    I watched several different videos and read several different instructions and I finally understand this simple task of "locking" cells because of this video! Thank you!!!!!

    Outstanding!!! I'm impressed how you have clarified the a somewhat "confusing" subject with a clear, concise, examples. And your spoken volume and enunciated were great (something so many other people totally fail at). After your video, I asked myself how did I ever consider this subject to be difficult and confusing... the answer is rooted in Microsoft's HELP. I read it a few times and each time I came away MORE confused... Thanks VERY much. You are a real Pro.

    Concise; with a simple example; good analogy with locked and open doors. The best on on UA-cam... better than Office tutorial.
    Thank you.

    Awesome!!! Everyone explains how to "lock cells" and protect worksheet, but when I follow their instructions, either I can't type anywhere on the document, or I can still type over all my formulas. Your explanation was absolutely the best and took only a few seconds to do.... Pitty I wasted almost half an hour watching other's videos to no avail!! You're the best!! Thanks :)

    Ralph! Thank you for your explanation of LOCKED and UNLOCKED - I've been trying to stop users changing certain cells but allow them to input to others for some time but couldn't get it right. Now I've got it sussed! Thanks!

    Hi! I want to create a weekly inventory sheet for my coffee shop with a starting data already using an iPad just save paper and time. Its like all they have to do is just mark the day where a particular stock has been used so that at the end of the week we already know how many products has been actually utilized. My concern is how can we make sure all the data that has been previously input can't be modified?

    I wrote a SelectionChange macro in the worksheet. After protecting the worksheet, I got an 'Application-defined or object-defined error' every time I select a different cell in the worksheet. Seems like to protect worksheet function doesn't work well with worksheet event procedures.

    hi, thanks for your nice video.
    But my question is how to luck a sheet with password so for example 3 different users are allowed to access only one page each with their passwords.
    considering that we already have made cell protections in a way that other users can only access specified cells as you mentioned?
