To do this, a formula based on the ‘TEXT’ function can be used. Now, let’s say we have two dates in two cells, and we wish to display them concatenated as a date range in a single cell. So we can see that using the date ranges in the first two rows as a template, Excel automatically creates date ranges for the subsequent rows. Select both the ranges and drag it down below till the row where we require the dates ranges:.Type a start date and end date in a minimum of two rows.So to create date ranges which have the same range or gap but the dates change as we go down, we can follow the below steps:

So we can use the same method to create date ranges. Now we know that dates are some numbers in Excel. With Excel, we can easily create several sequences. So we can see that multiple date ranges can be built this way. For instance, if we have data in cell A2 and want to use that in cell A1, use =A2 in cell A1, and this will copy the A2 value in A1.

#Allow users to edit ranges in excel for mac password
He will get the Unlock Range dialog box where he inputs the password that was given to him.Īfter he does so, he can edit that range in any way he desires.Copy this cell: B2 and paste it to cell B3 the relative cell reference Cell Reference Cell reference in excel is referring the other cells to a cell to use its values or properties. So now John opens this workbook, all he has to do is to either double click into his range or start typing into that range. But after you either right click on the sheet name and select Protect Sheet or find the same command on the REVIEW tab set the password (which has no connection to the previously set passwords), and allow users to select the locked cells(!). Until you do, all this settings have no effect. It’s also worth mentioning that we left all the cells locked! After this set up, if you want for this to take effect, you must protect the Worksheet. You must do this for all the desired ranges. You can change this settings at any time by selecting the Modify button. In a classical domain environment you can also use the Permissions button and automatically let Users or Groups from the domain to edit this Range.Īfter pressing OK you will have to retype your password and the Range is set. In the Allow users to edit ranges dialog box you select New, give this range a title, the Refers to Cells: will be filled out automatically by the initial selection and the most important thing, you must set a Range Password for this Range. In Excel we select the range of cells, that we wish to let someone format, and select REVIEW/Allow users to edit ranges and you will get to the Allow users to edit ranges dialog box That’s where Allow users to edit ranges comes in. That would prolong the opening of the file in Excel, but still, the second condition above would not be met and could not be met only by using the Protect Sheet, Protect Workbook and setting Password to Open or Password to modify. The first of our two conditions above already means that you have to lock them, to avoid that, maybe one could use the general options while saving, set the Password to modify and only give the fabulous four that password. With the Protect Sheet command, you could only either unlock cells or leave them locked. four special coworkers (John, Paul, George and Richard) all have their ranges that they and they alone can edit.all coworkers can view but they must not be allowed to edit the Worksheet.Imagine wanting to protect a Worksheet in Excel but with a few requirements. One simple command that elevates Excel Sheet protection to a whole new level.
