How to stop a row updating once locked
I have a sheet that i use as a list of open projects, it pulls names, dates and descriptions form other sheets, I want to be able to lock the data in the row once finished, as I don't want anything updating once the project is finished, but I want to be able to refer to the data to track project history, I tried adding a tick box and if the box is ticked it will lock the row, but the rows columns still update?

I hope you're well and safe!
This might help.
You'd copy the data to another sheet and then you can add to the formula to check this so-called helper sheet and use the data if there's a match.
Please have a look at my post below with a method I developed.

Make sense?

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!
