Excel Shared Workbook - VBA issue

Hello,

I have created a shared workbook which allows users to enter data through a user form and then run reports based on that data.

There are about 20 users who update information at the same time and I have made sure that each person has their own allocated data tab so I don't get any save changes issues.

To prevent any corruption, I would like to know if there is any code to count the number of users in a file and if there are already say 10 people in the file, a message box will appear to say that they can't update at the moment and to try again in 5 mins.

Is this possible?

Thank you,

Sharon.

RE: Excel Shared Workbook - VBA issue

Hello Sharon

Thank you for your post, it has taken us longer to get back to you as a few of us have had a review.

Our thoughts are that most likely we can find a solution for you but it is beyond the scope of this forum. Your type of request falls more into consultancy area as we would need to have a look at your working files.

If a solution presents itself we will advise you on how much trainer development time will be required and associated costs.

Should you wish to progress this please do reply to my email.

Kind regards

Jacob

Excel tip:

Convert Text to Columns in Excel 2010

If you have a cell in your Excel spreadsheet that contains a lot of text and you want to divide it into separate columns, this can only be done if there is a logical character which separates the text, for example, a comma.

Select the cells you would like to convert. On the Data tab, click Text to Columns. Choose the format of your current data.

Select Delimited if the text contains a logical character otherwise select Fixed Width if there are a certain number of spaces between each field.

Click Next when a preview of the data appears. Then select the type of character that separates the various fields. If the character is not listed, select Other and enter the character.

Click Next again and then choose the format for each of the columns. Select the column heading in the Data preview and then select a data type from the Column data format options.

Click Finish and the text will appear in several columns.
