Make few columns of Excel file read only when downloaded

Hi Experts,
Is there any way we can set few of the columns in excel sheet as read only when downloaded from SAP.
We have requirement where a program will generate a report and download it into an excel file on desktop.  When the file is downloaded, two of its columns should be non editable.
I know complete sheet of excel can be protected using OLE, can we protect few columns also using OLE?
any idea how can it be done?

Hi Swapnil,

  • Microsoft files Read-only when sharing between two Macs

    I'm trying to share Excel files between my Macbook and my iMac. The files are located on my macbook and I've given read/write permission to the folder containing the files. When I try to open the files on my iMac they open as read only. This happens with Excel, Word and Power Point files.
    How do I configure the file sharing so I can open Microsoft files without them being Read only.
    I'm using Office:mac 2004 and both the Macbook and iMac are running OS X (10.5.6)

    There have been occassions where I have wanted to transfer something from the MBP to the Mini or vice-versa over wi-fi and have encountered problems. I suspect this is because I am using the same user account and they get confused.
    Could you please explain, what kind of problems exactly you encountered? Error messages? Corrupted files? And why do you think the problem is caused by the same user profiles?
    Like markwmsn I have no problem with sharing using the same account name on all my macs. Only since upgrading to Mt. Lion I usually use AirDrop to send single files. That saves the trouble to copy the files to a public folder.
    Do both your macs support Air Drop?

  • Excel .xls 'read only' after downloading security update

    Today all my data .xls files won't open - the message reads:
    I am able to open one .xlsx file but all the .xls will only open as 'quick view' I've recently downloaded Security Update 2015 version 1 and also updated Remote Desktop client. I restarted my macbook pro today. That's when the trouble started  I'm running Mavericks 10.9.5.
    I've tried using time machine to open older versions of files but they too cannot be accessed. I've also tried renaming the files with non-numerical names. No joy with that either.
    HELP please!!!!!

    Fixed it myself by repairing disc permissions. Embarrassed - it was an easy fix in the end.

  • How can I make Keynote files read-only (eg: to share with students)?

    I would like to share some keynote files with students, and I would like to set them up as read-only, so that the students can tap the screen, read my presentation, but not alter it.  I've tried to set the files up as read-only on my iMac desktop, but when I load the file onto my iPad, it's still editable.
    Any ideas re: how to make Keynote files read-only?
    I've tried to export the files as PDF and load them into iBook, but some of Keynote's basic "build" functions won't work this way.  Specifically, I have files set up with questions and answers (ie - a question appears, and you have to tap the screen to see the answer, but this "build" function seems to disappear when I get it to show up in iBook).
    Any ideas how to make Keynote files read-only?  I am happy to use another program, but I want the students to tap the screen in order to see the answer to a question.
    Thanks!

    as long as $PATH is set, you shouldn't need to reconnect them (i think).  if you send the list of apps through | awk -F '/' '{print $NF}' | that'll strip the path
    /edit: added the "(i think)" part

    ElMagoElGato,
    I am glad to give some help but I am still confused because we are having different experiences. I have been able to lock Tables on my mac and have that lock respected in iOS for a long while now. Easy to unlock, impossible to relock.  With the most recent upgrade I can lock tables after tapping the upper left dot to select the whole table and going to "arrange" in the paintbrush.
    When you say worksheet are you meaning the entire file? When you say file lock are you meaning password protection? You can see I am confused.
    quinn
    Based on what ElMagoElGato has described, password protecting would be of no value to him. Once the file is accessed, it is in edit mode. Unless I'm really missing something.
    Files I have imported from Mac iworks apps with elements locked stay locked for me in iOS. Not sure what the problem is.

