Repeating condition in VBA

Question

I am setting up a spreadsheet to trend data for analytical testing of chemical products. I would like for each line of data to be locked once the transcription of said data has been verified by the reviewer. I am able to lock a single line using this code in VBA:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Range("X3") = "No" Then
Range("B3:W3").Locked = False
ElseIf Range("X3") = "Yes" Then
Range("B3:W3").Locked = True
End If
End Sub

Column X contains a dropdown list with "Yes" and "No" as the two options. I would like for each line of data, as it is added to the sheet, to be locked once the reviewer has selected yes in this column to make sure no unintended changes are made to past data. Is this possible without having to repeat the about code for each line indefinitely?

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

Dim xPassword As String

Dim xRgAddress As String

Dim xLockRgAddress As String

Dim Row As Integer



xPassword = "123456" 'Please replace 123456 with the password that protects the spreadsheet.

On Error Resume Next



If (Target.Column <> 24) Then

    Exit Sub

End If



Row = Target.Row

   



If Target = "Yes" Then

   If ActiveSheet.Range("B" & Row & ":W" & Row).Locked = False Then

       ActiveSheet.Unprotect (xPassword)

       ActiveSheet.Range("B" & Row & ":W" & Row).Locked = True

       ActiveSheet.Protect Password:=xPassword, DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True

   End If

ElseIf Target = "No" Then

   If ActiveSheet.Range("B" & Row & ":W" & Row).Locked = True Then

       ActiveSheet.Unprotect (xPassword)

       ActiveSheet.Range("B" & Row & ":W" & Row).Locked = False

       ActiveSheet.Protect Password:=xPassword, DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True

   End If

End If

    



End Sub
