how do I lock formulas, but I can still delete data?

[Dave]

I can delete data, but it delets the formula. Is there any way to lock a
formula, but can still clear data?

Thanks

Two ways

1) If it's just for you go to Edit>Go to>Special... and select 'Constants'
and/or numbers and text and pres the delete key
2) For all users, select all the cells you want to delete. (You might do
this by method 1) and then go to Format>Cells>Protection and un-check
locked. Now go to Tools>Protection>Protect sheet... and you will now only be
able to delete the cells you want deleted.

Edit>Go To(or F5)>Special>Constants. Tickmark what you want selected then OK
your way out.

Edit>Delete what is highlighted.
