Hi Max, I tried your suggestion and when I try to uncheck the locked on the
cells withing the column, I get an error message "cannot change part of a
merged cell". In my invoice sheet I need to protect only the area H15 to H29
and leave the rest of the sheet unprotected so data can be added. Any
suggestions?

Assuming the col with the formulas is col C,
with data input in say, cols A and B

Try this:
Select cols A & B
Click Format Cells Protection tab
Uncheck "Locked" OK

Then just protect the sheet via:
Click Tools Protection Protect Sheet [Password?] OK

This'll protect every cell on the sheet (inclusive col C)
other than cols A and B
