Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
You can try this code:
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Set Target = Range("A1")
If Target <> "" Then
Target.Locked = True
End If
End Sub
but it works only if worksheet is protect.
