Locking Cells
Let me assume that I wish to protect the following range of cells D 83 to D
85 (inclusive) in a particular worksheet. In EXCEL 2007 take the following action:- 1. 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. 2. Hit Ctrl-1 to launch Format Cells. 3. Protection tab. 4. Remove the green tick from the box called:- Locked - then hit OK. 5. Highlight cells D 83 to D 85 inclusive in your Worksheet. This should cause those cells to become highlighted. 6. Ctrl-1 to launch Format Cells once more. 7. Protection tab. 8. Place a green tick from the box called:- Locked - then hit OK. 9. 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. 10. Close and re-open the file. Now try to amend any of the cells D 83 to D 85 in the Worksheet and you will not be able to. 11. Now try to amend any other cells (apart from D 83 to D 85) and you will be able to amend them. Please hit Yes if my comments have helped. Thanks!
