Protection of cell

if you have a set figure that you dont want changed by other users, how do you protect the cell so that only you can change it

RE: Protection of cell

Hello Kerry,

Thank you for your question regarding protection.

You can lock all cells by choosing the Protect Sheet option in the review ribbon. Should you wish to only lock certain cells on the sheet, prior to turning on Protect Sheet you must unlock the ones you do not want protected.
Select the cells to unlock, right click, select the protection tab in the format cells dialog box, ok.
Turn on Protect Sheet.

I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.

If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another Microsoft Office question?

Have a great day.
Regards,

Mark

Excel tip:

COUNT function vs COUNTA function

The COUNTA function works in the same way as the COUNT function, except that it will count cells that contain text (labels) and also cells that contain numbers (values). The COUNT function will only count cells that contain numbers. Blank cells are not counted by either the COUNT or the COUNTA function.
