OpenOffice / oocalc : protect specific cells

The problem :

I've got a calc sheet for calculating some grades.
Hence, after setting all the formulas (you may want to have a look at the SUMPRODUCT(notes*percent) function ;-) ), I want to actually enter the grades I gave.

What I want to do is not to mess around with the cell containing formulas while I am entering data.

How to (un)-lock specific cells



  1. Select the cell you want to still modify.

  2. right-click: Format-Cells -> "Cell Protection" tab => uncheck "protected".

  3. Tools -> Protect Document -> sheet

  4. Uncheck "select locked cells" and check "select unlocked cells".



Now only the cells selected in step 1) should be the only ones you can select and modify !
