Hi all,

I need help with protecting certain cells within my worksheet to prevent cells from being edited.

I have an excel sheet that have a drop down list, it hides certain rows based on the selection. I used macros to set this up and these are working fine at the moment.

I have Column C and D that I want user to be able to edit, but E and F not.

I've tried using the protect sheet method but I am getting a run time error code 1004 - unable to set the hidden property of the range class.

Please can someone help?

Thanks

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
