How to Unlock Specific Cells in a Protected Sheet in Excel | Unlock Scrollbar, Checkbox, Drop-Downs
In this video, I will show you how to unlock specific cells in cells when you have locked the entire sheet.
I cover the following three scenarios in this video:
-- Unlock selected cells in Excel (in a protected sheet)
-- Use Scrollbar, Checkbox, Drop-down, etc. in a locked sheet
-- Unlock cells that have a specific value of color in it

Thanks for commenting Natalia... One way to do this could be to disable editing directly in cell. Click the File tab, click on Option and then Advanced. In the options that show up, uncheck the 'Allow Editing directly in cell'. This would stop the prompt to show up. However, if you now need to edit cells that are not protected, you will have to do it through formula bar only.

Is there any way to add a filter in a protected file, which already has unlocked heading?
Thank you for the video. I am using Excel 365. After I clicked on Protect sheet, the Format Cell feature is grey out. I was not able to unlock the specific cell I prefer to keep unlocked. Which version of Excel you were using on this video?
Can we lock values in table in the sheet and also get the table expanded?
Hello hope you could help me with my concern, if I choose on the dropdown list then the template will be enabled, however the columns that were not needed will be disabled. Do you know how?
Hi there Sumit, is it possible to lock a specific range of cells in excel which has data using a macro, say 2 columns and 20 rows. In addition, I would like a user to be able to access the rest of the worksheet, hence a macro is also required for the unlock cell command.The above is required for multiple sheets, thus I would like to have this automated on a tab. I have been struggling with this. Kindly assist with a vba code.
I'm using a Macbook. Unfortunately, the protection tab doesn't show when I format the specific cells. Any tips?
I don't have the Protection button in the Format Cells menu, but the sheet is protected. Would you know why is that?
