Protect rows from getting deleted



Instructions on the worksheet ask people not to delete any rows. Someone will try to delete a row. Off to the right, select Z1:Z8. Type =2 and press Ctrl+Shift+Enter. This creates an array in those rows.

If someone tries to delete a row, Excel prevents it and shows a cryptic message about arrays, shown below.

When someone tries to delete a row in the area of rows 1 to 8, a message will appear with "You Can't Change Part Of an Array."
