HOW TO PASSWORD PROTECT SHEET?

Post by monis »

Hi,

I have an excel file containing a number of sheets, I will name them sheet 1,2,3,4 and 5.

The issue I have is this.

Sheet 1 need to be restricted access. Only certain people can view / edit as they contain sensitive data. Sheets 2, 3,4 and 5 are open access and can be viewed by anyone.

Is there a way of password protecting that only certain people can access sheet 1.

Thanks

If you want strict security, an Excel workbook is not the correct tool. It is easy for someone who knows Excel and VBA to break the protection.
Best wishes,
