Need some help with an excel project

the instruction say "Protect the worksheet so that only cells with data can be selected"

 

I understand I must protect the worksheet but how do I make it so ONLY CELLS WITH DATA CAN BE SELECTED?

  • Hello,

     

    first, you need to format all cells that should be selectable. In the formatting dialog, go to the Protection tab and untick the option for Locked.

     

    Next, go Review > Protect sheet. In the dialog that appears, there are options for which selections to allow. One is to allow selecting only unlocked cells. 

     

    Does that help?
