Hi Tim
Thanks for your question
To lock/unlock cells simply go to the home ribbon, and launch the font group dialogue. Go to the Protection tab and tick/un-tick the locked box
To protect cells, simply lock those cells you wish to protect and then go to Review ribbon and click Protect Sheet.
Regards
Stephen

Here are two quick ways to add the date and time to your spreadsheet:
1) Type =NOW(), which displays both date and time in the same cell
or
2) Hold Ctrl and type the colon (:) into one cell for the date and the semi-colon(;)into another for the time.
Note that =NOW() updates to the current date/time whenever the spreadsheet recalculates.
