Protect Formula But Allow Input
May 25, 2009
I was wondering how you can protect a formula but still allow editing in the cell. Right now I have certain columns locked while allowing others to be edited. I have a formula in one column that needs to be edited if need be but if they make a mistake and hit delete then my formula disappears and it throws the whole sheet off. Is there a way to protect your formula maybe by putting it in a different cell that can be locked and referencing the cell where they can input?

I have a macro that transfer data from one sheet to another (I have sheets called Form and Sent). Basically, the users enters data in the Form Sheet. After they're done, the data gets transferred to the Sent Sheet. I don't want users to be able to modify the data in the Sent sheet. I just want them to see the records. Also, i want the sheet protected from having users manually inputting datas. I can't accomplish this when I protect the sheet, since it is giving me an error while running the macro to transfer data. Is there a workaround?

Have a worksheet that will be used multiple times. User will enter name and employee number only on the first instance that the worksheet is opened. Would like to protect that info automatically for further usage. Most of the worksheet is protected but some cells need to remain unlocked so the "whole" sheet protection will not work.
How do I protect only specified cells, say F3, G3, H3, I3, after the user enters data thru an input box without changing any other protected cells on the sheet?

Is it possible to protect an inserted text box from being moved, stretched, etc. while allowing data input into the cell/s? I'm using a 2003 version of excel.
I've attached the sheet in question. The yellow text boxes are what I want to lock, yet still allow data input.

I am working on my spreadsheet and was wondering if anyone knows if cells can be Protected or Unprotected based on the value of another cell?
Here is what I am looking for:
If cell "A16" on the "Input Sheet" equals AR then Protect Cells J16, K16, L16, M16, N16, and O16
If the value of A16 on the Input Sheet DOES NOT equal AR then leave those cells unprotected.
Has anyone ever done anything like this? On my spreadsheet it would allow the user to skip the unnecessary cells as opposed to having to Tab through them. Not a big deal but definitely would be a time saver and a lot more user friendly.
If you have any questions or concerns just let me know. I will wait to see what the Excel Guru's come up with.

Is there a way to protect some cells of a spreadsheet from user input (by typing only), yet letting button controls and VBA macros modify the values of those cells?
I need to prevent users from accidentally deleting formulas or values generated by VBA macros or controls, although they may delete values in some cells.

I am trying to create a macro which gives me an input box. I need to enter 2 numbers into the input box. It would be as follows:
Input Box Msg 1 - "What is your labor cost?" (NUM1)
Input Box Msg 2 - "What is your productivity rate?" (NUM2)
Then I need the macro to take this info and enter it into a formula which changes according to the row which you are on. (I need the macro to work based on which ever cell I currently have selected). The formula would be this if I currently had a cell on row 10 selected:
=(NUM1*(NUM2*$H10))/$H10
So, if I currently had cell L10 selected, and I ran the macro and put 100 in for "NUM1" and 10 for "NUM2" and my sheet had 20 in cell H10, then the macro would enter the number 1,000 into cell L10. If I had L500 selected, then the macro would enter the final number into cell L500 based on what value H500 contained.

I need help with a macro that allows users to put only numbers from a range of 0 to 100 and the only text allowed must be "NA" in an Excel sheet. I know that I can protect the cells from being erased and all but my main issue is that my users are putting all kinds of text values instead of NA or numbers above 100 making my life harder than it is.

Some sensitive data is held on worksheets that are used by people that do not have access to see the data.
It would be most convenient to keep the data in these worksheets but hide it from view of the users.
Is there a way to password protect a users ability to unhide a column?

I have compiled a spreadsheet for my co-workers with basic formulas. I would like to know how to protect the formula from being accidently deleted. My spreadsheet now will calculate what is needed but if someone accidently clicks on the cell containing the formula and clears or backspaces it erases this formula. I'm sure there is a way to prevent this.

I need to create a macro to where once a cell has had a formula or data inputed that it locks afterwards and cannot be edited without unportecting the sheet or not at all. The problem is I have no idea how to program in VBA. I can get there and select the worksheet but after that I am stumped. How would I enter the macro and what should the macro look like?

I'm having some trouble trying to get excel to input a formula into a cell. I'm still a novice at VBA right now, so I don't think my problem will be too much of a brain buster.
I want a formula in Cell A6 (and I already know it correctly works) in this format: =E6&VLOOKUP(I6,'FA-Fund Data'!B$1:C$2000,2,FALSE)&J6

I have a sheet that is password protected. I have this code attached to a command button. It will unlock the worksheet, autofilter it, print it, unfilter it, and password protect the sheet again. However it is protecting it without a password. I need to have it protected with the password so that someone will not be able to just go to tools to unprotect the sheet.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
ActiveSheet.Unprotect "rainforest"
Columns("O:O").Select
Selection.AutoFilter
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:=">0", Operator:=xlAnd
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, Collate:=True
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=1
Selection.AutoFilter
ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True _
, AllowSorting:=True, AllowFiltering:=True
End Sub

I'm using Excel 2007 and the sheet has 238536 rows containing 26412 ranges.
The first 5 rows in each range contains data. I wish to input into the sixth cell of every range a formula. Not essential but I'd prefer it to be formatted blue.
I attach short s/s to illustrate my need.

i need a macro to insert the formula i have in Column M row 3, and insert it all the way down to the last letter that is contained in column k. So in this example The Last Letter in Column K is AQ, ( i dont physically mean last i mean last in alphabetical order in excel , such as ( W X Y Z, AB, AC , AD ) AD would be last.
So since AQ is last it would insert the formula 43 times, which is AQ. THe AFter tab should clear any confusion up because this is how it looks finished. I use various sheets like this so the last letter changes, so having this macro be dynamic and not attached to a sheet name would be ideal.

