Gray non-input ready cells

HI Gurus

I have a requirement in the input-schdeules to gray-out the cells which are not input-ready (like in BI-IP) so that if the template is not showing data on basemember level, user should not try to save the data only to get the error that data can not be saved.

In the standard template, this functionality is already there but when i tried to copy the formatting option (where calc=y, format gray) but it didnt work for me.

Please help me on this.

Regards

Swathi

Hi,

Your criteria should be CALC and under the format, you can make the cell as gray and locked. After creating the advanced formatting section, you should refer to this area in the formatoption.

Once the expansion is run, the calculated members will become gray and should be locked. However, the locking will not work, unless, the sheet is protected. So, please lock the sheet using workbook options.

Hope this helps.
