Can anyone suggest a way to unlock a range of single cells
let me do some work
and then re lock them again

Starting from P11
every 6 columns right till AZ11
and every 7 rows down to the last row (around 13000ish)


eg.
P11, V11, AB11.....AZ11
P15, V15, AB15.....AZ15
.
.
.etc

I could ctrl click/every one :eek:
format
protection
unlock

do my work then start over, but I think thats gonna cause RSI and i need my hand for other things, like raising a toast to the guys on this forum

Oh please let there be an answer!!

Maybe try:

Code: 
Sub Test()
 
Dim lastRow As Long, myRow As Long, myCol As Long
lastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "P").End(xlUp).Row
For myRow = 11 To lastRow Step 7
    For myCol = 16 To 52 Step 6
        Cells(myRow, myCol).Locked = False
    Next myCol
 
Next myRow
End Sub

You did say every 7 rows but your example suggests different so double check before running.
