    Using a cell but not beeing able to write in it

    Hello guys,

    sorry if this question was beeing posted already but I really couldnt find it anywhere.
    I used a code, where I added two numbers in diffrent cells and in a third one i recieve the answer.
    Now I want that noone would be able to write anything into the third cell so you can always see the result of the equation without it beeing manipulated.
    The Problem is that if I try to block the cell in the menu bar then the code doesnt work because it has no Access to the cell aswell and it cant put the answer in there.
    Im still new to Excel so sorry if this question seems rather simple or stupid.
    Thanks in advance

    Right click on the cell and format cell, go to the protection tab and uncheck "Locked".

    Now if you protect your sheet the code can make changes to that cell.

    1. Select the developer tab.

    Start your Macro Recorder

    Select your cell with the formula

    Click into the formula bar at the top of excel and then press enter.

    Stop the Macro Recorder.

    2. Select the developer tab
    Select run Maco
    Select Macro1 and the EDIT.

    You should see something like:

    Copy that code and close the Macro Module.

    Right Click on the Sheet Name at the bottom of excel and select view code

    A module will open.

    Select the Listbox at the top left that Says General. Make that read Worksheet.

    Select the Listbox at the top Right that Says SelectionChange. Make that read Change.

    You will see this code:
