Security

How can I check that my formulas are protected ?

RE: Security

Hi Elaine

first of all, check your whole worksheet is protected by hitting tools > Protection and depending on whether it says 'protect sheet' or 'unprotect sheet' you'll know

then, click on the cell that has the formula you want protecting and click format > cells.

click the protection tab at the top of the box you can now see and ensure 'protected' is checked.

that cell is protected, so you can go out of that box and now try typing something into that cell, Excel won't allow it

Hope this helps

Paul

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.
