Default I want to protect a cell but allow formula values only

Hi
you can simply protect the cells with formulas. they will
get calculated if the cells referenced by this formula are
changed. So no problem protecting your formula cell.

Hello, i have a worksheet with some formulas in it. I
have the sheet protected, but there are some cells i
cannot protect because if i do, values calculated by
formulas will not populate them. When i leave them
unprotected, there is a risk of people typing their own
value in and erasing the formula. How can i truly

protect
my sheet? I want to alllow data to be populated in
certain cells, but only by formulas, not by a user typing
in whatever they want. Your help greatly appreciated.
