cell for read only

[DarReNz]

Hi, i used =SUBTOTAL(3, H4:H65536) in my Inv worksheet. Now i want to put the value which obtained from SUBTOTAL to be read only meaning it can't be edited in cell B9 in Input worksheet. How do i do this ? Thanks

Hi DarReNz,
One way is to...
Unlock all the cells on the sheet.
By right-clicking the box left of column A (above cell 1)
select format cells, Protection tab.
Untick the Locked checkbox.
then
right-click cell B9 (or whatever cell you want to be read only),
Format Cells, Protection tab,
and tick the Locked checkbox.
Now protect sheet. Tools > Protection > Protect Sheet

Cell B9 (or whatever cell or cells you chose) is now protected
and you won't be able to change it's contents
without un-protecting the worksheet.
All other cells are not protected, so these cells you
can overwrite the contents.

HTH,

Marcster.
