TEXT TO COLUMNS PROTECTED SHEET
 

I want to protect a worksheet, some cell locked some not. I know how to do
that but when the sheet is protected €œText to Columns€� is disabled. I need to
use €œText to Columns€� in the unlocked cells. Is there a way to do this?

I'm guessing that excel disables that feature, since it won't know how many
cells need to be unlocked for your data|text to columns to work correctly.

But if you're always doing the same data|text to columns, maybe you could record
a macro when you do it once.

Then edit that macro so that it unprotects the worksheet, does the text to
columns, then reprotects the worksheet.
