Hello!
I'm trying to figure out where I'm going wrong with my code. Basically I want my code to decide what protections to initiate and how to proceed based on the data in column C on the 'LOA' tab. My table starts at A8 (headers) and is dynamic. My code should be allowing user entry from C9 to last row and only allowing users to edit columns A-B & H-O if there is data selected in Column C for that row. I had to adjust some of the ranges and that's where I started receiving the error. My original code allowed users to edit the headers because there was data in C8 so I tried to update the code to prevent that.
My current code is below:
My old code that worked is below:
I'm also trying to add code that will delete all of the data in a row (without removing data validations or formatting) when the data in Column C is deleted. I tried the following code, but I wasn't sure how to implement it.
I'm very much a novice when it comes to VBA, but I love the customizability and am trying to learn more. If you have any other advice it would be very much appreciated!
