    Locked cells in frozen pane not locked even though sheet is protected

    I've got a sheet with rows 1 - 4 in a frozen pane. Rows 5 onwards contain data. Rows are filtered with headers in row 4. Even though row 4 cells are locked and the sheet is protected (with filtering allowed), but I can still edit the cells in row 4 and I don't understand why...

    What am I missing?

    Hard to say without seeing your sheet. You can try highlighting your row 4 cells, hitting Ctrl+1, go to the Protection tab and ensure the Locked box is checked
    TechRetard.ToString();

    There are always multiple ways to do something, when it doubt, drink a beer.

    I do not care if you rep or not but please mark post as Solved if there is resolution so I stop going back and checking if anything else is needed.
