    does anyone know how I can lock or unlock a cell based on a condition of another cell?

    This event macro lets you edit B1 if A1 equals yes

    See what you think

    Will need to be VBA

    What "Kind" of condition are you talking about?

    Use the Worksheet_Change event

    Well - maybe an equation + conditional formatting???
    My situation would be a piece of cake if conditional formatting would allow a cell to be lock or unlocked base on a condition
