Locking a column

How do I hide and lock one or more columns without locking the whole sheet. I know with hide that the person can then simply unhide so I need a way to lock the columns and make them untouchable?

For upcoming training course dates see: Pricing & availability

RE: Locking a column

Hi Laura

Once you have hidden the column, simpy put a password on the sheet

TOOLS > PROTECTION > PROTECT SHEET
add a password
verify password

When you do this, the other user will not be able to make a modification to the sheet, unless they have your password.

Regards

Richard

Excel tip:

COUNT function vs COUNTA function

The COUNTA function works in the same way as the COUNT function, except that it will count cells that contain text (labels) and also cells that contain numbers (values). The COUNT function will only count cells that contain numbers. Blank cells are not counted by either the COUNT or the COUNTA function.
