    How do i lock formulas in a spreasheet?

    Hi,

    I created a spreadsheet for my invoicing but I keep accidently deleting the formulas and having to reinput them again.

    Is there a way I can lock all the formulas?

    Thanks,
    Angie

    1) Highlight the cells you want to be able to edit
    2) Press CTRL-1 to open the "format cells" window
    3) On the PROTECTION tab, uncheck the "Locked" option.

    4) No protect the sheet. Tools >> Protection >> Protect Sheet... set whatever advanced settings you want.


    Now the cells you unlocked are editable, the rest are not.
