Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of locking the cells on a protected sheet--to
stop changes to those cells?

I'm a mechanical designer in mechanical field, in a project we have varies
type of support with differents height, I use excel to calculate all the
details value and intend to share this worksheet with other. I will only wish
to allow user to fill in the support height, the rest will be generate by
excel. If I have lots of support , that's mean the user have to copy and
paste in a new row, If I protected the work sheet, user are not allow to
paste in a new row. That's why I need to paste some locked cells in an
protected sheet.

 

[Dave Peterson]

But the first time someone pasted their data over your locked cells that contain
your formulas, I bet you'd want excel to stop them.

I don't see how excel could support both requirements.

But maybe you could provide them some macro that did exactly what you want.

I'm not keen in macro, I just know some simple formula like if. else , or..

If I want to write a macro for this situation :
anyone who insert a row between the locked and unlocked cells row, the row
come with above or below fumula locked or unlocked cells (in protected sheet)
How to write and Is it hard to write ?

 

[Dave Peterson]

Start by recording a macro when you do it manually.

You'll have to tweak the code--maybe add some extra checks.

If you have trouble, post back with your questions.

Ps...

David McRitchie has some code to insert rows and copy formulas at:

look for: InsertRowsAndFillFormulas

If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at:

Hi angeline.....are the row you re going to insert will contain the
formulated properties of the support or just constant values ?

 

[angeline]

formulated properties of the support

Angeline J.....I got a sheet for steel support and beams - basics - with
varying end restraints - wanna try this one sheet good for as many steel
sections you will prefer...Input length alone and steel index number...

 

[angeline]

yes, please
