How to lock cell and worksheet?
To lock all the cells in a Worksheet in EXCEL 2007 take the following action:-
1. Hit Ctrl-1 to launch Format Cells. 2. Protection tab. 3. Remove the green tick from the box called:- Locked - then hit OK. 4. Highlight all the cells in your Worksheet by clicking in the box to the left of A and above 1 in the top left hand corner. This should cause your Worksheet to become highlighted. 5. Ctrl-1 to launch Format Cells once more. 6. Protection tab. 7. Place a green tick from the box called:- Locked - then hit OK. 8. Home / Cells group / Format / Protect Sheet / place a password in the box called:- Password to unprotect sheet (I have used password called test). At this point there are 3 cells on this window that should have a green tick in them. They a- Protect worksheet and contents of locked cells Select locked cells Select unlocked cells After you have entered your password hit OK and then put the password in again in the box called:- Reenter password to proceed. - and then hit OK. Save the file at this point if required. 9. Close and re-open the file. Now try to amend any of the cells in the Worksheet and you will not be able to. Please hit Yes if my comments have helped. Thanks! (I have just run the above procedure and looks OK to me. Let me know if any probs). "Eric" wrote: Does anyone have any suggestions on how to lock cell and worksheet?
