I have formulas on a worksheet that get ruined when someone decides to copy and paste or cut and paste, does anyone know if it is possible to have a warning message if someone tries this ??

Cheers

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
Good morning Pauljj

Can you not use Tools > Protection > Protect Sheet to stop users from altering formulae? Alternatively you could make use of Ivan F Moalas code to prevent people from cutting and pasting by removing the tools that allow them to do so :
