How can I protect certain cells in a spreadsheet while allowing others to edit?

Protecting certain cells while allowing others to edit is essential for maintaining data integrity in collaborative environments. In Excel, you can use the “Protect Sheet” option to lock specific cells by selecting the cells you want to protect, right-clicking, and choosing “Format Cells.” Under the “Protection” tab, check “Locked,” and then protect the sheet by setting a password. In Google Sheets, you can use the “Protected Sheets and Ranges” feature to protect specific ranges or cells. This way, only authorized users can edit certain parts of the spreadsheet while others remain editable for collaboration.
