RE: How to Protect me workbook ?

Hello Esson

Thank you for your question.

To password protect a workbook (against being opened or modified) go to File-Save as.

Click the Tools button in the Save As dialogue box, and select General Options. Then you can set a password to open or a password to modify.

If you wish to apply protection to a worksheet, not a workbook, then this can be done on the sheet itself, by going to Tools - Protection - Protect Sheet.

Kind regards
Amanda

Excel tip:

Reconciling a list to correspond with another

May have a list that needs to make but on another sheet one list seems to be out, eg. product list one sheet contains all product and inventory data, while the other contains pricing data. Both need to match with all products but there is more products in one list than the other. To find the disparaging product compare data in the two columns that need to match Make sure that order the same way.
Create another column in the sheet that has the most items and type in the first cell

=Exact(text1,text2) text1 being the cell that you want compared with text2 cell reference. Drag to filldown and your first false will give you for first cells that does not match. Correct insert the row with data in other sheet and continue the process until all the data returns true. Delete the column inserted.
