Hey all, got a large database that's at the moment gets its data from 2 workbooks.
The first workbook has data from last year, the 2nd one from this year.

The problem is when I update them now I have to open both workbooks otherwise 2021's data goes missing.
Is there a way to freeze the cells from updating from 2021 while adding new data to the 2022 part of the database?

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
