    Protecting a sheet and allowing validation entry to be deleted still

    Hi, hopefully the last question for today...!
    I have created a sheet, with validation data list of numbers 1-10 in it.
    I have protected the sheet, but allowed users to edit that cell (i.e. select the figure from the drop down whatever it may be).
    However, if they make a mistake and sleect '3' for example but meant '2', the protection is not allowing them to delete this and re-enter it.
    Any ideas how I can allow this, in Excel 2010?

    Hi NJS1982,

    Rather than deleting 3, users can choose 2 from the drop down list... why you want them to first delete 3 and then choose 2 from the drop down list ?
