I've created an order form in Excel.

Some fields I'm happy for users to update, but the ones with formulas I'd like to protect.

Whats the simpliest way to do this? It doesn't need to be secure or passworded.

thanks

Shade all formula cells
To shade all formula cells: Home, Find & Select, Formulas to select all formulas. Then apply a light fill color.
As far as I am aware the easiest way (not using VBA) is to protect the sheet and protect the cells you don't want the user to edit.
