    You cannot really "freeze" a formula. You could perhaps set calcs to manual, but it would recalc when you saved or opened the file.

    You would really need VBA for what you want.
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Yes, there is - it's VBA. Shall I move the thread for you to the appropriate section?

    Re: freeze Lock Down Progress Percentage once the date is changed

    Let me repeat what I think you are asking.
    You want to Lock your dates in column B, and probably want to lock down all other columns as well with the exception of columns C and D, where the user would provide updates on their progress.

    If this is true, the set the cells in C and D to UNLOCKED and then PROTECT the worksheet or workbook and updates can only occur within the unlocked cells.

    If this correct and you just don't know how to unlock cells and/or protect the sheet?

    if you right click on a cell or range of cells and select Format Cells, then under the protection tab uncheck the Locked box if you want to allow updates in locked mode... otherwise Locked will not allow any changes when protection is enabled.

    Protection is within the Review tab and you just Protect the Sheet or the Workbook.

    I hope this answers your question, if not let me know.

    Thanks sir, you are right i want these values to be intact for the date, for next date there would be some other value from a common source

    Thanks Sir
