I want to drag the fill handle down a column to copy formulas, but I have some protected cells. Is there a way to copy the formulas to only the unprotected cells while ignoring the protected cells? I always get a warning message.
 

Excel Facts

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.

Hi and welcome to MrExcel.

No. You can't do that I am afraid. In fact you could but it would be very complicated and not worth the effort.
