Many of my spreadsheets are very basic and are used by people who have no knowledge of spreadsheets (if I said "dont overtype a formula", they wouldnt know what I was talking about). I have tried putting comments that say "please dont type in this column/row/cell" to no avail.
I still get the spreadsheet back saying "its stopped working".
99% of the time it is because they have overtyped a formula.
Before I ship a worksheet to them I now lock and protect any ( and only) those cells that contain a formula by:
1) click on cell 0,0 to highlight all cells in the spreadsheet
2) click on format cells -> unlock cells
3) show all cells containing formulas by using keys cntrl + `
4) highlight all these cells
5) click on format cells -> lock cells
6) click on format cells -> protect sheet ( no password)
I would like to use a general macro to do the above for any worksheet. Any ideas on how to select and highlight only cells which contain a formula?
