    Hi

    I am using spreadsheets on my forms, Could you please advise how to only accept numeric values with 2 decimals on some of the cells?

    Some of the cells are to collect data from the users and other cells have the formula to obtain percentage, but the results have too many decimal digits

    Also, Is it possible to make the user note in any way by adding colour to the background or fonts or blocking the cells, to only add data to some cells and do not input data on the formula cells?

    You can use the Read-Only option on spreadsheet widget. Here are the steps to make your cells read-only:

    >> Go to Widget Settings > Scroll down > add all the cells that you want in the read-only mode under Read-only section > Click on update widget.

    Here is a screenshot form reference:

    And you can add a text message for users filling out the form that the value to be entered should be numeric only. The question text in your widget is empty so you can take advantage of that and place in the text message there.
