    Regarding Allowing editing cell without losing formula

    I have 2 worksheets in a workbook. SheetA allows total deposits to be entered in A1. Sheet B allows user to enter individual deposits in A2:A100 and calculates total in A1. I want to be able to Auto fill SheetA, A1 with value in SheetB, A1. I know how to do this part However I also want to allow user to enter manual value in SheetA, A1 without losing formula to SheetB, A1 (='Sheet B'!A1). The Formula is needed as back up due to the type of underwriting we are doing. Some bank statements list total deposits which would allow us to enter value directly into SheetA, A1. Some Bank statements do not and the individual deposits would need to be manually input and added up via SheetB A2:A100 totaling in A1. Is this possible?

    Attach a sample workbook (not a picture or pasted copy). Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    In Sheet 1, can you allow the user to enter the total in cell B1? And then in A1 you could put something like:
    =IF(ISBLANK(B1),Sheet2!A1,B1)

    You want to have a formula in SHEET! A1, and also be able to enter data into that same cell.
    If I understand you correctly, no that is not possible - you can either have a formula in a cell OR data entry (value/text), you cannot have both.
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
