    Prevent users from deleting complete rows and specific columns

    Hello,

    I have a spreadsheet with data in Columns A:I

    This is what I want to do:
    - Prevent users from deleting entire row.
    - Prevent users from deleting entire column
    - Prevent users from deleting/editing all cells in column A, as well as H and I

    Is this possible?

    Unprotect all the cells (Select all the cells, Control+1, Protection Tab, clear Locked checkbox. Then protect only cells of column A, H & I (same steps as before, but check the box now). Then password protect entire sheet. (Reviw > Protect Sheet > OK.)
