    Protect formula

    I have a excel spread sheet that I have Protect all formula but in this one
    roll I have this formula =SUM(G45) but what I need to do is let others add to
    the formula like =SUM(G45)+2000+3000 so I need to Protect this =SUM(G45) and
    let them add to it


    Hope some one can help

    You can select which cells are protected and which ones are left open to be changed.

    By default, all cells are formated as 'protected'. Unprotect your sheet, highlight the cell you want them to be able to change, Select FORMAT\CELLS\PROTECTION and untick the locked checkbox. Then reprotect your sheet.

    Put your formula in a protected cell. Set up another cell for their
    input. In another cell put a formula that sums your protected cell
    and the "input" cell.
