formating cells
I have a worksheet that completes very simple functions, such as keeping
track of time accrued over a one month period. the cells will not allow me to enter fractions or numbers less than one. When I enter ".75", I get the error screen "you must enter a whole number greater than zero." The interesting thing is that while the error screen is up, the calculations that I have programmed (simple formula of adding across a row). When I hit the cancel button, the data is removed from the cell. I have tried all of the types of formatting cells and continually come across the same error message. Can someone direct me in the right direction? Is this just a strange glitch? i have done a moderate amount of Excel work and have never run into this....thank you |

Thank you so much!!!! I was never aware that function was present. I intend
on distributing this program to a bunch of individuals that are not familiar with excel, that will need to enter data. I fear that they will do something wrong and hit the delete button and erase the formulas that belong to that cell. Will locking it stop that from happening, or will I need to inservice everyone? thank you once again "Jake in PGH" wrote: I have a worksheet that completes very simple functions, such as keeping track of time accrued over a one month period. the cells will not allow me to enter fractions or numbers less than one.

No, locking should prevent that quite well.
