Date Now () = (06/29/09) In another cell". Therefore, A1= Now() and E11 = 06/29/09
