Jack, I've thought about locking parts of the sheet and only making a small amount editable. I don't love that it goes against the openness of the project, but the bigger issue is that I don't actually work on this in Sheets, I do everything in Excel and upload it. There are plenty of things that Sheets can't properly use from Excel and I don't know whether the protections will carry over. If anyone has any experience with that, it would be good to know to save me experimenting myself.

As for an app, I'm a finance guy. I have no idea how to write an app, on the web or otherwise. The cow made fun of me early on in this process for how easy an app this would be to write and how I was being silly in doing it in Excel, but he never took me up on my goading to execute the project himself.

If someone with more expertise on that front wants to program something, they're more than welcome.