  • A serious issue with excel file read in ODI

    hi gurus,
    Issue with excel file read is that we can read only one file by setting the path from ODBC Data Source Administrator-->System DNS -->Select Work book
    what i want to read the dynamic path(Every time I cant go back and set the Work book to select the excel file..
    So i came up with a solution to write a Vbscript that convert the excel to csv my problem got solved for dynamic paths the script is as follow:
    Set objArgs = WScript.Arguments
    For I = 0 to objArgs.Count - 1
    FullName = objArgs(I)
    FileName = Left(objArgs(I), InstrRev(objArgs(I), ".") )
    Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.application")
    set objExcelBook = objExcel.Workbooks.Open(FullName)
    objExcel.application.visible=false
    objExcel.application.displayalerts=false
    objExcelBook.SaveAs FileName & "csv",23
    objExcel.Application.Quit
    objExcel.Quit
    Set objExcel = Nothing
    set objExcelBook = Nothing
    Next
    Now this script convert the xls file to csv with comma seprated values
    e.g in excel sheet if data is ABC XYZ PQR
    csv will come with ABC,XYZ,PQR
    here the delimiter is , i want the delimiter as pipe | who's ascii code is 124
    but if i change 23 with 124 its not working i getting the error cannot save as...
    can anyone tell me that what should be the correct code for pipe
    so that the output is ABC|XYZ|PQR
    AS WE CAN USE THE SCRIPTS IN TOOLS

    I dont have the answer for your question but i have different approach in handling multiple Excel File.
    Step 1. Copy a sample source Excel File and Call it Final.xls .
    Step 2. Map this Final.xls to DSN and in Topology call this Final.xls
    Step 3. Do the Reversing and Map and test the Interface . Once its done.
    Step 4. Create a Package and using a http://odiexperts.com/?p=1426 get the list of all the Excel File
    Step 5 . Using this http://odiexperts.com/?p=273 create a Loop to Read the Excel File name
    Step 6 . Copy using OdiFileCopy to Final.xls and run your interface .
    Step 7. Increment the Loop and copy your next File for Final and run the interface
    Step 8 . Finally you will be able to read all the Excel File .
    Step 9 . Delete the source file [ Optional ]
    Hope this helps.

  • How to make few columns of single record inactive in Table conrol?

    Hi all,
    Scenario is like this : i have one table control , it is displaying 10 records , in that first four columns are editable. Now my requirement is, whenever record having intial values( suppose one record having initial values among ten) except key field , we need to deactive that particular  record , now table control  should contain ten records , but nine records are in editable state and one record in non editable state .
    How to make few columns of single record inactive in Table conrol?
    Thanks in advance.

    hi there...
    select the column that u want to convert to non editable mode in the screen layout. then double click on it. go to the attributes tab and uncheck the input chk box. the check box will become disabled for input. u can do this for any number of columns.
    if u want to do it dyanamically, loop at screen. check for the screen element's name. when itmatches the column u want to disable, simply set the input value as 0.
    dont forget to modify sscreen after setting the attribute values.
    i hope this helps.
    do reward if helpful.

  • All excel files keep opening when I open excel?

    All excel files keep opening when I open excel. I can't quit excel or Force Quit until the files stop opening.

    Dealing With The Resume Feature of Lion
    Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
    If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner.
    It is possible to completely stop the Resume feature although I'm unconvinced that it is that annoying. Nevertheless see the following:
    If you have not yet done so you must first make your /Home/Library/ folder visible. Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the prompt paste the following command line:
    chflags nohidden ~/Library
    Press RETURN. Quit the Terminal application.
    In the Finder navigate to the /Home/Library/Saved Application State/ folder. Delete the contents of the folder. Back up to the /Home/Library/ folder. Select the Saved Application State folder. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Sharing and Permissions panel at the bottom click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window.
    Quit all open programs except the Finder (this is very important.) Next, navigate to the /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ folder. Look for a .plist file with "com.apple.loginwindow." in the file name followed by some numbers in hexadecimal. Select the file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window and in the Sharing and Permissions panel click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window. If you also find a file with the same filename but with a last extension of ".lockfile," then you should delete it.
    The above should eliminate the Resume feature system-wide. Note that any future system updates or upgrades will likely undo these changes. You will then need to repeat this procedure assuming there are no major changes in OS X related to it.
