My workbook (which will be available to the user as a template) will be
designed to analyze new investments and will include a "control panel," i.e.
a worksheet where the user will enter, among others, the project name,
whether certain industry segments are involved, certain financial hurdle
rates, whether or not the project involves an acquisition of a going concern,
etc. etc. These data entries will either be used in calculations elsewhere
in the workbook or trigger certain actions (I will probably use checkboxes to
hide or unhide certain worksheets, depending on some of the selections made.)
My question is whether I can force the user to make at least one entry in
the “control panel” before allowing any other actions elsewhere in the
workbook. My thinking is that if I can force them to make at least one entry
in the “control panel,” I can display exhortations asking them to complete it
in full.
Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?
