    Hi,

    Set the cell protection to locked and protect the worksheet perhaps?

    Hi Richard,

    Thank you for the quick reply. I cant protect the worksheet because they will be entering the dates. but some users entered in different format.

    Hi,

    Can't you use data validation to control the date entered?
