Default Hiding formulas in a Worksheet without password

Last line shoiuld read: the numbers in formulas do change with above
selection not "Formulas do change ...."

The dropdowns were unolcked. However, because the formulas cells are
protected, they can only be read (according to the error message). Below is
the setup:
Selection 1
Selection2
Selection3

Date1 Date2 Date3
SubjetcA Formulas Formulas Formulas
SubjectB Formulas Formulas Formulas
SubjectC Formulas Formulas Formulas

Cells with formulas do change with above selections.

Unlock the cells that are used with the dropdowns.

You don't have to lock all the cells on a worksheet. You don't have to unlock
all the cells, either.

Dave, Thanks!
This does not work because the cells with the formulas are supposed to
change when a user makes some selections from drop down lists.

You can select the cells with the formulas that should be hidden
Format|cells|protection tab|click locked and hidden

Then protect the worksheet (tools|Protection|protect sheet). But don't supply a
password.

Greetings
How can I hide and protect formulas in a worksheet that I want to share with
other users but don't want to have to use a password?
Thanks a bunch!
