How to prevent formula being removed from cells...

**dori2o** · 03-31-2016, 10:22 AM

Hi,

2 quick questions for you clever people.

1) I know it's not possible to copy from a protected cell when the worksheet/book is protected (Unless you can and someone can tell me how) which is a shame as it would stop peopole from removing the formula from the cell in error when copying the text from it, but, is there any way to protect the formula from being wiped out of the cell.

2) Still with the issue in mind regarding people removing the formula from a cell in error, is there any way to push information from one cell into an empty cell?

Does anyone have an alternative solution as to how I can resolve this issue?

Thanks in advance

I don't see why you can't copy from a protected cell unless when you protected the sheet you unchecked the box to allow people to select a protected cell.
