Excel

Is is possible to hide information in a sheet or a sheet from some people but not others?

RE: Excel

Hi Annabelle

Thank you for your question - I will check regarding a way of partially locking a workbook for some people whilst letting others still work with the data. I will message you when I have further information.

Please send my best to everyone and thank you again for your time and hospitality.

Kind regards,
Andrew

RE: Excel

Hi Annabelle

I hope all is well with you.

I have checked and it seems that it's possible but it requires a permissions server to make it work. Here's a link to the Microsoft site with further information.

I hope this is helpful, I'm sorry it's not a more accessible solution.

Do let me know if you have any further questions.


Kind regards,
Andrew


 

Excel tip:

Ctrl+d's double life

Suppose I have a formula in B1 that I wish to copy into B2:B10. I can select B1:B10 then press Ctrl+d to copy the formula down the selected range. Users generally ignore this shortcut in favour of double-clicking on the fill handle to copy down, but Ctrl+d is useful sometimes particularly when there is no data in surrounding columns to guide to how far the double-click method should copy formulae.

Ctrl+d has another use though. When I use the drawing toolbar to draw objects such as Text Boxes, Rectangles and Ovals onto a worksheet, Ctrl+d makes an instant duplicate of selected shapes. For example, I need five Text Boxes the same size. I draw one Text box and adjust it to the size I want, select it, then press Ctrl+d four times to get four identical copies.
