Unprotect cells

Hi all !
How to protect an object in numbers 09 and leave some unprotected cells to write values ?
Thanks

You can lock individual tables > Menu bar > Arrange > Lock and leave other tables on the same sheet unlocked but you cannot lock just part of a table.

Tab past locked cells in numbers?

does anyone know if you can lock individual cells in numbers? i need to be able to navigate from unlocked cell to unlocked cell avoiding all locked cells.
it's easy in excel, we use complex vlookup formulas that return information to other cells and need to protect those formula cells from accidental deletion. protecting cells is also a nice way to limit tabbed navigation to unprotected cells only.
does anyone know if i can do this with numbers, can't seem to find anything that suggest it can do it.
thanks...

Apparently cell locking is not supported. From Macworld's review:
"There are also quite a few power user features missing from Numbers, such as custom number formats, pivot tables, cell naming, *cell locking*, password protection, splitting windows, and text orientation within a cell, among others."

OLE EXCEL : how to block cells ?

Hello all,
Does anybody know which method could allow me to lock an Excel cell with OLE automation ?
Thank you in advance.
Sebastien.

Hi Sebastien
Below is an example of how to switch off the protection of a cell and then protect the worksheet.
When you enter the VBA editor [ALT]+[F11] and use the [F2] key, you can view the different methods and attributes. This is usefull to know how to call the method.
DATA: g_excel TYPE ole2_object,
      g_wbook TYPE ole2_object,
      g_sheet TYPE ole2_object,
      g_cell TYPE ole2_object.
CREATE OBJECT g_excel 'EXCEL.APPLICATION'.       "Create Excel
SET PROPERTY OF g_excel 'VISIBLE' = 1.           "Show Excel
GET PROPERTY OF g_excel 'WORKBOOKS' = g_wbook.
CALL METHOD OF g_wbook 'ADD'.                    "Add a workbook
GET PROPERTY OF g_excel 'ACTIVESHEET' = g_sheet. "Ref to sheet
GET PROPERTY OF g_excel 'ACTIVECELL' = g_cell.   "Ref to cell
SET PROPERTY OF g_cell 'LOCKED' = 0.             "Unprotect cell
SET PROPERTY OF g_cell 'VALUE' = 'Hello World'. "Some value
SET PROPERTY OF g_sheet 'PROTECT' = 1.           "Protect sheet

Locking formatting in Excel 2010

Hi guys I'd like to know if its possible to lock the down the cells in Excel 2010 but still be able to add content to them.
I want the structure of the page/worksheet to remain the same for printing but I still need others to add information to the cells.
Thanks!

It's a two-step process. By default, all cells in Excel are locked but this only becomes effective when you protect the worksheet.
1) Select the cells that the users should be able to edit.
Press Ctrl+1 to activate the Format Cells dialog.
Activate the Protection tab.
Clear the 'Locked' check box.
Click OK.
2) Activate the Review tab of the ribbon.
Click Protect Sheet.
Tick/clear check boxes to specify what the users will be allowed to do. At the very least, leave the check box 'Select unprotected cells' ticked.
If desired, specify a password (DO NOT FORGET THE PASSWORD!)
Click OK (if you specified a password, you'll have to enter it again).
Save the workbook.

Desktop Integration (DOI) Excel password

Hello all,
I am using DOI to download data from SAP to excel.    In the excel file a range of cells are protected with the method protect of the inteface   i_ oi_spreadsheet.
Everything is working fine only unprotected cells are changeable. But after the download the users want to have possibility to change the protected cells.     The excel-file is asking for a password.
In the i_oi_spreadsheet i can't find a method with password as parameter.     Is it possible to set a password with DOI?

Protect The Cells in the Excel Sheet Even After giving the password.

