How do I put a formula into an unlocked cell on protected workshee

As soon as I protect a worksheet the function button on the toolbar is greyed
out. I can still type the formula into an unprotected cell manually, but
can't select a formula from the greyed out Function button on the toolbar.
Why does the function button become unavailable as soon as I protect the
sheet? This did not happen in the past.

Hi,

Most odd. I've tried to replicate this in E2003, E2007 & E2010 and I can't.

Can you let us know the Excel version your using?

Clarify what you mean by 'unprotected cell'. For example do you mean an
'Unlocked' cell on a protected sheet?

Is the workbook protected?

Is it shared?

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.
