By default all cells on a sheet are locked when you protect the sheet.
Best is to select all cells by CTRL + a and unlock all by going to
FormatcellsProtection Tab.
Then select those cells which you want locked(formula cells) and set them to

Now protect the sheet. Users can edit unlocked cells.
See options for allowables when go to ToolsProtect Sheet

Not a PC wise person so a answer in easy english is best.
