Before you protect the sheet you'll need to unlock the cells in which you
want to be able key in data.

How to unlock a cell or a range of cells:
1. Right click on the cell(s) you want to unlock
2. Choose "Format Cells"
3. Click on the "Protection" tab
4. Remove the tick where it says "Locked"

Now it is time to protect the sheet.
