Hi, can you please help me with this code.
The code works fine on all cells of the active sheet.
I need the code to only take effect if anything was typed in the cells between C4:C30 only.

Thank you so much in advance!
Leny


Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)    
    
    Rspn = MsgBox("You have changed " & Target.Address & ". This cell will be locked for further editing. Do you wish to proceed?", vbYesNo)
    Select Case Rspn
    Case Is = vbNo
        Application.EnableEvents = False
        Application.Undo
        Application.EnableEvents = True
    Case Is = vbYes
        ActiveSheet.Unprotect "PC123"
        Target.Locked = True
        ActiveSheet.Protect "PC123"
    End Select
    
    End Sub

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
Try:

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("C4:C30")) Is Nothing Then
    Rspn = MsgBox("You have changed " & Target.Address & ". This cell will be locked for further editing. Do you wish to proceed?", vbYesNo)
    Select Case Rspn
    Case Is = vbNo
        Application.EnableEvents = False
        Application.Undo
        Application.EnableEvents = True
    Case Is = vbYes
        ActiveSheet.Unprotect "PC123"
        Target.Locked = True
        ActiveSheet.Protect "PC123"
    End Select
End If
End Sub

Is there a way to change the code so that only the non-blank cells within the range are proected and not the whole ActiveSheet?
