Hi,
if you lock a cell which has a formula in it of which then returns a value in the same cell does the formula get deleted when you delete the cells value.
 

Excel Facts

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
A cell can contain either a constant or a formula.
If you delete the contents of a cell, whatever the cell contains is deleted.
