How to protect cells?
I would like to protect a range of cells (A2:D24) with a password for a group of users that would make changes to cells in this range. Then on the same sheet, also protect a range of cells (E2:E24) from everyone but me. Is this possible? Thanks.

I think you got that backwards. I think most people would rather look at the header and see that it was cross-posted (multiple groups at once). Most(?) newsreader software will reply to all the groups so that work won't be duplicated. If you multipost (multiple posts with the same content posted multiple times), there's no indication that others have worked on a response. It wastes time for the (2nd thru xxth) responders. And it means you have to check multiple spots for responses.

ec35720Whatever
Mark, > Whatever Ya' know when people offer their help out of the goodness of their hearts, "whatever" isn't an appropriate response. I don't know if Dave (or the other MVP's) have a blacklist, but if they do, I certainly wouldn't want to be on it. The original intent of my post here and in .worksheet.functions was to consolidate your multipost into just one thread in one ng. The regulars read all three of the major ones anyway so it really doesn't matter which one you post to. Soooo...in summary.... You wasted your time posting to three different groups. You wasted your time again by having to come back to ..worksheet.functions and complain that you "still don't have a viable solution to your problem!" Then you wasted your time having to come to this ng, read the posts and insult Dave with your "Whatever" Then you went to .programming to discover that Norman had actually given you a "viable solution" to your problem. I can almost guarantee that if you hadn't multiposted, you'd have had your answer sooner (and wasted a lot less of your time, my time and the others that read these ng's). None of us work for MS and none of us get paid for participating in these ng's. We do it because we enjoy helping others. Keep that in mind the next time you post. I'm glad you got an answer from Norman that worked for you. John "Mark F." <m7829@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:hs%Qb.13164$7D.2073@fe2.texas.rr.com... > Whatever > >
Hi John! I don't think any of the regulars keep a blacklist but if I'd seen the "whatever" to Dave, I certainly would not have answered this post. There might be a "whitelist" with grateful "customers" or those struggling receiving endless patient help. Whatever! I blame Jerry Springer. -- Regards Norman Harker MVP (Excel) Sydney, Australia njharker@optusnet.com.au Excel and Word Function Lists (Classifications, Syntax and Arguments) available free to good homes.
njharkerIt may not have helped the OP, but I bet that there are lurkers who read these messages. (I know I lurked before posting.) And maybe it helped someone else who saw that fragmenting the responses doesn't usually help the original poster.

Count Cells Within 10 of a Cell Value
I need a formula that calculates how many out of a range of cells are within 10 of another cell. For instance, I have cells F3 through U3. I want to know how many of them are either 10 above or 10 below the value in cell V3. If cell V3 equals 20, than I want to know how many are between 10 and 20 and how many are between 20 and 30. Ideally, this would be in the same formula but two seperate formulas is also acceptable. Look in the help index for SUMIF.

How do I pass series data x-value range to a chart from a cell?
I have a series on a line chart (x-values "=Sheet1!$A$1:$A$10"). I also have two worksheet cells (B1 & B2) that contain the start and end date for the x-axis of the chart. I want to be able to link the chart series data to the start and end date values so that the chart automatically adjusts when I change the dates in the worksheet cells. I can create a string or address for the x-values but how do I do not know how to pass this to the chart series?? I know I can do this using a macro, but I want to do it without macros so that friends who use MicrosoftCharts (the cheap, n...

Formula omits adjacent cells: ignore a whole row at once?
Allowing space to add further rows in a spreadsheet gives me a whole row of totals where the formula is tagged as 'formula omits adjacent cells'. How can I get the thing to ignore the lot at once rather than having to open all the drop down dialogues one at a time?

How to Activate "Show all" in a Protected Shared Workbook
Hi, I created a protected and shared workbook in Excel 2003 ,the default Filter Option is "Auto Filter" how can I use the "Show All" in Filtering.? even I unchecked the "Filter Settings" in "Tools-> Share Workbook -> Advanced -> Include Personal View " but it did not work. Thanks. You can't. If the workbook were not shared, then you could create your own macro that unprotects the worksheet, does the showall and reprotects the worksheet. But with the workbook shared, you can't change the protection of a shee...

Hi, Day... First - put just a hint of what you want help on in the Subject line, and then explain in full in the message. It truncates in the Subject.
