I have created a combo box, and through
properties, I have selected the list range
and those appear in the list, but when I protect the worksheet, the combo box does
not drop down and allow me to choose. To do
so I must unprotect the worksheet, highlight the combo box, right click, and selct object
edit. Help?

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.
Hi cpc


So long as its "Locked" property is set to False, protecting the sheet should have no effect. Unless you are using a Locked cell for its CellLink Property! If so this cell needs to be unlocked via the Format Cells dialog.
