Angry Alternative ways to populate a spreadsheet

Hi guys,



I have a problem because of my stupid manager.
She wants me to populate a spreadsheet where some columns I could use a formula to save me time. However, she locked the sheet and wanted me to do it manually.

I wonder if there is any script or macro that I could use even if I do not have the password.

The first column is the one I need to do manually. The third column is where I could use a formula, but I can't because my manager does not want it.

I need a script or macro or anything to populate the third column like that:

ID - CFSG22/30M00X/ID
1111 - CFSG22/30M001/1111
1050 - CFSG22/30M002/1050
3333 - CFSG22/30M003/3333

Thanking you in advance.

Where should I look for the "stupidity" ? at the beginning or at the end ?

I doubt there's a locking mechanism that would allow you to input a value but not a formula.

Create the spreadsheet using formulas. Before sending the workbook to your boss, copy the range with all formulas, and from right-click menu use PasteSpecial.Values on same range. (In case you want to keep the formulas for later use by yourself, save the workbook as 1st step, then overwrite formulas with values using PasteSpacial, and then save the workbook with different name - and send the last one to your boss.)
