'Hidden' simply refers to whether or not you want the formulas you have
written into the particular cell to be visible or not when a user
selects that cell. If the box is unchecked the user can see the
contents of the cell in the formula bar above the column headers.

'Locked' renders the cell read-only so users cannot change or delete
contents.

Another thing to remember is that locking or hiding cells has no effect
unless you protect the sheet of the workbook you are using.

go toolsprotection protect sheet to do so.
