I am trying to lock cells E10-E40 untill cell J4 has an entry greater than 3. I sure could use some help.
Thanks

I'll send you an email in five minutes with the example (just made for you now).
I really don't understand what's still the problem.
It's impossible to enter data if cell J4 doesn't have a value higher than 3

nevermind, perhaps there is still a misunderstanding
I send and then go to my zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
kind regards,
Erik

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
again crossposting :p
this was al in a hurry :coffee:

you're welcome
good night (at least here)
Erik

PS send you anyway the file

I believe that the OP is trying to say that the data validation won't work if J4 is empty. Could you perhaps have a value less than 3 in J4 by default. This of course could still be deleted.