Hi All,
I need to protect the cells in the report even after unprotecting the sheet after giving password.
That is, i have used some excel formulas in some cells, these cells are to be protected.
In Reports using EVDRE all the cells are getting, "Locked" option selected in the Protection tab by default. Even if we change that Option and refresh the sheet Locked is getting selected again.
So once we Protect the sheet using password all cells are getting locked. But once we remove password all cells are free to enter.
I want the user of the Sheet to use only certain columns in the Sheet. and all the other columns should not be user editable.
Please help me out in solving this issue.
Thanks in Advance,
Regards,
G.Vijaya Kumar

Hi Vijaya,
I tested in my test environment and even after refresh , the range cells are still editable, they didnt get locked. I did the following:
1. Selected the range or column in Excel, then Tools - Protection - Allow users to edit range. I selected the range and gave the password.
2. Next I protected the complete sheet.
3. Now entire sheet is protected. Now again I selected the range in which I want to edit, first time it will ask for password which you gave for the range. So I gave and I was able to edit the cells.
4. I selected other cells and was not able to edit it so they are still locked.
5. I tried to refresh the report , and then I selected the range cells to edit and still I was able to edit it. Those cells didnt get locked.
So did you do the same things?
Thanks.

How to protect Excel cells while allowing VBA to modify them?

I want to allow users to modify inputs in some Unlocked cells and have the other cells update accordingly. I also want to prevent users from clobbering those other cells, so those are Locked.
Protect Sheet allows ordinary formulas in Locked cells to execute but, by default, prevents VBA functions from executing when their input cells are modified. So, after consulting the
Excel 2013 developer reference's descriptions of the Worksheet.Protect method and
Worksheet object, I added these statements to my initialization routine:
Worksheets(1).Activate
ActiveSheet.Protect "", UserInterfaceOnly = True
The 2nd statement enables Protect Sheet with a null password successfully, but the UserInterfaceOnly setting isn't having the effect I expected, i.e., allowing the VBA functions to execute when their input cells are changed. (I've noticed it seems to enable
the Allow Users to Edit Objects protection option.)
I also tried := True, but that doesn't help.

The function fails because you cannot change characteristics of a chart in a worksheet function. A worksheet function can only return a value to the cell that contains the formula.
You can use the Worksheet_Change event to modify the chart instead. The function can be simplified to
Function Show_RGB(Y, u, v, Swatch) As Variant
Dim R As Single, G As Single, B As Single
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
R = R_from_Yuv(Y, u, v)
G = G_from_Yuv(Y, u, v)
B = B_from_Yuv(Y, u, v)
Show_RGB = Array(R, G, B) ' Allow <0 and >255 in spreadsheet
ExitHandler:
Exit Function
ErrHandler:
MsgBox Err.Description, vbExclamation
Resume ExitHandler
End Function
The Worksheet_Change event procedure in the worksheet module:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim R As Single, G As Single, B As Single, Swatch As Integer
Dim rng As Range
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
If Not Intersect(Range("B3:D14"), Target) Is Nothing Then
Worksheets(1).Unprotect
For Each rng In Intersect(Range("B3:D14"), Target)
R = Cells(rng.Row, 5)
G = Cells(rng.Row, 6)
B = Cells(rng.Row, 7)
Swatch = rng.Row - 2
R = WorksheetFunction.Max(0, (WorksheetFunction.Min(255, R))) ' ...avoid runtime error when changing displayed color
G = WorksheetFunction.Max(0, (WorksheetFunction.Min(255, G)))
B = WorksheetFunction.Max(0, (WorksheetFunction.Min(255, B)))
With Worksheets(1).ChartObjects(6).Chart.SeriesCollection(1)
.Points(Swatch).MarkerBackgroundColor = RGB(R, G, B)
.DataLabels(Swatch).Font.Color = RGB(R, G, B)
End With
Next rng
End If
ExitHandler:
Worksheets(1).Protect
Exit Sub
ErrHandler:
MsgBox Err.Description, vbExclamation
Resume ExitHandler
End Sub

Cells values not updated by VBA commands

Hi.
Can you please see why the three lines under the

    Dim tblTarget As ListObject
    Dim rowNew As ListRow
   On Error GoTo FailedAddRow
    Set tblTarget = Sheets("Reservations").ListObjects("ReservationsTable")
Set rowNew = tblTarget.ListRows.Add
tblTarget.DataBodyRange.Cells(rowNew.Index, tblTarget.ListColumns("Contract").Index) = tblTarget.DataBodyRange.Cells(rowNew.Index - 1, tblTarget.ListColumns("Contract").Index) + 1

Thank you!

