Default Value of one cell unlocks another

You can use data validation.

In Cell D5
Data - Validation - Custom
=D3="Yes"

Hi Guys,

I am creating a spreadsheet which is, essentially, a questionnaire.

I have a cell (D3) with a pick list in it (Yes/No and a blank to avoid false
entries). If the user selects "Yes" in this cell I need this to trigger
unlocking another cell (D5).

I need to be able to repeat this several times over throughout the
spreadsheet and the workbook (i.e. "Yes" in cell D7 will unlock D9 and the
same for D11 and D13 and so on).

Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

I have alot more functionality I wish to add but I'll come back to that
later.

Thanks All

Tel
