Hi,

I'm new to VBA / Macro and need your help on how to prevent the Excel workbook from saving if any cell(s) in a column has a FALSE result from the formula executed in those cells.
The workbook can only be saved if all the cells in this column have TRUE result.

Thank you for your assistance.

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
Try this module in ThisWorkbook (substituting Sheet! and A:A):

Code:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)


   If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Sheets("Sheet1").Columns("A:A"), False) >= 1 Then
      MsgBox "Cannot Save at this time"
      Cancel = True
   End If


End Sub
