    Protect or just lock only cells containing any formula on all sheets simultaneoulsy

    HI,

    I already posted a thread about protecting the sheets simultanoeusly.

    The next case for me is to protect only the cells on all sheets which contain any type of fomrula, starting from just equality "=A1" and aended with combination of any formula.

    In other words I need to lock only cells with formulas and than protect them with password. I there any possibility of this? If it will be non-VBA solution that would be great, but if not VBA code also will be great....


    Thank you all in advance.

    HI G.Bregvadze,

    NonVBA solution:-
    Press F5 -> Special -> formulas -> OK

    now protect (Lock) them and then protect the sheet.
    done

    Yes.. you can select all sheets using your mouse while pressing ctrl key on keyboard and then you can follow above steps except for sheet protection because sheet protection would be applied individually on each sheet.
