Hi folks,
is there any way to insert a table into an unlocked Excel cell (or merged range of cells) on a protected worksheet?
I've tried convering to an image but it doesn't retain the formatting.
 

Excel Facts

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
1. Excel has a "Camera" feature allowing you to take a picture of your table
- when pasted elsewhere the picture should look the same as the original
- values are linked to the original data (as data changes, so does the picture)
- the picture cannot be pasted unless sheet protection allows it (see 2 below)
- link to helpful "Camera" tutorial: https://trumpexcel.com/excel-camera-tool/

2. Sheet protection has an option to allow users to Edit Objects
- when protecting the sheet, scroll down through the options and click that box
- clicking the box allows pictures and shapes etc to be pasted to the sheet

Thanks Yongle,
I was totally unaware of the Camera tool.
That's exactly what I was looking for.
