Fix content of cells (not allow users to change)
I want to fix all content in "row 1".
meaning, users can only update content from row 2 on wards, all headers in row 1 should not be changed. Thanks a lot, experts ! -- Allen Phailat Wongakanit |

Fix content of cells (not allow users to change)
All Cells in Excel are "locked"...that means, if you protect your
worksheet no cell can be changed. If you want to change that, select all cells you want to "unlock", right click on a cell, format cells, tab protection and uncheck "locked" then goto tools -- protection -- protect worksheet -- enter a password and maybe uncheck "select locked cells" (excel 2002 and above i think). that should do the trick. hth Carlo On Dec 21, 3:21*pm, ali wrote: I want to fix all content in "row 1". meaning, users can only update content from row 2 on wards, all headers in row 1 should not be changed.

Fix content of cells (not allow users to change)
Hi ali,
Carlo and Max both have points on how to protect cells. I have one suggestion. You can protect a single cell by these steps: 1. Click the Data on Menu bar 2. Select Validation 3. Select the settings tab 4. Change the Allow drop-down menu to Custom 5. Then type in the formula input box the data you want the cell to be accepted. I hope this one works...GoodDay!
