Stop Autofill/Highlight of cells

[Guest]

I currently have data in various rows highlighted. For some rows, columns
A-M are highlihgted by row in a specific color. Columns N - R have data but
are not highlighted.

I am protecting the sheet so that only columns O and P are editable. When
I test data entry into the uprotected cells, then data enters fine, but it
automatically highlights (fills) with the highlight/paint color that is in
columns A-M for the same row, even though the column immediately preceding
the data entry column is not highlighted/filled.

I've tried highlighted columns N-R while unprotected and doing no fill, but
it still occurs.

Is it possible to prevent this?

Thank you for any help!
Ashley

Hi,

is it possible you have conditional formatting in those cells?
