VBA If number in Range

[Pinaceous]

Good Day,

If I have a number in range "B11:H180" upon Sheet1, I'd like to have a message box state:

MsgBox "Cells in range!"

Then lock those cells from being edited.


How would I do this?

Thank you!

If I have a number in range "B11:H180"

Do you mean a particular number, or just any number?

Then lock those cells from being edited.

Lock which cells? The cells with the number, or the entire range?

Hey 6StringJazzer,

Do you mean a particular number, or just any number?
Any number &/or value.

Lock which cells?
The cells with the number &/or value in them and not its entire range.

There is not enough detail regarding how you want to lock the cells but I can tell you how to do it. All cells are locked by default, and when you protect a sheet, edits are not allowed in locked cells. So if you protect the sheet, all cells in the whole sheet are prevented from being edited. Therefore the cells you want to lock are already locked. This code is only useful if you have cells that you have already explicitly unlocked.

   ' unprotect the sheet to be able to lock any unlocked cells
   Sheet1.Unprotect
   
   With Sheet1.Range("B11:H180")
      Union(.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants), .SpecialCells(xlCellTypeFormulas)).Locked = True
   End With

   ' reprotect the sheet
   Sheet1.Protect
