Protect a group of cells

[Raymond]

How do I protect only a group of cells to prevent any change or deletion of
data, and not the entire worksheet? I selected the groups of cells that I
want to protect, and did the protection, but it went ahead and protect
everything in the worksheet, which is what I don't want.

Thank You.

the default is for all cells to have their locked property set.

Select all the cells and uncheck the locked property.

then select the group of cells and check the locked property

then protect the sheet.

Hi Raymond

just a note - its not generally necessary to post to more than one group ...

Cheers

Especially ones for which your question is not really relevant.
