Default Activating or decativating Cell

Hi Guys,



Can someone suggest me how to activate or decativate the cell based on the value of some other cell.

Regards

This can be done using VBA. But what is the purpose of this and how will the value of the other cell change (would a user manually change it or does it contain a formula)?

Hi,

The values will change manually. for example, if the there is a question - "how many funds the user has", and the answer to that is 3 - then it should activate three particular cells in a specific section.

hope it clarifies.

Okay sure. In this case, what does 'activate' mean? Do they change colour, become selected, or something else? I think if you attach an example workbook then we should be able to come up with an answer quite quickly.

Hi,

sorry do not have sheet yet.

cells can change color or become selected. and it should be must for user to enter the information. if he does not excel should through a warning message or direct the user to fill in that particular cell.

hope this helps.

Until you have an actual workbook to work with, all that can be given is advice on hypothetical situations. It's rathe hard to code for that, especially when you're not clear on whether/why the cells need to be activated, change colour, etc.
