Hi

I have a workbook that I want to protect certain cells but some of the cells that I want to use unprotected are merged and centred .

When I try to protect the cells it says it cant do it to merged cells.

Is there anyway round this?

Thanks

How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney
Try this

For the cells which you don't want to protect (Merge and center), In format cell Protection the Locked and hidden option should be unchecked
ref the attachment
