Disable Drag and drop for a particular range in Worksheet

[H_gupta]

I have a worksheet A , in which I want to disable dragging functionality for a particular range of cells. for eg: D24 to D100
All other columns and cells in the sheet should be allowed to drag.

Found this code, but its for the complete workbook :

Private Sub Workbook_Activate()
Application.CellDragAndDrop = False
End Sub

Hi this post may be useful: How to disable Cell Drag and Drop for a specific workbook?
Or perhaps here: disable cell "drag and drop" for a cell/range meeting given condit

Good luck!

Thanks, i used the following code as given in the links

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim myRange As Range
Set myRange = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A5:E10")
'In above statement set your range for which you want no drag drop
If Application.Intersect(Target, myRange) Is Nothing Then
Application.CellDragAndDrop = True
Else
Application.CellDragAndDrop = False
End If
End Sub


But it isnt working !

Are you putting the code in the corresponding correct sheet module ?
Also, are you changing the target range address in the above code from "A5:E10" to "D24:D100" ?

Yes put the correct sheet name and range. What it did once was disabled the drag option for the entire sheet instead of just the range. And then the option was disabled for all other excel sheets as well.
