    Protected sheet killing VLOOKUP from updating

    Hello,

    First post, still learning excel. Running Excel 2024 on MacOS. My issue is I have two sheets, First sheet labeled "Calculator", Has a drop down list that pulls a list of products from a Price/Quantity table on the second sheet labeled "Transfers". Depending on what product is selected in the drop down list (B3), and what Quantity is entered in (G3) cells (E3, F3, and I3) populate with the data attached to that product. Everything works if the sheets are not protected. When I protect the sheets, the VLOOKUP and INDEX formulas located in (E3, F3, I3) are not dynamic and do not register any new products added to the table on "Transfer" sheet.

    CELL E3 Contains:
    =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B3,Transfer!$A$3:$ALN$17,2,FALSE),0)
    CELL F3 Contains:
    =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B3,Transfer!$A$3:$ALN$17,3,FALSE),0)
    CELL I3 Contains:
    =IFERROR(INDEX(Transfer!$D$3:$ALN$17,MATCH(B3,Transfer!$A$3:$A$17,0),MATCH(TEXT(G3,"0"),Transfer!$D$2:$ALN$2,0)),0)
    So my drop down list is still dynamic, but those 3 cells are not when the sheet is protected.

    I attached an example file. So basically to test, you would add a new row to the table on "Transfer" Sheet. Enter Product data in Columns A,B,C,D. And when you select the new entry from the drop down list, E3, F3, and I3 updates correctly.

    Thanks,
    Joey
