If the worksheet is protected, you can select the next available unlocked cell by pressing the TAB key. Microsoft Excel will select the next unlocked cell that is to the right or below the active cell. If there is no unlocked cell to the right or below the active cell, then the top-left unlocked cell in the worksheet is selected.
