Default How to Validate Excel for SOX (Sarbanes & Oxley)

I'm in the middle of a SOX audit and one of the issues that came up was Excel
reports used for journal entries in our ERP. We were told that we will need
to validate Excel in order to use our spreadsheets and also be in compliance
with SOX. I can think of a few things to do, but any help would be greatly
appreciated.
Can Excel be validated?
My thoughts:
1. lock the formulas
2. Restrict Access to cells
3. Password protect
4. Turn tracking on - will this track any changes that is done with formulas
& macros?

Anything anyone can contribute to this would be appreciated.

Dan
