RE: Unprotect a cell

First unlock the worksheet (Tools > Protection > Unlock Worksheet)
Then unprotect the cell (right click on cell > format cells > protection tab)
Relock the worksheet if required (Tools > Protection > Lock Worksheet)

Excel tip:

Stop Formula Returning A "#DIV/0" Error

If a formula returns a #DIV/0 error message there is a way to avoid such results.

For example the formula =A1/B1 will return a #DIV/0 if B1 is empty or a zero.

If you protect your formulas with the ISERROR function, the formula will then look like this:

=IF(ISERROR(A1/B1),0,A1/B1)

In plain English: should the result of A1 divided by B1 be an error change the result to 0 else show the result of A1/B1.
