Incorrect validation of a protected range name

created 9 years ago

Hello,

Is there any way to lock special cell range from editing?

I tried to use sample code from help.

// Give specific user permission to edit a range in a protected worksheet.
            ProtectedRange protectedRange = sheet.ProtectedRanges.Add("My Range", sheet["A1:D25"]);
            EditRangePermission permission = new EditRangePermission()
            {
                UserName = "Everyone",
                Deny = true,
            };
            protectedRange.SecurityDescriptor = protectedRange.CreateSecurityDescriptor(new EditRangePermission[] { permission });
            protectedRange.SetPassword("asdfgy7a6s78df786as8d");

And it throws exception
"The title 'My Range' contains illegal characters. Range titles may only contain letters, numbers, spaces, and must begin with a letter."

How can I solve this problem?

Regards.

    Hello,
    I've reproduced this exception and agree that spaces should be allowed in the range name. So, I have passed this issue to our R&D team.
    Please watch for our updates. We will notify you as soon as we make any progress.
