I just put a work sheet together and--- How do I protect the sheet to a point
where only certain cells can allow input from the end user??

Thanks,

Juan,
By default all cells in excel are protected or locked, select the cells you
want to unlock and go to format, cells, protection and uncheck locked, then
go to tools, protection, and protect sheet, enter a password if you want,
now only the cells that you unlocked can be edited. Be aware that this
protection is very easy to break, the code to do so can be found very easy,
but it will work for most people .

If you only need a few locked I would select them all first, Ctrl A, then
go to format, cells, protection and uncheck locked, then select the cells
you want to lock and go to format cells and check locked, the go to tools,
protection, and protect sheet, enter a password if you want, now the cells
that you locked can not be edited

select the cell you want the user to be able to select, then set the
formatting protection tab and remove the tick in the 'locked' box.
Then toolsprotectionprotect worksheet and remove the tick from locked
cells. Add a password if you want. This will allow users to only select the
unlocked cells.
