How to restrict editing in filled cell? i.e. lock cell in which entry already made.
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
welcome to the forum nuage

Remember to unlock the cells that user is allowed to edit beforehand
(select range \ right-click \ Format Cells \ Protection \ unckeck Locked)

Place code in sheet module
(right-click sheet tab \ View Code \ paste into code window)
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    Me.Unprotect "password"
    Target.Locked = True
    Me.Protect "password"
End Sub

Above code locks each cell after edit

Do you want this to apply to specific cells, columns etc?
- let us know

Worksheets have cells, Userforms do not

What do you want?
1. prevent further change to a value in the UserForm?

2. lock a cell in the worksheet after that cell is amended by UserForm?

3. something else (please explain)
