I would try going to Tools - Protection - Unprotect Sheet/Unprotect
Worbook. My guess is that the sheet is protected and by selecting
"Unprotect Sheet" or "Unprotect Workbook" you should be able to edit
it. If it's password protected then try to figure who set the
password and ask if you can have access.

If that doesn't work try saving the file as a different name and then
open that new file.

All worksheets in all workbooks?

All sheets in one workbook?

What occurs when you try to edit any sheet?

Error message? Nothing?
