How to Protect Cells that Contain Formulas in Excel

In my experience, many Excel users get frustrated and confused when they try to protect the worksheet cells that contain formulas. In this tutorial, I walk you through the three steps in the process.

We want to allow a user to enter and edit numeric values in some cells, while preventing any changes to the cells that contain formulas.

The key concept to understand: By default, all cells in an Excel Worksheet are "Locked." So, we need to select the input cells first and then "Unlock" them before protecting the worksheet.
