To prevent accidental changes to your data,
you can lock worksheet cells. When you lock selected cells, you cannot
make changes to them until you unlock them. When you lock cells, users
can unlock the data and make changes unless you add password protection
to the worksheet. For security or confidentiality reasons, you might
want to hide formulas from view. If so, you can hide or unhide them
using the Protection tab in the Format Cells dialog box.