I set up a dummy table with same table name and column headers plus 3 named ranges for the values to be inserted and the code works fine. I suggest that if the fields are left blank then they are not getting values from the named ranges. Are you sure the
named ranges are pointing to the correct cells with the required values?
Try inserting the following lines in prior to the problem lines and then run the code and then check the Immediate window to see if the named ranges actually returning values.
Debug.Print "Default_Insurance_Fees = " & Range("Default_Insurance_Fees").Value
Debug.Print "VAT Rate = " & Range("VAT_Rate").Value
Debug.Print "Default_Commission_Rate = " & Range("Default_Commission_Rate").Value

Journals: Format cell with a comma?

BPC 5.1 SP3
Is there anyway to modify a journal schedule to format the debit/credit cells to show numeric data with a comma...instead of just one long string of numbers? The workbook is password protected which prohibits doing this. Is there another legit way?

Hi,
I think this was true in 4, not in 5. To my knowledge, you cannot modify the Journal Template and what I was told long ago (back in the OSoft days) is that if you manage to unprotect the Journal template (if you know the password I am interested) and modify it it would not be supported anymore...

Filter Ascending only on the active cell.

Hello Guys,
I was working on a macro to
Step:-
1) Unprotect Worksheet
2) Autofilter the range and then filter ascending on the active cell.
3) Protect the worksheet again
here is the code :-
Sub Filter_ActiveCell()
Dim Acell As String
Acell = ActiveCell
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="bismillah1111"
Rows("3:3").Select
Selection.AutoFilter
' Here is where the problem lies.
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Summary Sheet ").AutoFilter.Sort.SortFields.Add Key _
:=Range(Acell), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:= _
xlSortNormal
With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Summary Sheet ").AutoFilter.Sort
.Header = xlYes
.MatchCase = False
.Orientation = xlTopToBottom
.SortMethod = xlPinYin
.Apply
End With
Selection.AutoFilter
ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="bismillah1111"
End Sub
I am trying hard to understand but the variable doesn't work. this took 2 hours of mine but all in vain.
Can someone please help me in this.
Thanks,
Wasimali Bori

The line
Acell = ActiveCell
will set the variable Acell to the value of the active cell. One way to do what you want would be to set Acell to the
address of the active cell:
Acell = ActiveCell.Address
Another way would be
Sub Filter_ActiveCell()
    Dim Acell As Range
    Set Acell = ActiveCell
    ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="bismillah1111"
    Rows("3:3").Select
    Selection.AutoFilter
    ' Here is where the problem lies.
    ActiveSheet.AutoFilter.Sort.SortFields.Add Key _
        :=Acell, SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:= _
        xlSortNormal
    With ActiveSheet.AutoFilter.Sort
        .Header = xlYes
        .MatchCase = False
        .Orientation = xlTopToBottom
        .SortMethod = xlPinYin
        .Apply
    End With
    Selection.AutoFilter
    ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="bismillah1111"
End Sub

Auto Lock cell

Dear sir..
When i use your VBA Code and close my workbook after save workbook..
but again open workbook...VBA code is not working why ???

I am not really sure what the problem is but here are a few notes that might help to identify it.
If you have any code that uses the following line:
Application.EnableEvents = False
then somewhere the following line must be also be executed.
Application.EnableEvents = True
If something occurs like a code fault that prevents the line to turn events back on from running then the events will not work until after you close Excel and re-open. (Not just close the workbook; but close the Excel application.)Alternatively,
in the VBA editor, you can open the Immediate window with Ctrl and G and insert the following line and press enter to turn events back on.
Application.EnableEvents = True
If the above is not the problem then all cells in a worksheet are Locked by default and that locked status is invoked when the worksheet is protected with the password. Therefore if you want the blank cells to be unlocked so that data can still
be entered then the code needs to unlock the blank cells by using an Else in the code like the following example.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    Dim cel As Range
    ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="secret"
    For Each cel In Target
        If cel.Value <> "" Then
            cel.Locked = True
        Else
            cel.Locked = False
        End If
    Next cel
    ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="secret"
End Sub

