Hi

I have a protected sheet contain formula in each row depends to above row( for example C2=C1+1; C3=C2+1;...).and cells contained these formula are locked.

I like to allow users to insert row everywhere by keeping formula without unprotecting the sheet. When I am clicking "insert row" while protecting the sheet, users could insert a row but the locked inserted cells are not including any formula and excel doesn't permit to copy formula of above cells. is there any solution?

Thanks

If you just want the result of the formula, try

ActiveSheet.Range("E" & r).Value = ActiveSheet.Range("E1").Value

    Dear Hans

    It's working. the only problem is:

    I am trying to put formula for some cells in inserted row for example E(r)=E1.

    while I have a constant figure(i.e 400) in E1 it's working, but when I have a formula in E1 with result of 400, it doesn't work. E(r) is 0 or empty in this case!

    I need to locate in Row(...) and insert a row above it. the row # I need to insert will caculate through a formula result in C10.

    for example if C10=15 then I need to isert a row above row(15) and if C10=20 I need an insert abow row(20).
