Can I protect the formulas in a Worksheet but allow data inputting?

 

[Luke M]

Under cell format, protection, uncheck the box marked "locked" for the cells
you want users to be able to input data into.

 

[Dave Peterson]

You can lock all the cells that should be "protected" -- include other stuff
(headers/instructions/etc) that you don't want touched.

And you can unlock all the cells that the user can change.

Then protect the worksheet.

Select the cells to lock or unlock
Format|cells|protection tab (xl2003 menus)
and check Lock (or uncheck it)

You can protect the sheet by:
tools|Protection|protect sheet
(and give it a nice password)

Be aware that there are many things that can't be done on a protected
worksheet. You'll want to check to see if that's a problem for you.

And this worksheet protection is easily broken. Don't expect it to stop anyone
who really wants to break into your worksheet.
