Limiting the Movement in an Unprotected Sheet

From Excel Tip of the Day

In this example, the sheet is divided into two parts: an area where movement is allowed (the Scroll Area), and an area where movement is restricted (that is, a protected area), without protecting the sheet.

Set the Scroll Area range in the Properties dialog box:

1. Click the Properties icon OR From the Control Toolbox toolbar, click the Properties icon.
2. In the Scroll Area text box, type the scroll area range, or type the defined Name for the range (this is flexible, if you plan to add more data to the range, it is better to use a defined Name).
3. To cancel the Scroll Area restricted range, clear the Scroll Area text box.

Note:
You cannot add two Scroll Areas to the Scroll Area text box.
