Move from one cell to another
Posted on 2014-02-28
Folks,
In my worksheet I need to disable cell O2 when the workbook is activated.
In cell M3 I need to:
1. Check that the value entered is between 1 and 12
2. If true then I need to enable cell O2 and move to cell O2 to enter my formula.

fh_freese,
You can put these VBA into the workbook.
Alt-11 to go to VBA Editor. Ctrl-R to open Project Explorer.
In the project explorer, find the workbook you are working on, and double click on ThisWorkbook.
Copy and paste the following vba codes in there.
This will protect the all the sheets in the workbook except M3

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim WS As Worksheet
For Each WS In Worksheets
With WS.Range("m3")
.Locked = False
.FormulaHidden = False
End With
WS.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True
Next
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "$M$3" Then
If Target.Value >= 1 And Target.Value <= 12 Then
ActiveSheet.Unprotect
Range("O2").Select
End If
End If
End Sub
question:
Can this be modified for just a single worksheet (:OffsetFunction") rather than the workbook?

I selected your answer by modifying you Workbook_SheetChange sub as follows:
If Target.Address = "$M$3" Then
If Target.Value >= 1 And Target.Value <= 12 Then
Range("O2").Select
Else
MsgBox "A number between 1 and 12 is required", vbInformation, "Incorrect Value"
Worksheets("OffsetFunction
Range("M3").Select
Exit Sub
End If
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

fh_freese,
Yes, I can change it to protect only 1 sheet. The only catch is the sheet name has to stay the same for all the related workbooks.
If you want it to protect only 1 worksheet,
you have to modify it this way.
Also, watch out! I didn't know the sheet name with I wrote these codes but now I know.
You have to change the other code as well. This way, it won't react to other sheets.
