get results without being able to modify, change or delete any of the
formating or formulations.

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.
