On an excel spreadsheet that I have, I have a column which I want
locked so only validated data can be placed in the cells.  However,
there are multiple acceptable choices (ie column 1 could include choice
a and choice c).  Is there any way to allow for this?

You can do this with a data validation dropdown list and
programming. There's an example here:

Under Data Validation, look for 'DV0017 - Select Multiple Items from
Dropdown List'
