I have created a spreadsheet and have restricted a row and footing row
(totals) from being changed by using the "format cells / protection"
feature. I have left all the data entry rows
unprotected so that the entry people can make changes. These entry
rows have columns with specfics formats like Date, Currency, etc and I
make it all look nice with the grid feature. Finally,
I set "Tools /Protection/ Protect sheet" to active the protected
cells.
The problem is how can the user Insert new rows?
To get around this, I created enough rows so that the user has the
space they need (50 rows) to accomodate the necessary entries. The
new problem is that if the user forgets to make any entry they have to
Insert which they cannot do because of the protection. So, to get
around this they can drag the lower existing data rows down, but then
the opening they create loses the format that I set for that column
and the nice grid I put in disappears in those rows?
Any tips?
Thanks
