Define empty cells as ‘Input Cells’ by changing their background color and unlocking them

Freeze panes in multiple sheets

Protect All Worksheets

Data Analysis using the "Anchor Mode"

Clear User Input Cells

Task

- Clear the data in the unlocked input cells without modifying the white formula cells

(Try it first in your own way and then try the proposed Solution using MTools)

: Input Cells

: Formula Cells

Proposed Solution

1) Protect the sheet with any password (if not already protected)

2) Select the table (or the whole worksheet) <CTRL-A>

3) MTools: Protected Worksheet Tools => Clear Contents

FYI: In a protected sheet, excel cannot selectively delete the content of unlocked cells if the selected range contains any locked cell.

The yellow cells in the table below represent the "Input Cells" that the Countries have to fill out, whereas the white cells represent formulas that calculate sums and ratios (Formula Cells). To prevent the users from destroying the formulas in the "Formula Cells", the sheet is sent our protected whereas the Input Cells will be unlocked and the formula cells locked.

F9

Input Cells Input Cells are cells, that the the User has to fill out. These cells should therefore be unlocked. The User can either fill out these cells directly, lik them to another report or get the data with Lookup formulas from a Business Warehouse download. (Unlocked means that the user can modify these cells when the sheet is protected)

F10

Formula Cells Formula Cells are cells that calculate e.g. a ratio or a sum of other cells. These cells should therefore stay unmodified and need to be protected from the user. Therefore it is recommended to lock these cells. (Locked means that the user can NOT modify these cells when the sheet is protected)

The report below needs to be improved. The empty cells in the report below (e.g. D35) are the Input Cells that the User has to fill out later. Therefore these cells should be e.g. yellow to make it more obvious for the user what he has to fill out. Furthermore these input cells should be unlocked so that the user can fill them out after we protected the sheet.

- Make all empty cells in the report yellow and unlock them (Currently, all cells are locked)

1) Make sure that the sheet is unprotected and all cells in the report locked (this is already the case)

Freeze Pane in multiple sheets at once

The Reports in the Sheets "RD1" - "RD9" show different line items of the Income statement. Make them more user friendly by using the function "Freeze Panes" in cell D34.

Task

- Freeze panes in cell D34 in the sheets "RD1" - "RD9"


Proposed Solution

1) Select the Sheets "RD1" - "RD3" (<CTRL> => Click on RD1 => Click on RD3)

2) MTools: Readability Improvements => Freeze Panes

FYI: The appropriate Excel function works only on a single sheet. However, the corresponding MTools function freezes the Panes in all selected sheets.

Protect All Worksheets

Before sending the report to the users, you have to protect all sheets to make sure that they can only access the unlocked input cells.

Task

- Protect All Sheets in this workbook


Proposed Solution

=> You will get an error message because the sheets are already protected...

=> Unprotect them and try it again

FYI: The appropriate Excel function can only protect one sheet at once and not all sheets at the same time.

You have also the alternative to only protect the SELECTED sheets: MTools: => Protect or Hide => Protect Selected Worksheets

Many Excel reports consist of multiple worksheets showing the e.g. the same balance, but in each sheet for a different country. If you would like to quicky compare a specific balance sheet item country by country, then you can select that cell and activate the MTools "Anchor mode". In that mode, the following will happen: If you select e.g. cell H42 and change the sheet, then Excel will jump in the new sheet to the same cell, center it and highlight it orange (in unprotected sheets).
