  1. I am trying to create a macro that will unlock a worksheet and spellcheck the sheet and lock the worksheet again. But I also want to still be able to format rows. When I use the generic macro I found online it defaults to not allowing the worksheet to allow for row formatting? And when I try to use the record macro function to do the same functions it want the password and leaves it protected with no password. Does anybody have a solution?

  5. Hello,
    I need to use VBA in a worksheet_change event instead of formula, so you can leave the cell empty ready for user interface, or when the conditions are met the value can be put in the cell automatically and protected at the same time. I am looking to autopopulate previously entered data based on the client's unique identifier. This is my formula, which works/allows for the formula to auto-populate/return data BUT it doesn not allow for data entry if there is no match/data to return once the sheet is protected?
    =IFERROR(INDEX($C$7:C7,MATCH($A$7:$A$6001,$A$7:$A$6001,0))," ")

  23. please can I have a cod to calculate the average for each 29 number of excel column with 184450 row

  24. Hello everyone, I would like to ask you for help with my problem. I think it's possible to solve it with VBA, but I'm not sure how to do it. Also, if there is a way to do it without VBA, even better.
    I exported the tasks from the Planner to Excel (did some work to filter and format the data I needed, etc.) and finally, I have a list of tasks that belong to a person. For each person, I have to manually enter the approximate time needed to complete the task, during the task that person should enter each week how many hours he spends solving the task and when the task is completed I can compare in the table the time he spends and the time I set for this assignment. This table needs to be used for a long time, and the task list changes almost every week, so I need to export new data from the scheduler every week, but save the data previously entered for some tasks. Each time an export is performed, the order of tasks in Excel changes and this is the point when a problem occurs. The time I need to specify for each task (forecast) is entered manually, for example, for the task "Task1" in A1 the forecast is entered in C1. The next time I export tasks from the Planner, it is possible that "Task 1" will no longer be in A1 (ie I added another task in the Planner and now that task is the first, so "Task 1" moves to A2), but the forecast for " Task 1 "remained in C1 (because column C is not included in exports). How to ensure that cell C1 follows the task in A1, no matter where the data from A1 is transferred? In this case, when a new export is made, the forecast from C1 should be automatically moved to C2, because the task from A1 is now to A2. I hope someone can help me. Thanks in advance, Los

  27. Hey! I am looking for a little help with a code. I am a beginner it is a little confusing..

    Change the application so that now there is no limit.

    For EG, if the strategy says to buy 30% more shares but there is not enough cash on hand to do so, the investor will now borrow the cash they need. Now the cash positions in
    columns H and J of the Model worksheet can be negative, indicating that the investor
    owes money to the lender.

    Capture the maximum the investor ever owes during the year in an extra output cell, keep
    track of it, and summarize it (including a histogram), just like all of the other outputs,
    with your VBA code.
