Protect Cells But Allow Row And Column Deleting?

Nov 15, 2013

Can I protect cells so that people can't change them, but at the same time they are able to delete rows and columns?

If I remove the locking and use hide only then the cell why go empty if someone double cliks it.

Feb 22, 2013

I've attached the sheet I'm working with. I need to delete most of column F and shift the rows to the left, but when I delete the cells it doesn't give me a prompt to shift the row, it just deletes the entire column or individual row. I need them to shift, what can I do?

How To Protect Formula Cells But Allow Access To Data Cells

Dec 22, 2011

I try this method but data entry not allowed

Here is a scenario to protect

formula cells but allow access to data cells:

. Select all cells in the worksheet by clicking on the top left corner of the sheet.

. On the Format menu Click Cells.

. Click on the Protection tab.

. Uncheck the Locked and

Hidden check boxes, then click OK.

These four steps will make all cells in the worksheet unprotected and can therefor be modified. Next step is to
protect the formula cells, and here is how we do it:

. Select all cells that have formulas.

. On the Format menu Click Cells.

. Click on the Protection tab.

. Check the Locked and Hidden check boxes, then click OK.

. On the Tools menu click

Protection and select Protect sheet

Macro Optimization And Moving Text From One Column To Another And Deleting Previous Column

Nov 7, 2009

I am running Win XP and Excel 2003.

I have a macro I found here on the boards written by Lenze to delete an entire row based on what is found in column A. I would like to delete any row where Col. B contains 10 or less characters and I have modified it to do so (or at least I think it does). My problem is that it takes about 12 minutes to run the macro (I have about 50k lines to run through). I was wondering if this is the fastest method or if it examines things other than just column B.

Sub Test()
Dim i As Long
LR = Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
For i = LR To 2 Step -1
If Len(Cells(i, "B")) < 11 Then Cells(i, "B").EntireRow.Delete
Next i
End Sub
After this runs, I am left with Columns A to somewhere around AH. The columns are generally in the format of text followed by a numeric column. An individual text column has the same name through all of the rows. The numeric columns have varied values whether negative or positive.
Ideally what I would like: If a given cell (ie. C2) in Row 2 is numeric, then copy the cell to the left (ie. B2) into (ie. C1) and then delete Column B. I need this to work for multiple columns from B to C, skip D and E, and then from F to AG (and maybe beyond).

Protect Cells From Format Changes Only

Sep 14, 2006

I know how to protect a sheet and unlock some cells, but how can I lock the format of ALL cells while still allowing users to enter information? Ifve been instructing people to Paste Special &#61664; Values, but of course itfs more difficult. For example, Ifd like to protect a sheet but allow cells B2:C2 to be editable in value only &#8211; NOT in format. I tried searching the forum for a solution but was unable to find anything.

Protect Individual Cells?

Mar 17, 2007

I am running a loop that changes the value in one cell at a time. Since this is for our entire company, I am trying to make it "idiot-proof" like most of you have done.
While in the loop, I want to unprotect a cell, change the value, then reprotect the cell. But the rest of the worksheet is going to be unprotected for now. is that possible? Or do I have to protect the whole sheet, and then .Unprotect the whole sheet first and then. Protect it at the end of the macro.

Lock/Protect Select Cells Only

Apr 17, 2008

In the attached example, I have two fields. In the first (top), I have fields I want the user to be able to enter data (revenue/weight/skids). The information at the bottom is generated by formulas that act on the user-provided data and display the results at the bottom. The key, though, is keeping Excel-ignorant users from inadvertantly destroying the formulas and data in the middle section. I still need to display the results at each step, though, so hiding those middle fields is not an option. How can I lock only some cells within a single spreadsheet like this?

Macro To Protect Cells Based On Formatting

Mar 11, 2014

I build a lot of spreadsheets at work that I email out and the person I send them too has to enter information in the cells highlighted in yellow. Since not many of the end users are too computer savvy I lock and protect all the cells that they shouldn't be changing.

This can take forever, is there any way to have all the cells in a worksheet become locked and protected based on the formatting they have? All cells that aren't yellow?