SSAS SSRS Report Action on Cell Value w/ Embedded Single Quote Not Executing

I have configured an SSAS 2008 R2 cube SSRS ReportAction. I'm having problems when the member value for a cell has an embedded single quote, e.g. abc's. The action displays on the context menu appropriately, but when I click on the action, nothing happens.
For member values that do not have the single quote, the action works as designed. I've added a calculated ember to escape the embedded single quote by adding another single quote, e.g. abc''s, with no luck. Is there a resolution or workaround for this?

Hi Mdccuber,
According to your description, you create a reporting action in you cube, and it works fine except the members that have embedded single quote, right? In your scenario, it seems that you pass this value to the report as the parameter.
In SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS), when pass values to a report, multi-select parameters have to be placed into IN statement and SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) will do single-quote wrapping for string values automatically. In this case, the original
value that have embedded single quote will be damaged. So this action not work. You can submit a feedback at
http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/Feedback and hope it is resolved in the next release of service pack or product.

Macro to open and save as a value in a cell

How can I create a macro (I've named it Test) that will:
1.bring up the open dialogue box (to allow the user to choose a file)
2.save the file, with the file name determined by the text in cell A3 in .xlsx format
I have two pieces code that seem to work individually, but not together:
Dim strFileName As String
strFileName = Application.GetOpenFilename
If strFileName = "False" Then Exit Sub
MsgBox strFileName
ThisFile = Range("A3").Value
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=ThisFile
Thanks for the help!

Hi
With very little change, this works for me. I just declared your last variable. (thisFile)
Sub test()
    Dim strFileName As String, thisFile As String
    strFileName = Application.GetOpenFilename
    If strFileName = "False" Then Exit Sub
    MsgBox strFileName
    thisFile = Range("A3").Value
    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=thisFile

Is there any way to contact verizon with a detailed cell phone technical support question?

Is there any way to contact Verizon with a detailed cell phone technical support question? I prefer e-mail so as to provide details (like I am trying to provide here). I have tried in-store personnel (no help at all) and the web chat - they just want to see me more data instead of helping me with my basic problem!
I CAN NOT GET ANYONE FROM VERIZON TO GIVE ME ANY HELP NOR CAN I FIND A WAY TO FILE A COMPLAINT. AT THIS POINT I JUST WANT TO DROP MY VERIZON ACCOUNT BUT I'M SURE THAT IT WILL COST ME A SMALL FORTUNE TO GET OUT OF IT.
Here is my issue:
Chat transcript removed as required by the Verizon Wireless Terms of Service
BELOW IS A SCREEN COPY FROM REDDIT ABOUT SOMEONE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH A VERIZON CELL PHONE
So last night my RAZR MAXX HD did something totally bewildering by spontaneously downloading 2.6 GB of data over the course of ~ 3 hours. Fortunately I was able to catch this problem before it ended up being really expensive, but I still exceeded my 2 GB data plan by 600MB.
The Culprits:
Reddit News Free: 160 MB foreground / 0.96 GB background
Android OS: 0 MB foreground / 1.18 GB background
Several unnamed applications: ~ 350 MB
Screenshots:
The massive data spike
Android OS data usage
Reddit News Free data usage
Weird unnamed processes
Detailed timeline:
5:12 PM: Incident begins according to VZW data usage website (2.60410 GB used). This is around the last time that I used my phone at the laundromat before getting dinner and watching Game of Thrones.
8:04 PM: 50% of data allowance used (txt msg)
8:31 PM: 75% of data allowance used (txt msg)
8:58 PM: 90% of data allowance used (txt msg)
9:13 PM: 100% of data allowance used (txt msg)
10:05 PM: Got the text messages and immediately put the phone into airplane mode
10:30 PM: Took screenshots
10:45 PM: Enabled wifi, installed Kaspersky premium. Scan returned no threats.
11:00 PM: Left phone in airplane mode, went to sleep.
The questions:
What was the root cause of this issue? Did Reddit News freak out as a result of an esoteric bug or was my phone hacked?
If this was a simple Reddit News bug, then why was the Android OS also trying to use such a massive amount of background data?
What the hell are these unnamed numeric applications? I've inspected my process history and this is the first time they have ever attempted to use data.
I'm pretty sure that I can explain this situation to Verizon and get out of having to pay additional data usage fees, but I would like to know more about the problem before I get in touch with them.

