Allow users to format that cell.

Enable "format cells"

If not using 2002 or newer you won't have this option so could use VBA code to
unprotect, do the deed then re-protect.

Hi,

I have one cell that I need to manually nudge up or down the decimal
place for by using the quick button on the top menu.

Problem is my workbook has protected sheets, and all formatting
functions vanish when you protect.

How can I allow users to change the DP in this one cell in my
protected sheet?

Currently I unprotect, change the DP and reprotect.

Cheers,

I am using Excel 2007,

The cell is unlocked as it can have a number entered into it, but I
also want to be able to change the DP of that cell.

The format menu is not available when the sheet is protected and the
cell is unlocked as you can edit the contents, just not the format.

Cheers,

Aaron.
