Good afternoon everyone.

I have an Excel order form we use with our customers for them to place small orders but I need to protect the formulae while retaining its functionality.

Each cell in column C has the =sum(A2*B2/1000) to calculate the correct meterage from the quantity and length.
Column C also has a grand total sum formula in cell C13 at present.

I need to prevent customers amending/deleting the formulae whilst still ensuring that the formulae work and allow them to enter values in columns A and B and it carry out the calculation.

What's the best way to go about this?

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.
