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?

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.

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