How do I lock out cells where I have put formulas so that someone else can't type over that cell? Thanks.

Copy a format multiple times
Select a formatted range. Double-click the Format Painter (left side of Home tab). You can paste formatting multiple times. Esc to stop
Go to Format/Cells, click on Protection. Then go to Tools/Protection/protect worksheet

On the specific cell, right click. Select format, protection, and check off locked. In order for this to work, the worksheet must be protected (tools, protection, protect sheet, password, re-enter password).

I have done both of these things. It doesn't work. Am I missing something?
