Option Explicit

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="xyz"
Target.Locked = True
With ActiveSheet
    .Protect userinterfaceonly:=True, Password:="xyz", AllowInsertingColumns:=True, AllowInsertingRows:=True
.EnableOutlining = True
.EnableAutoFilter = True
End With
End Sub

I know I don't know anything (Socrates)

 

@NikolinoDE Thanks again for helping me,

The concern here is i want tonly freshly cells to be auto locked and in the attached workbook when i added C6 and C7 cell it worked, But after that it didn't worked for cell C8
Can you please check if the same is happening with you as well?
I am using Office 365 with windows, Not sure if that matters
Thanks

So it works for me. If I enter a value in cell, it locks immediately afterwards.

 

Maybe another user can try it here in the forum and give us feedback?

Tried with another Excel / Pc?

In the end maybe update everything and do an office repair.

 

*I tested the file with Excel 2016.

 

Hope I was able to help you with this info.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply, May be there is a confusion, I am not talking about getting a cell locked, That i was able to do with the first code as well, But i am talking about being get locked and be a part of table i mean a row gets added in the table if we write something below the table
So it should work like every time we write something below the table it should be a part of table and then immediately gets locked
Thanks

You want the table to expand by one line, as far as I understand.

Think that this code will help you, you only have to insert your code into it

(as far as locking cells after use). I tried the code via insert line in the table and it worked.

Add the value in the bottom line of the table and enter it into the table.

I leave both of them to you :).

File with only "insert lines" ... is inserted.

 

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.EnableEvents = False
Set Target = Application.Intersect(Target, Columns("J:N"))

Dim r1 As Integer
Dim r2 As Integer
Dim c As Integer

c = 2
r1 = 15

'Loop 1
Do While Cells(r1, c) <> ""
    Rows(r1 + 1).Select
    Selection.Insert Shift:=xlDown, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
   
    r1 = r1 + 1
Loop

r2 = r1 + 2

'Loop 2
Do While Cells(r2, c) <> ""
    Rows(r2 + 1).Select
    Selection.Insert Shift:=xlDown, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
    r2 = r2 + 1
    Loop
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
