Office Version: Office 2007;Operating System:Windows 7; Program:Excel
I need to be able to select via a macro or some other way the restrictions listed below on copy/cut/paste. The worksheet will be protected. The goal is to allow a user to have the capability to type in data or copy-paste-values only in the unlocked cells. I wish to block a user from changing the formatting or pasting a formula in an unlocked cell via copy or cut and paste. This is necessary to maintain the worksheet/workbook integrity when multiple users have access to it.
1. Disable cutting from unlocked cells
2. Allow ONLY copy/paste value from any cell to any unlocked cell.
The user needs to be able to select locked cells.
Ideally, the user can copy-paste-values from that locked cell an an unlocked cell. The ability to copy from the locked cell is not an absolute need but being able to select the locked cell is very important due to the large size of the worksheet.
The locked cells will have their formulas hidden.
I entered the question in the website below but received no feedback. The Microsoft tech support group said I should contact this IT Pro forum.
