¿Cómo bloquear o desbloquear celdas según los valores en otra celda en Excel?

En algunos casos, es posible que deba bloquear o desbloquear celdas según los valores de otra celda. Por ejemplo, necesita que el rango B1: B4 se desbloquee si la celda A1 contiene el valor "Aceptando"; y debe bloquearse si la celda A1 contiene el valor "Rechazar". ¿Cómo puedes hacer para lograrlo? Este artículo te puede ayudar.

Bloquear o desbloquear celdas según los valores en otra celda con código VBA

Bloquear o desbloquear celdas según los valores en otra celda con código VBA

El siguiente código de VBA puede ayudarlo a bloquear o desbloquear celdas según el valor en otra celda en Excel.

1. Haga clic con el botón derecho en la pestaña de la hoja (la hoja con celdas que necesita bloquear o desbloquear según los valores de otra celda) y haga clic en Ver código desde el menú contextual.

2. Luego copie y pegue el siguiente código VBA en la ventana Código.

Código VBA: bloquee o desbloquee celdas según los valores en otra celda

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    If Range("A1") = "Accepting" Then
        Range("B1:B4").Locked = False
    ElseIf Range("A1") = "Refusing" Then
        Range("B1:B4").Locked = True
    End If
End Sub

3. presione el otro + Q teclas simultáneamente para cerrar el Microsoft Visual Basic para aplicaciones ventana.

De ahora en adelante, cuando ingresa el valor "Aceptando" en la celda A1, el rango B1: B4 se desbloquea.

Al ingresar el valor "Rechazar" en la celda A1, el rango especificado B1: B4 se bloquea automáticamente.

The code does not do anything when I tried it. Does this work on MS Office Professional 2010?

Thanks.

If my first column has strings can I lock that row specifically to the first column, where when I do a sort the full row will stay together on the sort?

Hello,

I need your favour. when i select No option from a cell i want the columns below to be locked/greyed out.

Is that possible? I tried this formula but dint work

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Range("D90") = "Yes" Then
Range("C94:F104").Locked = False
ElseIf Range("D90") = "No" Then
Range("C94:F104").Locked = True
End If
End Sub

  Hi Steffi,
  The code works well.
  If you want to lock the range of cells to prevent editing, you need to protect the worksheet manually after selecting No option in D90.
  And as D90 is in the range C94:F104, after protecting the worksheet, D90 can't be edited either.

I copied everything from above into a sheet. It worked for a second and now I'm getting the error 'Unable to set the Locked property of the Range class'. I even opened a whole new sheet and copied your example verbatim. Any idea whats going on?

How would the code be if I wanted to lock a block of cells (Rows 6, 7, and 8/Letters D through U as well as cells F5 and J5) and have them unlock when I put an "X" in cell E5? Thanks in advance!

  Hi MitchyII,
  Do you mean the specified block of cells have been locked manually in advance and just want to unlock them by typing an "X" in cell E5?
  If remove "X" from cell E5, you do want to lock the ranges again?
  I need more details of the problem.
  Thank you for your comment.

  Hi Mitchyll (or anyone), building off of Crystal. I have manually locked all cells and based on the information in column G, I would like them to remain locked or unlock. Example cells in column H should ONLY be unlocked if "c/p" is placed in the preceding cell in column G

  Not being a VB expert i would say you have too many "Elseif" - if you change them all to just IF except for the last one then hopefully that will work.
  Basically If X do this, If Y do this, if Z do this, if none of those - do this.

Hi,
I am really new to this.
I have been trying to put an invoicing system together in excel.
I created 3 sheets.
1. Invoice template (Invoice)- Just a generic invoice that is sent to my agents weekly.

2. A data sheet (Data sheet) to be exact - where the invoice can read the company name adress etc, so if anything changes the invoice will be automatically updated.

3. A calendar tab (Calendar 2018) to be exact - that is referenced in the invoice template, and puts the corresponding date and invoice number on the actual invoices.

What I want to do.
The calendar tab would be my main page, I added a status drop down cell for each week with options "Active" and "Closed". I would like to Lock the whole "Invoice" tab if the corresponding cell is set to "Closed".

I hope you guys understand what I am trying to do.
Thanks in advance.

Hi! need some advise.
Is there a way not to allow a cell to be updated unless it has satisfied a condition on another cell?
Sample: if the cell A is not updated it will not allow me to change the value of cell B to complete.

Appreciate the feedback.
Thanks!

Hello,

I have tried your code and edit a little bit, but i can't work out what i do wrong here?

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Range("A40") <> "" Then
Range("D40:E40").Locked = False
ElseIf Range("A40") = "" Then
Range("D40:E40").Locked = True
End If
End Sub

My though about it was if there is nothing in it (A40). Then i want to locked by VBA. If A40 contain something, then i want it to be unlocked. I hope you can see the sense of it.

Regards Kristoffer

  Hi. I too cannot get this code to work. It does absolutely nothing. As if the code isn't even there?? I'm very new to VBA and have a basic understanding on it. Is this code being run as-is, or does it have to have stuff added to it as well for it to run? Or turned into a Macro (which I don't really get why because that's a recording of instructions, on my understanding of them)

Hi, I'm trying to achieve this, but I get an error that VBA is unable to set the Locked property of the Range class if the sheet has been protected. Unprotecting the sheet will then negate the cell being locked.

How to get around this?

  Is it possible to have this VBA lock one set of cells/unlock another based on this? For example Range B1:B4 is unlocked and C1:C4 is locked for "accepting" and then B1:B4 is locked and C1:C4 is unlocked for "refusing"?

  You'll want to use the interface line in the workbook so when you open the file, it protects the sheets but allow macros to make changes anyway;
  
  Private Sub Workbook_Open() 'This goes into "ThisWorkbook"
  
  Worksheets("Order Tool").Protect Password:="Pwd", UserInterFaceOnly:=True
  
  End Sub

  If cell A1 is Balnk then Cell A2 is locked and If Cell A1 contains any Value then Cell A2 is unlocked
  Similarly if cell A2 is blank then Cell A3 is locked and if Cell A2 contains any value then Cell A3 is unlocked
  and so on as many cells as per requirement in any part of the sheet.
