Can I allow Additions but not Edits?
I have a workbook with lookup lists for validation in it on a sheet of their
own. I want users to be able to add and delete entries from the list but I don't want them to be able to edit existing values. Is this possible? |

Can I allow Additions but not Edits?
Hi you can do this in two ways.
1st you can either unlock the cells you want edit and then protect the sheet; this alows only the unlocked cells to be edited. Or you can allow users to edit certain ranges. How To: 1st: Select the range of cells you want only to be edited and right click, select format cells, and then under protection, unckeck the locked tick box. Then go to Tool, Protection, Protect Sheet and type in you password. 2nd: Goto Tools, Protection, then Allow user to edit ranges, then select new. Select you range. When done, protect the sheet and this again has the same effect as the 1st. "Keith" wrote: I have a workbook with lookup lists for validation in it on a sheet of their own.

Even if it were possible, you be able to edit an existing value by
deleting it, then adding the revised version. Keith wrote: I have a workbook with lookup lists for validation in it on a sheet of their own.