I have the following (intense) formula
=SUMPRODUCT(--ISNUMBER(SEARCH(MID(A5,{1,4,8,12,16},3),B5)))>=3
I was wanting to make either 3 input boxes or 1 if thats possible that basically you click and it captures the column you want the answer in, and then the two columns the data is in. It then places the formula down in that column with the answers based on what your input was.
I would want the range to be atleast 1 to 6000 rows (just in case)

I would like a cell to have user input. If there is no input then the cell should reference a value in another cell. My strategy was to use a formula in another cell to check to see if the user input cell was empty. If it was empty then the formula propagated the cell. If it had user inputted data then it stayed like it was.
Here is an example:
Begin Invent
1000
Gallons
End Invent
User input or
formula here
Gallons
Received
Gallons
Used
Gallons
I want the user to be able to input a value for the End Invent cell right below 1000. If there is no value I want that same cell to mirror the cell above it with the 1000 in it.

I am currently building a template for a project that will allow users to upload raw data which is then converted into a report. Part of this report is a cover page that has a graphic or picture on the front. My question to everyone is this...
Is there a way to put a formula either embeded into the picture, or above the picture, or putting the picture in the background so that the formula can do its beautiful magic and collect the information it needs for the cover?
My goal is for this picture to have the data on top of it without a border so the picture is the background image basically.

In column H: =IF(ISERROR(L4-J4-K4),"",IF(OR(K4="0", K4=""), L4-J4, L4-J4-K4))
So, if formula is going to come up with an error, I don't need to know. If it's not an error: L - J - K. Except that sometimes there isn't information in J or K, and the formula won't calcluate L - 0 - 0, unless I physically enter in zeros.
=IF(ISERROR(L4-J4-K4),"",IF(K4=""), L4-J4, L4-J4-K4))
and
=IF(ISERROR(L4-J4-K4),"", L4-J4-K4))
I don't want the people using this to have to enter in a plethora of zeros in order to force the calculation. What am I doing wrong? I've attached workbook with the relevant information in it. You can see in the middle that if there is nothing entered, it won't work right.

I have a table with 4 radio buttons that assume certain data in three cells when they are selected. I have used the IF command to getthe information to appear in these boxes when the cooresponding radio button is selected.
I want the user to be able to either leave the selection as it is presented to them, have the option to change the data if it doesn't fit their scenerio.
Example: button 1 "Electric" makes the data "$0.12", "$per kWh", & "100%" appear in the three cells. Each button produces different data in these boxes, however if when button 1 is selected, the user's electric cost per kWh is $0.10, I want them to be able to type that in without changing my preset default.

I have a column of hours spent working on a particular task, but I only want to add the hours that fall within a two week reporting period.
Is it correct to use the SUMIF formula? If so how do I write the formula to include the date range desired? Would it go under 'criteria'?

I often have to research long sheets of data, which requires filling data in on my research sheet from several different sources. The research sheet has a file # in A and a vendor # in C. The data sources have the file #s & vendor #s in varying columns, but I use a pivot table to end up with file # in A, vendor # in B and the needed data in C.
The length of the research sheet varies from month to month - often 800-900 rows, so you can imagine how tedious it is to find the correct file #/vendor # combination to plug the data in. (Many of the rows on the research sheet will not have a row on the data source sheet.)
I managed to get an array formula in one of the columns on the research sheet that actually DOES work:
Code:
{=INDEX('Acct Activity'!C$1:C$7,MATCH(A7&C7,'Acct Activity'!A$1:A$7&'Acct Activity'!B$1:B$7,0))}
But the problem is that it returns #N/A in any row that doesn't have any data. This messes up the sum formula in the farthest right column. So, I tried to incorporate an ISERROR in with the formula, but couldn't get it to work; it left all the cells blank.
In the meantime, I got to thinking that, since there are up to 3 columns requiring data on the research sheet & each column's data comes from a different source, wouldn't it be great to have a macro where I could use a couple of Input Boxes: 1 that would let me click on the column where the data NEEDS to go & 1 that would let me tell it (either by typing the worksheet name or by clicking on the worksheet " PREFERRED " where the data come from)!
So, I spent the entire day yesterday trying to make any of that work & can NOT figure it out! I got the macro to pop up the first input box, & can key in the column letter, but clicking OK doesn't do anything. Yesterday, I had it so I could click OK & the box would go away, but nothing else happened & the second box wouldn't work right.
THEN, I started trying to figure out how to do an array formula in a macro & my head nearly exploded! I have a terrible time trying to understand written descriptions if they're in "tech speak", so it was all greek to me.
Here is all the farther I got with the macro:
Code:
Sub ClearingRsch()
' Jenny 10092011
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = False
.EnableEvents = False
.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
.DisplayAlerts = False
[Code] ......
