cell protection

Good day, I have an issue where I need to import data into a single column of an excel sheet. Column "B". I have formulas set up to extract to the right of the column. We have had instances of clerical staff typing into and ruining those formulas in the past. I protected only the columns with...

Hello all, I'm new to this board and hope you can help me with this question: I wanted to lock and unlock a cell via Excel function rather than VBA or manually. So I found (at least I think) an Excel 4 macro for that, namely CELL.PROTECTION(locked, hidden) The help says: However, when I...

First of all, thanks for taking the time to read and consider this question! I am very new to using VBA in Excel, and am feeling my way around the language. I have come across a situation in which I am not sure how to approach the problem for a solution. Scenario part 1: I have timesheets...

Good Afternoon, I was tasked with making a "logbook" document that would act much like pen and paper. I've gotten a macro to add a new line to the top of the worksheet (keeping the most recent entry on top so the user doesn't have to scroll down hundreds of rows to add a new entry). That same...

Hi, Is there a way in which I could protect A1:A5 and C1:C5 in different sheets? It is quite tedious to select multiple ranges like this and allow specific users to edit these ranges and that too in different sheets. Please let me know if there is a better way to do it. Regards, Siddharth

Hi all, first post here. i'm Wonky1 from winkywankywoo (lol?), and although i've had a little experience with Excel, i'm a complete novice with vba. Using Excel 2007 and Windows Vista, i've been trying to find a way of temporarily protecting a cell if it has a certain value, until a different...

:confused:sir, is it possible to lock(protect)sheet except perticular cell. in a sheet there are so many formulas and functions. these functions gives result by chnaging values of perticular cell so other cells should be protected from user. :) thanks shrikant sinnur

I would like to protect the formatting of some cells where I copy data from another worksheet but don't want that particular format in the current worksheet. How do I do this? I have tried Conditional Formatting but this doesn't work. I just want to enter in text and not change the template...
