If referring to MS Excel workbooks/worksheets..........

By default, all cells are locked when you protect the sheet.

Select the cells you wish to leave unlocked for entry.

Format>Cells>Protection. Uncheck "locked" option.

Now tools>Protection>Protect Sheet.

If some other application...........???
