Excel Facts

Format cells as time
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+2 to format cells as time. (Shift 2 is the @ sign).
It should be := instead of =
Code:
Sheets("sheet1").Unprotect Password:= "protect20"


Sheets("sheet1").Protect Password:="protect20", DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True
