    Locking columns

    Morning guys,

    Having some problems with protecting sheets. I've tried the wizard with no luck, so can anyone give me a step by step way of doing the following please:

    I want to lock the entire sheet with the exception of columns F,G and H, that I want staff to be able to enter values in.
    Many thanks
