Hi,

In my protected Excel sheet I would like users to be able to insert cells to certain columns without letting them insert entire rows. I want to prevent them to insert rows because in some hidden columns I have formulas which would not be added to the new rows...

So I would want to give authorisation to add cells in between row 1 & 2 in column A & B, but not in C.

ABC
1VolumePrice= Volume*Price - automatic formula
2VolumePrice= Volume*Price - automatic formula
3= Volume*Price - automatic formula
4= Volume*Price - automatic formula

<tbody>
</tbody>

Thank you in advance,

Kim
 

Excel Facts

Fastest way to copy a worksheet?
Hold down the Ctrl key while dragging tab for Sheet1 to the right. Excel will make a copy of the worksheet.
I had something similar. I ended up converting the range to a table, and added a button that the user would click to add a new row that triggered a macro. The macro unprotected the sheet, added a new row to the table, then re-protected the sheet, and selected the new blank row so it was ready for user input. Since it's a table, the formulas automatically populate.

Otherwise, if you want to keep it as a normal range, you could add a macro that automatically populates the formula for you according to the last row in the range.
