Is there a way to lock cells using VB based on the value of another cell. Example:

IF A2 = A1 then
Locked Cells C2 and D2 from data entry.

Thanks.
 

Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
Put this macro in the sheet's module.

Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
If [A2] = [A1] Then [C2:D2].Locked = True Else [C2:D2].Locked = False
End Sub
