Unlock Blank Cells in Column G

[adamsm]

Hi anyone,

How could I make the following code to unlock blank cells in column G when a user types a value in cell J10 of the (protected) Active sheet.

[VBA]Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim Rng
Dim MyCell
Set Rng = Range("G18:G53")
For Each MyCell In Rng
If MyCell.Value = "" Then

Else: ActiveSheet.Unprotect
MyCell.Locked = True
MyCell.FormulaHidden = False
ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True
ActiveSheet.EnableSelection = xlNoRestrictions
End If
Next
End Sub
[/VBA]

Any help on this would be kindly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

Not sure I quite follow 100%, but perhaps...

[vba]Option Explicit

Private Const TRIGGERRANGE As String = "J10"
Private Const MYPASSWORD As String = "type your password here"

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim c As Range
If Target.Address(0, 0) <> TRIGGERRANGE Then Exit Sub
Me.Unprotect MYPASSWORD
For Each c In Me.Range("G18:G53")
If Len(c.Value) = 0 Then
c.Locked = False
Else
c.Locked = True
c.FormulaHidden = False
End If
Next
Me.Protect MYPASSWORD
End Sub[/vba]

Thanks for the help. The code unlocks all the rows of column G from row G18:G53.

There are rows which don't contain data in any column within the range. How could I add a line to the code so that it unlocks the cells of column G if the data from Column C to I contains data.

How could I add a line to the code so that the code only unlocks the rows of column G if the adjacent columns contain data.

Do all of the columns in that row need to contain data? Or just any cell in that row?

Columns C,H,F,I does contain data except G.
