I have 2 tables on 2 different sheets with 10 columns each and 6 of the 10 columns have INDEX formulas. Both sheets have the same table headers.

I would like to protect the columns that have a formula in them while keeping the table expandable. So if I can somehow add a row to the table, the formulas need to be autofilled in the cells too. Exactly like it would normally happen if it were not protected...

In other words, I need to protect 12 columns spread inside 2 tables with the exact same headers on 2 different sheets so people dont mess with the formulas.

How can I do that? I believe I would need a VBA script, right?

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
