If you spent hours, or even days, working on an Excel file that you're getting ready to share with a larger group, you may not want to give everyone a copy of that file where they can change all of the values. If there are some fields or values you want to remain fairly static, it's easy to lock specific fields in your Excel file.

Every Excel cell is Locked by default; it only takes effect after Review > Protect Sheet. Steps: select the input cells, Format Cells > Protection > clear Locked, then Protect Sheet, then test a locked and an open cell. Source: Microsoft Support.
Protect your Excel templates the smart way. Unlock only the input cells, then protect the sheet so formulas stay safe in shared files.
