Default Formulas

By default all cells in a worksheet are locked when sheet protection is
enabled.

It is up to you to decide which are to be locked or unlocked when the sheet
is protected.

FormatCellsProtection is where you would change the "locked" or "unlocked"
status.

Select all cells and unlock them.

Select the cells to be locked and lock them

Then ToolsProtectProtect Sheet.......add a password.

Note the selectable options under "allow users to" when protecting.

Is there a way to lock formulas in a worksheet so that users may enter data
but cannot accidently mess up the calculations needed for the form created?