All I can think is your phone may have background downloaded an OTA update, and you'd then be prompted with something like, "As update to your Android system has been downloaded, would you like to install it now?"
I do find it very odd that the update would be 2.6GB. As a rough base, the CyanogenMod 10.1 firmware for your device is well under 200MB, so unless Verizon has a ****-ton of bloatware in the update, or it had to attempt to download multiple times for some reason, it may be a stretch.
But doing a little homework, it looks like the Verizon Razr Maxx was updated to 4.1 in late March. Maybe they're still rolling it out in waves? Have you gotten the update yet?
Edit: Aaaand I just noticed you appear to be running an AOSP-based ROM, which totally rules out a carrier update being sent out.
Edit2: If you want to live dangerously, you could try running:
#kill -9 12289
That 12289 is the PID listed in your screenshot. But don't run that without fulling understanding the kill command.
The ps command could also be of use, but probably not.

[–]lechnito[S] 2 points 1 year ago
I can confirm that the phone is currently at 4.1.2 and that I wasn't prompted for an OTA update.The fact that both the Android OS and Reddit News processes were simultaneously using an extremely large amount of data is unlikely to be a coincidence...

[–]omgmrjmako/PA, deb/Carbon 3 points 1 year ago
That is very curious that the spikes happened at the same time.I'm curious. It may have put at least some of that 2.6GB somewhere. You could use a data visualizer tool to see if you can find it, which may lead to more clues.

The largest directories are:
DCIM: Normal looking photos (90,825 KB)
Android: Primarily map cache data (64,846 KB)
If it was downloading content then it did not significantly save content to storage. It's not like I have anything particularly sensitive on the phone, but the idea that it was uploading a snapshot of my data definitely makes me uncomfortable.

Yup, Digital Camera IMages and videos.Somewhere in /sdcard/Android would be my guess as to where a mysterious file would be downloaded, but if it's only 64MB, and mostly map data, I'd safely rule it out.I'm sorry, but I'm stumped here.Edit: I should mention I don't think this is malware, because unless a malicious app gained superuser access, any data it used would show under it's own apk in the data usage list, not Android OS.

Although I'm not really up to speed with the Android platform, I come from a UNIX background so I feel comfortable running commands. How do I pull up a bash terminal? Do I need to root the phone first?
permalink
parent
[–]omgmrjmako/PA, deb/Carbon 2 points 1 year ago
There's a number of terminal emulators in the Play Store that work well. You don't need a rooted phone to get to the shell as your user, but any privileged command won't execute unless you can grant it permission from the Superuser app that is installed when you root the device. So you could probably do a ps -e, but not a kill -9.

[–]lechnito[S] 1 point 1 year ago
Got it. I downloaded a terminal emulator but unfortunately those processes no longer exist.Does Android keep a generic log of system level events like /var/log/syslog?

[–]omgmrjmako/PA, deb/Carbon 2 points 1 year ago
I don't think so, and I know you'd need superuser permission to read most of the files in /var/log anyway. I'm not super familiar with how Android does its logging, but I do know that the two files of interest are the logcat and dmesg.

Want to mention here that using your settings to set your data cap (set it on your billing day), then you won't go over again.Those text messages are really unhelpful, as they send out well after the data has been used. Chances are good you hit close to the 2GB mark before you received the bulk of the messages.

Quit installing pirated apps.

That's definitely not the case here; both my PC and and Android phone are free from pirated apps.

You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse
