    Google sheets - Only lock cells with value

    Hi, I have a use case to lock cells with data in a Google sheet. My intention is to use this logic in a time trigger to automatically lock cells with data at the end of the day. This will allow users to enter values into any blank cell and correct it, if needed, before it is locked at the end of the day. Any help will be appreciated.

    Without a lot more detail, AND a sample file that is represenative of the real life file, we can only guess if your project is simple, or monumental.

    Hi, Thanks for your reply. Here is the link to a sample Google sheet.

    I just need to be able to lock all cells which are not blank at the end of the day. The data could be anywhere on the sheet. Please let me know if I can clarify anything further. Appreciate your time.
