When you select a cell, Excel displays a green border around that cell, the active cell.
This is not my original code this procedure and others like it have been available online for years.
You can work with your own file or download the demonstration. However, Excel Online doesn't support VBA.
I'm using Microsoft 365 on a Windows 10 64-bit system, but you can use earlier versions. SEE: 83 Excel tips every user should master (TechRepublic) In this article, I'll show you a VBA procedure that changes the format properties for the active cell. As far as I know, there's no built-in theme or style that lets you control the active cell. As is, it's notable and probably easy to find for most of us, but that doesn't mean you can't change it. Even if you change themes and colors, the active cell remains the same.
The main advantage of the module method is that it allows saving the code in the file, so that it can be used again later. Copy and paste the code into the module to run it. To run this code, you need to add a module into the workbook or the add-in file. For Each rng In ActiveSheet.Range("B4:C9") A simple loop can be used to detect cells in a given range that contain formula. It returns a Boolean value based on whether the cell or range has a formula. The cells and ranges have a HasFormula property, which makes them read only. If you just need to lock only cells with formulas, you need to first identify cells that have formulas. You can use the Hidden status to hide your formulas as well. Set these two as True or False to change their status. Every cell and range can be made Locked and FormulaHidden properties. The second method is doing this via VBA code.
Use the corresponding checkboxes to activate properties. Select a cell or a range of cells, and press Ctrl + 1 to open this menu and go to the Protection tab. The User Interface method requires using the Format Cells dialog. A cell can be marked as Locked, and/or Hidden, in two ways: Important note: Protecting a sheet does not lock individual cells! The cells you want to lock should be marked as Locked too. By setting a string for the parameter argument, you can lock your worksheets with a password. Both methods can get accept other optional arguments. These methods determine the protected status of a worksheet as the name suggests. Worksheets are objects in a workbook's worksheet collection and they have Protect and Unprotect methods.
In this article, we're going to show you how to lock a cell in Excel formula using VBA. However, you can prevent users from going outside the intended boundaries by disabling certain sections of your workbook. Users entering data into the wrong cells or changing existing formulas can make data collection a tedious process.
