    In the REVIEW tab, click "Protect Sheet" and make the settings as shown in the screenshot below.

    Click Ok, save and share the file.

    I am an Independent Advisor here to help you. I'm sorry to hear that you're having difficulties.

    Have you tried right-clicking a sheet and choosing 'protect sheet'?

    There are many options there.
