    Data Validation - Formula in Cell Not allow any changes

    Hi everyone,

    I want to restrict to make any changes in a column in excel table. There is already a formula in that column and users shouldn't be able to make any changes by mistake. I am unable to do that.

    Please help in this regard.

    If you want to lock a sheet - goto the review tab - Protect sheet (read the options)

    If you JUST want to lock just the one column - Highlight the whole sheet (Click on the top left corner between 1 & A)
    Right click - Format Cells - Protection Tab - Uncheck Lock
    Then highlight the column you want to lock - Format Cells...

    Then Review - Protect Sheet
