Is there a way to allow users to add data, but not delete?

We have a spreadsheet that we want multiple users to enter their data. However we don't want any of them to have the ability to delete any data. Is this possible?

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
Some suggestions...

I would say to consider employing a UserForm so you can control how the data is entered. Where the worksheet is protected and the only way the user could add data to the worksheet is through the UserForm.

Or a data entry sheet which you can with a macro transfer to the protected summary worksheet which contains each record added from the input sheet.

Love your suggestion #1, but am afraid that is over my head - I wouldn't know where to start to add a user form.
