    How to tab pass cells

    I want to be able to press the tab button but only go to the unprotected cells.

    Is there a way to bypass cells using tab???

    Thanks

    When you protect your sheet, be sure to set the options you want. One of the options is [x] Select Locked Cells... uncheck that.

    Even if you have not unchecked "Select Locked Cells", once you've protected your worksheet, the Tab moves you between Unlocked cells only. If you're tabbing and you're moving to unlocked cells, then either your worksheet isn't protected or you have more unlocked cells than you thought.
