HI,
Because formula fields are automatically calculated, they are read-only and cannot be edited from UI by users.

There is also an idea on salesforce IdeaExchange for the same. https://trailblazer.salesforce.com/ideaView?id=08730000000BpXoAAK
The idea's comment explains a possible approach for the user-specified scenario(which you can try if it matches your requirement). 

Please consider upvoting this idea so that Salesforce product development team can implement it in upcoming releases.
