Default Should not show formulas given in excel

FormatCellsProtection. Make sure to checkmark "locked" and "hidden"

ToolsProtectionProtect Sheet. Checkmark removed from Allow user to "select
locked cells"

Note: Excel's internal security is quite weak and easily cracked.

Do not rely on it to keep your formulas and data from prying eyes.

I had given some formulas in my excel file. I need to prevent anybody else to
see what formula I had given. If someone can help me to lock a sheet
completely also it would be of great help.
