Ijay,

First select all the cells you want your users to be able to enter data in
and then click Format - Cells - Protection and un-check the locked tab.

The Tools - Protection - Protect sheet and apply a password if you want and
your formula and formatting should be safe.

Please note that Excel security is weak so anyone with a mind to could
bypass this.

Tools protection - unprotect sheet.

If you set a password you will be prompted to enter it.
