JKPieterseThanks for this. If that's what Excel help answered, why is it that I can edit other cells which I did not create? However, in my case, there are "SOME" cells I can't edit.

    I don't really know, can you upload a sample file and mark the ones you can and the ones you cannot edit please? Please make sure the file has no sensitive content.
