Is there a way to lock a row based on criteria in that row? For example, I want the row to lock if the "Tier" column is a "2" or "3." Thanks.

This keeps me from having to scroll through long sheets looking for any parent rows that I may have missed locking or child rows that I may have missed unlocking.
I also double that up with conditional formatting to have a specific format set for each level of hierarchy. That helps with consistency throughout while again keeping me from having to look through thousands of lines.
