I have 11 worksheets in a workbook in excel. The first sheet is the main sheet, while the other 10 are set to very hidden. I am trying to create a userform that will have a list box with 10 options, with each one corresponding to a specific very hidden sheet. I want a specific sheet to become visible when the "OK" button is pressed, based on which option was selected in the list box. Please Help!
You can hide and unhide the sheets using their Visible property.

I have an excel VBA project that uses ADODB and manipulates data in an ACCDB.
I know that you can store the path for the ACCDB in a cell of the excel sheet. However I would like to know: Is there another way to store the path rather than in the sheet?
I know that if I store it in a variable, when the program closes it releases the variable.
If you ask me why I want this, it's more because I want the code not being too dependent in the front-end of the excel, as some unskilled people will also use this project.
Perhaps there is a more professional or known way to store folder or file paths?
You can store it in a Custom Document Property.
Or in a Name using the Name Manager.
Or in a cell of a hidden Worksheet.

I am using excel 15.37 on Macbook pro. I want to track changes in my excel. I tried the method mentioned in https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Turn-change-tracking-on-or-off-96169f55-89c3-4fe4-a502-333e426ba9b1 but I do not find the same options because of Macbook version of excel.
The options are available but it is different than the excel in Window. Go to Tools and then Track Changes. You can highlight changes if you want.

I am trying to make a workbook that automatically updates when it is saved or completely live, to be used almost like a google doc sheet but it needs to be on excel. But it needs to be viewed or edited by multiple people at the same time. It needs to be done on share point. Thanks
Depends on your version of SharePoint. With SharePoint 365, which is online, files can be edited in Excel Online, which allows co-authoring by multiple people.
For on-premises farms you can use the Excel Web App, which also allows simultaneous editing by multiple people.

I have a spreadsheet that I'm using as a template to get user input. When you press the submit button on the spreadsheet, it sends the data to a different workbook that stores all the previous entries and then clears the template. Is there a way to save the template as a different file when you push the button? I know about .Saveas(), but I want a file name that's based off what was typed in cell A2 and B2?
I do this on a daily basis saving the file as the previous days date. I modified what I use for what you are wanting:
dim name as string
name = Cells(1,2).Value & Cells(2,2).Value
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs() Filename:=name

This may seem to be a very simple question for a number of Excel users out there. Yes, I admit I am ignorant about this.
The question is quite simple.
How do I prevent manual re-sizing of a cell in Excel? In other words the user should not be able to change either the width or height of a cell / range of cells
Is this done through writing VBA code? Or can it be carried out in any other way using standard Excel menu based commands?
Thanks in advance

You will need to 'Protect' the sheet
There are two steps:
Make sure the cells are locked
Protect the sheet
In Excel 2010
Select the cells you want to prevent from being resized.
Click on the Home tab and click to expand the Font section
Select the Protection tab and make sure that the Locked box is ticked
Click on the Review tab and then Protect sheet
Click on the OK button
You can lock the spreadsheet. That would prevent the user from resizing the Columns or the Rows.
