    Is there a way to protect individual cells?

    I have a few cells in my spreadsheet which contain formulas and I would like to protect those cells from being accidentally edited. Is there a way to do this?

    Yes, First select the entire worksheet and format cells>Protection and uncheck "Locked"
    Then select the cells you want to protect and do the same but Lock them. Then Protect worksheet with a password. Does that work for you?

    Right click -> Format cells -> protection -> Uncheck Locked

    then

    Review -> Protect sheet -> Select Locked or Unlocked cells (wich you want to be selected or not)
    Never use Merged Cells in Excel

    If your problem is solved, please say so clearly, and mark your thread as Solved: Click the Edit button on your first post in the thread, Click Go Advanced, select [SOLVED] from the Prefix dropdown, then click Save Changes. If more than two days have elapsed, the Edit button will not appear -- ask a moderator to mark it.
