all cells are by default in a status locked , but protection is off (disabling the locking).<br />
<br />
So to lock cells, do the following.<br />
First select the cells that need to be 'unlocked' (able to change) and right click and select format.<br />
in the tab Protection, uncheck the box Locked for all cell that need to be changed by the user.<br />
<br />
then perform a 'protect sheet' or 'protect workbook' to enable the locking. You can add a password to disable them from turning of the protection.<br />
Make sure you remember the password if you set one... (they used to be easy to crack, but with the newer version are quite hard)

Representational state transfer (REST) is an architectural style that gives a coordinated set of constraints to the design of components in a distributed hypermedia system used to design networked applications. RESTful systems typically communicate over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) with the same HTTP verbs (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.) that web browsers use to retrieve web pages and to send data to remote servers. REST interfaces with external systems using resources identified by Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be operated upon using standard verbs.
