Download and open the file named Exp19_Excel_Ch12_ML1_HW_MembershipDues.xlsx. After opening, delete the template text in cell A1 and type "Membership Dues". Remove column L entirely. Select the range A1:L7 and clear all data validation settings within this range. Add a comment to cell A1 with the text “Unprotect the worksheet before editing.”, including the period and without quotation marks.

Use the Macro Recorder to create a macro named Sort that sorts the records in ascending order based on the current selection, ensuring to use relative references during recording. Then, ensure the Developer Tab is enabled. Insert a Form Control Button within the cell range C1:D1, label it "Sort", and assign the Sort macro to this button.

Open the VBA Editor and insert a new module named Unprotect. Enter the following code:

Sub Unprotect()


‘Unprotect Sheet


Worksheets("Member List").Unprotect.Password = "eXploring"

Next, insert another module named Protect and enter:

Sub Protect()


‘Protect Sheet


Worksheets("Member List").Protect.Password= "eXploring"

Exit the VBA Editor. Insert a Form Control Button labeled "Unprotect" in cell B1 and assign the Unprotect macro. Then, insert a similar button labeled "Protect" in cell E1, assigning the Protect macro.

Use the Document Inspector to remove hidden issues by deleting Document Properties and Personal Information, as well as Headers and Footers, while retaining Comments and Macro information. If using a Mac, skip this step. Then, check for accessibility and compatibility with Excel 2010, 2013, and 2016.

Add a new worksheet named "Code". Using the VBA Editor, open Module 1, copy the code from that module, and paste it into cell A1 of the "Code" worksheet. Remove any blank rows that appear (rows 2, 4, 5, and 6). Repeat this process for the Protect and Unprotect modules, pasting their respective codes starting in cells A17 and A22, and removing any unnecessary blank rows after pasting.

Save the workbook as a macro-free Excel file (.xlsx), close it, then exit Excel. Submit the completed file as instructed.

Paper For Above instruction

Effective management of membership dues is a critical aspect of organizational administration, requiring accuracy, efficiency, and security. The Excel project outlined emphasizes essential skills such as data validation, macro creation, VBA scripting, and document security to streamline the process of managing membership dues transactions and records.

Initially, the procedure involves preparing the worksheet by editing the header and removing irrelevant data validation, ensuring the data structure is flexible and unencumbered by restrictive input constraints. The deletion of a specific column (L) signifies the need to customize the dataset to align with organizational requirements, removing unnecessary information that does not contribute to the dues management process.

Commenting in cell A1 serves as an instructional reminder for users to unprotect the worksheet before editing, thereby maintaining data integrity and preventing unauthorized modifications. Recording a macro named "Sort" that sorts data ascendingly ensures automation for data organization, enabling efficient handling of large datasets. The inclusion of a form control button for the sorting macro enhances user interaction and operational simplicity.

VBA scripting is a focus, with two modules—Unprotect and Protect—containing macros to unprotect and protect the worksheet with a password, ensuring data security. Assigning these macros to respective form buttons provides a straightforward interface for authorized personnel to lock and unlock the worksheet as needed, which helps prevent accidental or malicious data alterations.

Subsequently, the use of the Document Inspector enhances document security by removing hidden data and personal information while allowing comments and macros. This step ensures compliance with privacy standards and organizational policies during sharing or submission. Compatibility checks with various Excel versions guarantee functional consistency across different user environments.

The creation of a dedicated "Code" worksheet and importing VBA code modules streamline the organization's codebase, enabling easier maintenance and review. Pasting code into specific cells and removing superfluous blank rows improve readability and facilitate troubleshooting or future updates.

Similarly, saving the final workbook as a standard Excel file (.xlsx) ensures compatibility and prevents macros from executing inadvertently, aligning with organizational policies for distributing secure and stable documents. The successful execution of these procedures results in a robust, user-friendly, and secure dues management workbook capable of efficient operation and thorough administrative oversight.

In conclusion, mastering these VBA techniques, worksheet controls, and document security features within Excel facilitates effective organizational management. They not only improve operational efficiency but also uphold data security and integrity, which are vital in handling sensitive financial information like membership dues.
