Hello, in Google Sheets (not in Excel):

I am looking for a solution to lock (neither modify / nor delete) a cell based on the value of another.

Thank you for your help..
Best regards.

      Hello, and thank you for your help.

      Since this is a Google Sheets file, here is a link with editing access.

      https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dPun_8OXvj9Ga_sk_IQPWrPG5oC1xa6XDSx9Ye50gtY/edit?usp=sharing

      Currently, I managed with a "data validation" trick to make it so that the cells in a row can no longer be edited when the one at the end of the row is checked. However, what I don't like is that you can still easily erase the contents of the row..

      Thank you in advance.
      P.S.: This is a file I want to create for an association.

      Best regards
