How to use standard protect-formula for column while keeping formula active in column. Don't want anyone attempting to input data in these cells. I've used "Comment" saying "NO Data Entry Required: formula will determine", but want a backup protection. Can this be done without a password?

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.

Click to expand...

Go to Format/Cells/Protection click locked and hidden. Then to Tools/Protect/Protect Worksheet. Enter without password
