I have a situation where I have a composite column that has a very specific and in depth formula that I do not want anyone to have the ability to accidently alter and am looking for suggestions on best practices to keep this column so only I have control over it. With that said I still need the remainder of the worksheet to have full functionality for end users and would like to do so without requiring users to enter a password, is this possible?

Round to nearest half hour?
Use =MROUND(A2,"0:30") to round to nearest half hour. Use =CEILING(A2,"0:30") to round to next half hour.
