How do I protect selected cells on my worksheet?
I have a worksheet/workbook which is used by different Cashiers to summarise
their daily Bankings at the end of each. The worhsheet has columns on which data is entered and totals are calculated in one column where I have put formulae. I often have problems with some Cashiers who erroneuosly errase fumulae by touching wrong buttons. how do I protect the cells which have formulae so that no one type in anything to avoid errasind the formulae? |

How do I protect selected cells on my worksheet?
Select the cells that should be able to be changed and do:
format|cells|Protection tab|uncheck locked Select the cells that should not be able to be changed (formulas/titles/etc): format|cells|Protection tab|check locked Then protect the worksheet. tools|protection|protect sheet This password can be broken quite easily--so don't depend on this to stop users from finding stuff you don't want found! And be aware that lots of stuff is disabled if you protect the worksheet. You may want to test it to see if it's too restrictive for your purposes.
