Protect validation but allow drop down selection
 

Hi
I would like to allow users of my spreadsheet to select from a drop down
list in cells but would like to prevent changes to the validation settings
for the cell.

I am finding that people copypaste and the validation settings for the
copied cells are added to the pasted cell.

Any help?

Cheers

Protect validation but allow drop down selection
 

Hi,
you can protect your workbook not allowing anybody to change you validation
settings. you can give access to the whole spreadsheet but the validation.
Highlight all the cell you want the user to enter information, right click in
the mouse, format cells, Protection, uncheck locked, be sure that your
validation list is locked, then protect the sheet

if this helps please click yes, thanks
