Cell protection
Cell protection
(OP)
Help needed. I have seen excel sheets with
1-complete columns/rows locked out. i.e. columns A to H, completely out of screen, and cannot be moved or seen.
2-Imported autocad dwgs frozen, cannot be moved, deleted or modified
3-Selected cells protected
In short, cannot do much other than changing input data
How do I get the knowledge to do these wonderful stuff
Thanks

RE: Cell protection
if you are going to learn, recommend that a back-up copy of original file be made and you then experiment with backed-up copy.
overall, the worksheet and/or workbook are likely protected.
1 - these columns are likely hidden. - unhide the columns
2 - worksheet/workbook is protected - unprotect the worksheet/workbook. u must know password to unprotect.
3 - selected cells protected from input or change. change the formatting of selected cells to unprotect. again, u must know password to unprotect.
