Hi

basically, you need to "unlock" the bits you want people to get to (format /
cell / protection and untick the locked check box) and then protect the
sheet (tools / protection / protect sheet).

how do I protect a single row or group of rows (or columns) without
protecting the entire sheet. I have tried everything that I can think of
but nothing works. I have a spreadsheet that tracks labor hours. I have
several rows and columns I need protected, leaving areas for data entry.
