Restricting cell selection

[Jemwig]

I have done this before but forgotten how .

I want to restrict the range of cells which a user can move to within a
worksheet.

i.e. only allow the cells in range a2:f10 to be selected and ignore all
others on the sheet

Can someone remind how this is done please?

1. unlock A2 thru F10
2. protect the worksheet allowing users to only select unlocked cells

 

[Jemwig]

That protects the cell from being edited.

I want to stop the cell from being selected!

If you only allow the cells in range a2:f10 to be selected within the sheet,
then Gary's have provided you the solution.

if you want the users to be able to select all cells except the cells from
a2:f10
in the sheet, then
select the whole sheet, Format >> Cells >> Protection and uncheck locked >> OK
select a2:f10, right click >> Format Cells >> Protection >> click Locked >>
OK
apply protection.
This will allow user to go to any cells except a2:f10
