Hi, I would like to have a spread sheet that displays a set of cells when only certain cells are to be editied.

How can I "Lock" cells (for the need of a better word) so that they can be viewed, function calculate but they cannot be edited.

Ps I want to "lock" most of the sheet with only a select few fields that can be edited/changed
 

Excel Facts

Repeat Last Command
Pressing F4 adds dollar signs when editing a formula. When not editing, F4 repeats last command.
"You need Normal method or <acronym title="visual basic for applications" style="border-width: 0px 0px 1px; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); cursor: help; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: rgb(250, 250, 250);">VBA</acronym> Method.
And also you have to Lock it with a password."

I don't know what normal method or VBA Method are, plus I don't need a password

Thanks anyway
