    Cell protection

    I have a spreadsheet with formulas that autofill the cells they're in. I would like to protect those cells, so that users don't change them by mistake, but when I protect them, they don't autofill anymore... how can I do this? Thanks!

    What do you mean? Locked cells containing formulae continue to work whether the sheet is protected or not, so what do you mean by 'autofill'?
