Password security

how do you password protect anybody seeinga spreadsheet

RE: password security

Hi Robert, Thanks for the post, In answer to your question if you wish to stop anyone without the correct password from opening your Workbook there are two methods;
1. When you save the Workbook, in the Save As dialog box, Click the little drop down arrow next to the Tools Menu option, from the Menu which opens choose General Options, Insert Password and Confirm it. Give the File a Name and save it in the folder of your choice.
2. Whilst the Workbook is open go to Menu command Tools>Options and from the Security tab enter and confirm pasword as necessary.
I hope that helps, best regards Pete.


 

Excel tip:

Entering text in Multiple Worksheets

If you have a number of worksheets in a workbook that require the same information (data or tables) on each worksheet, this can be done as follows:

Hold down the Ctrl key and click one or more of the additional worksheet tabs (i.e. Sheet2, Sheet3, etc).

In your mainsheet (Sheet1) enter the required data or design a table.

When done 'Click' on the other sheet tabs and you will see that the information entered in Sheet1 is on all the other selected worksheets.

NB Do not forget to deselect the worksheets - otherwise you may add data to the main worksheet and all the selected worksheets will also have that data!
