Just select the cells for which you want to protect and do right
clickFormat CellsProtectionTick Both Locked & Hidden Check boxes and
give ok. By clicking locked will make the cell not accessible and by giving

Unlock all the cells which ever you want the people to have access as
mentioned below:

Editing option and do right clickFormat CellsProtectionUncheck Both the
Locked & Hidden Check
boxes and give ok.

Now Protect the worksheet with a password

ToolsProtection Click Protect Sheet OR press Alt+T+P+P and Provide your
desired password Twice and give ok.

Keep in mind that now the worksheet is getting protected and the locked

(I went there before) See, when I protect the sheet a user can see the result
(of the formula) but can't copy it because it is protected , when I remove
the protection the user will have access on the formula (which I dont want
to).

In short, I want the user to view the result of the formula & copy the
result, only the result without the formula.
I appreciate your support.

A possible solution:
Set the cell up as Ms-Exl-Learner suggests lets say A1 then before
preotecting the sheet in say B1 enter the formula =A1. Make sure B1 has
protection removed. Format the font in A1 the same colour as the cell
background to hide the contents.
Now protect the sheet
Your user can now see the results of the calculation, copy it and only see
the calculation as =A1
Hope this helps

You people are mind reader :), Im using this method but still I want the
user to have the result so he can work with if he needs.

I got an Email with Excel sheet which calculates your age & have some other
interesting functions, I dont have the promotion to see the sheets formulas
still I can copy the result without any access to the formula. So it is
possible, but how?
