Hide formulas
Select the cells to be hidden.
FormatCellsProtection. Checkmark "hidden"........they will be locked also by default. Now ToolsProtectionProtect Sheet. You may want to leave other cells unlocked for editing. First hit CTRL + A to select all cells. Unlock these. Now select the cells to be hidden and locked and do so. Now protect the sheet.

Hide formulas
Just a warning.
Worksheet protection, even with a password, is very weak. A determined user can find ways to see your formulas.
