Cell Protection
I have set up a spreadsheet for the materials that my company requires. The problem I have is that I have locked a certain column of cells that hold formulas so they cannot be deleted by mistake, but I want to be able to insert rows in the middle of the list for any new materials that come in. Since each row has a protected cell in it, it won't allow me to do this. Is there any way of getting around this so rows can be inserted in the middle of the worksheet whilst keeping the protected cells and also pulling the formula down from the row above. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- Neil_Pattison ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Neil_Pattison's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=27696 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=472107 |

Good evening Neil_Pattison You don't state what version of Excel you you are using but XL2003 has this functionality: Tools Protection Protect Sheet and then check the Insert rows box.
