Default How do you prevent users from changing certain cells?

or you can use data validation to "lock" a cell here & there (if your
users won't know how to unlock it). just choose custom & then in the
formula i use =0 (so anything they enter is "wrong"), & then in the
error alert i choose "stop" with a message that says "Formula cell.
No manual entry allowed!"
just an idea

I would like to allow users to change certain cells but not the formulas in
other cells. *The "Protection" feature doesn't prevent someone from
changing
one of the cells with formulas.
