I have two sheets in an XLS file. 1st Sheet pulls up some data from web and updated. 2nd Sheet is analysis of the data in Sheet-1.
Now whenever I refresh data in sheet-1, the data in cells in Sheet-2 automatically refreshes. I want to stop this. I want to cells become inactive in Sheet-2 and thus don't have any impact of refresh and their values remains the same even after refresh.
How, is this possible? In other words, when I refresh I want to see the previous analysis and new analysis both. But when I refresh the same, the previous data is lost.
Disable automatic calculation (file / options / formulas), i.e. choose "Manual calculation".
Activate the import sheet that loads data from web. Calculate (i.e. refresh) this sheet only (Menu: Formulas / Calculate Sheet).
Now, the import sheet should be up to date, but the second sheet should still show the old values.
To finally synchronize both sheets again, either activae automatic calculation, or just press (forces workbook calculation incl. all sheets).

I have a planningsheet where operators are planned each day on each machine. On all machines each day are a certain operators planned. The selection of the operators is based on a skillsmatrix (data validation).
When I protect the sheet I can unlock those cells but it is still possible to copy and put the validation on another cell. (then are the requirements for that machine not correct)
So is it possible to protect a sheet, use only the data validation (dropdown) and copying, cutting, formatting cells,.. is not possible?
I have a large file with a Scenario Manager, where changing a single cell on the Summary worksheet changes the visible scenario throughout the rest of the workbook. Data Tables are working a treat providing the headline values for each option.
I'd like to have a drop down on each sheet that when changed will change the same single cell on the Summary worksheet, so I don't need to go back to the Summary sheet every time I want to switch visible scenarios.
This is a simple process if I'm using macros and would be the solution I'd normally jump straight to. But this needs to be done without macros and this is where I'm now struggling.
Does anyone know if this is possible (without macros) and point me in the right direction?

You can insert combo box (Developer Tab > Insert > Form Controls > Combo Box) on each sheet. Mention linked cell as a cell of the summary sheet (Absolute reference with sheet name). That cell will give you index of the item selected in the drop down list. Then you can insert index formula in the cell you want to change every time to get value of the drop down list. Once you insert it on one sheet you can copy it to other sheets. No macros required.
I have a workbook which contains many formulas. Up until a few days ago whenever source data was manually updated all the calculated values in cells containing formulas also automatically refreshed. In order to get calculated values to now refresh we have to click CTRL-S to save the sheet - then all the values update. Does anyone is there is a workbook setting that controls whether calculated values refresh in real-time when source value cells change or only upon saving?

Set to Automatic. See screenshot below.
If it's already set to Automatic, then you may have some VBA messing this up somewhere.
I have a button in access that runs queries and dumps the info into an Access table, then that table is used to populate an excel sheet. This excel sheet is then linked to a 2nd worksheet (B) that has the formatting needed to submit for state reporting. I am having an issue that I need to fix with my process.
I have a record count- currently on the top of the formatted worksheet, but it has to be at the bottom of my formatted worksheet- it needs to be in the A column on the row after the last entry. How do I do this as since there's no set row to show record count? 1 report it may be 5, next report may be 35 rows.
I do the record count from the original (un-formatted) excel sheet that has the data dumped from Access, so it's accurate. I just need help moving it! end
Thanks.
In Access and Excel 2013, I am simply trying to import an Excel tab into Access. For some reason, Access is importing all 1,048,575 rows, but only the 42 columns I have in the Excel sheet. I am positive (through several methods and attempts) that there are no blank cells or random data entered into an obscure cell - its clean. Does anyone know why Access is bringing every row in? I have let Access dictate the primary key, created my own, added a column, etc - still brings in every row.
I appreciate the help.
Deleting (right click delete) all cells below the data, within the populated rows, configures the Used Range to the cells that contain data, rather than the final cell in the worksheet in Excel.
