Protecting specific columns within a worksheet
Hi,
I am using EXCEL 2003 and have been trying to protect the first 3 columns in a worksheet so that no one can inadvertently change or delete the data. However, when I do what "HELP" recommends all formatting is turned off for the rest of the worksheet, i.e. bold, font color, etc. Is there a way to protect specific columns from any input while at the same time allowing the remaining columns to be formated in a single worksheet? -- Deb |
Protecting specific columns within a worksheet
As default, excel will protect all cells on the worksheet, as you need to
protect just columns a, b and c, you should: - seletct columns D until IV - right click -- Format Celss -- Protections tab -- uncheck Locked box. - now the range d1:iv65536 will not protected when you proteced the sheet. Tools - Protection. have notice passwords are easy broken.. hth -- regards from Brazil Thanks in advance for your feedback.
