How do I password protect a range of cells, rather than a whole sheet

RE: Protection

Hi Tom

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.

Good question! I'm not sure how you would do this or if it's possible - I will research this a bit further to see if I can come up with a definite answer for you.

Kind regards
Amanda

RE: Protection

I think you can only set the password for the whole sheet, but you can select which cells to lock.

This link gives info for version 2007, but I imagine it's similar for version 2003.

There are other links with more info on that page.

Excel tip:

Formula for last day of month

In some cases it is necessary to find the last day of a month for a given date. If you use the following formula, you can achieve this, ie; if you have a column of dates, use this formula to find the end of month for each day by using the fill handle. The formula is as follows, and assumes in this example that the first date in question is in cell C5, in any other cell type; =DATE(YEAR(C5),MONTH(C5)+1,1)-1
