Excel Macro
I have created 2 Name Managers i.e opex (blue colour) and mtd (green). Using a macro, I would like to unlock these areas (Name manager) and lock the rest (other cells) so that users can key in their data in the unlocked cells.
Previously, I recorded a macro (object based using mouse) for implementation for 50 Excel files and had some inconsistent results. Sometime, in using the macro, I find these cells are either fully locked, partially locked or unlocked. Is there another way to do this, consistently?
For example:
Sub UnlockNamedRanges() Cells.Locked = True Range("opex").Locked = False Range("mtd").Locked = False ActiveSheet.Protect ' Password:="secret" End Sub
