I have several areas in my worksheet that I need to protect th
formula's, my spreadsheet also has auto filter therefore I can'
protect the worksheet or the filter won't work.

The end user of this worksheet will also need to have the ablitity t
delete rows.

The area that I need to protect are as follows:
T17:T83
X17:X83
AE17:AE83
AI17:AI83
AK17:AK83
AW17:AW83

AQ1:AU13

OR if it is easier any cell that contains a formula.

Any and all help is appreciated

If you're using Excel 2002 or higher, you should be able to protect your
worksheet and also allow the user to use the AutoFilter as well as delete
rows. When protecting the sheet, check "Use AutoFilter" and "Delete rows" in
the "Allow all users of this worksheet to:" check list. If you're using a
prior version of Excel, this selectivity is not available.
