Hi Hemu,

Since you are new to VBA, you should get familiar with the macro recorder.

Start by unblocking all cells except the one cell. The option can be found under the Protection tab of Cell Properties.

Then record a macro > protect and unprotect sheet with password.
Check to see how that looks like.

Use that recorded code together with a logic like:
If range(your cell) = "Yes" then
use the protect sheet part
elseif range(your cell) = "No" then
use the unprotect sheet part
end if

Let us know how it goes.

Best regards,
Trowa
