Lock Cell based on another cell value

Lock Cell based on another cell value

(OP)
I have some conditions in my calculations that I want to make a bit more user friendly.  I have conditional formatting set up to make the user choice visibly obvious, but I also want to conditionally lock cells based on values in other cells.

How would I go about doing that, if it is even possible?

RE: Lock Cell based on another cell value

You could have an Event monitor macro running...i.e. in the API Sheet/WorkSheet/SelectionChange

Then use it to change the protection on a cell(s).
