Final answer:
Unlocking the cells in the range A12:D40 allows users to input or modify data, facilitating easy updates or inputs. This action is necessary because locked cells prevent changes, which is not ideal for cells designated for data entry on weekly worksheets.
Explanation:
The purpose of unlocking the data-entry cells on the weekly worksheets by selecting the range A12:D40 is to allow users to input or modify data in those specific cells. When cells are locked, it prevents any changes from being made, which can be useful for preserving the integrity of formulas or static data. However, for data entry purposes, it is important to have certain cells unlocked to facilitate easy updates or inputs by the user.
To unlock these cells while worksheets are grouped, you should first select the range A12:D40 by either clicking and dragging across these cells or clicking the first cell (A12), holding down the Shift key, and clicking the last cell (D40). Once selected, you can then adjust the cell protection settings to unlock the cells. This range selection process is critical to ensuring that the worksheets allow data entry where necessary, while keeping other cells protected.
