Default sheet and workbook protection

Can you protect a sheet and workbook so that rows, columns and formulas
cannot be changed, but others can add data (filling cells with data)

Default sheet and workbook protection

All cells are locked by default, but locking does not mean anything until
you protect the worksheet from ToolsProtection menu.

--First select any cells that a user is allowed to change
--Hit Ctrl + 1 and go to the 'Security' tab to unlock these cells.
--Go to Tools-Protection-Protect Sheet, and you can assign a password
(optional)
