If you change the setting to Formulas, then you just reverse the problem and
the numbers won't get changed.


Sub Zeros_for_New_Input()
Dim rng As Range, cell As Range
On Error Resume Next
Set rng = Range("Input_area").SpecialCells(xlConstants, _
xlNumbers)
On Error GoTo 0
If Not rng Is Nothing Then
For Each cell In rng
If cell.Locked = False Then
cell.Value = 0
End If
Next
End If
Set rng = Nothing
Set rng = Range("Input_area").SpecialCells(xlFormulas, _
xlNumbers)
On Error GoTo 0
If Not rng Is Nothing Then
For Each cell In rng
If cell.Locked = False Then
cell.Value = 0
End If
Next
End If

End Sub

Your "SpecialCells" setting is set to values, change it to
formulas and you should be okay.

-----Original Message-----
The macro below is one someone in this forum helped me to
start. And it works all the time except for the following
condition. Apparently a cell can be unlocked, but if
there
is a numeric formula such as 1 + 2, then this macro
refuses to override that formula with the value of zero.
However, if I have unlocked the cell, I want the zero
value in there when I run this macro. So, how do I need
to
change this macro to make the work the way I want it?

Thanks,


Bruce
