Greetings,
I have a spreadsheet (G columns wide) that has "locked" protection on all cells except for the last row of data from column B to E (cells A, F, G are formulas and protected). Users of other similar sheets I have made are used to seeing cells that they cannot edit having an off white backgrounds for user data, yellow bacgrounds for formula calculation cells and cells that they can edit being white (ie, default "none")
I'm trying to write a macro that will find the last row of spreadsheet with data (which at the start of this procedure has the only 4 unlocked cells on entire worksheet in columns B:E), copy this row (to get all the formula and formats), insert a copy at the bottom of the spreadsheet. Next, I want the macro to change the change the 4 white cells on the 2nd to last row ( ie, the old last row) to have offwhite background fill, and have protection changed to locked. Finally, the bottom 4 white cells need the contents cleared of the old data left over from copying so cells look ready for new input.
The majority of my difficulty is with the three steps where the macro is manipulating 4 specific cells. My attempts keep selecting the wrong cells. Grrrr.
Appreciate any help anyone can provide.
