Put this in your worksheets SelectionChange event. this will automatically force the selection down by one row anytime it encounters a cell with a formula. You can change it to 'Target.Offset(0, 1).Select' to force a column change depending on how your woksheet flow is directed. also you may have save and close the workbook the first time to activte i

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range
If Target.Cells.Count = 1 The

End I
End Su

Hello, i have a worksheet with some formulas in it. I
have the sheet protected, but there are some cells i
cannot protect because if i do, values calculated by
formulas will not populate them. When i leave them
unprotected, there is a risk of people typing their own
value in and erasing the formula. How can i truly protect
my sheet? I want to alllow data to be populated in
certain cells, but only by formulas, not by a user typing
in whatever they want. Your help greatly appreciated.
