It is not clear to me what you want to do. Can you post a formula and desribe what you want to do with it? Maybe this UDF? Function EvalCell(RefCell As String) Application.Volatile EvalCell = Evaluate(RefCell) End Function =evalcell(cellref) Which does nothing more than return the value from the formula in cellref. Just as easy to enter =cellref Evalcell function is handy to return a value from a string such as 1+2+3 Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP...

The answer to both your points can be found in the MS help. Search for "Protect worksheet elements" The first point is quite simple. In the ribbon select view and in the "Show hide" area simply untick Formula Bar. The other is quite lengthy so try the help solution.
