In the Password to unprotect sheet box, type a password for the sheet, click OK , and then retype the password to confirm it. The password is optional. If you do not supply a password, any user can unprotect the sheet and change the protected elements. Make sure that you choose a password that is easy to remember, because if you lose the password, you won't have access to the protected elements on the worksheet.
To give specific users permission to edit ranges in a protected worksheet, your computer must be running Microsoft Windows XP or later, and your computer must be in a domain. Instead of using permissions that require a domain, you can also specify a password for a range. To modify an existing editable range, select it in the Ranges unlocked by a password when sheet is protected box, and then click Modify. To delete an editable range, select it in the Ranges unlocked by a password when sheet is protected box, and then click Delete.
You can also click the Collapse Dialog button, select the range in the worksheet, and then click the Collapse Dialog button again to return to the dialog box. For password access, in the Range password box, type a password that allows access to the range. Specifying a password is optional when you plan to use access permissions.
Using a password allows you to see user credentials of any authorized person who edits the range. However it began to fail from the second time, not working at all, all the cells allowed to edit again. This really helped unlike many other posts. HI There is a problem with this, once you protect the cells, it will protect the whole sheet as well.
Can we lock cells in a way that you would be able to use all other menus and their options for unlocked cells? Really thanks for your detailed explanation which help me to understand the concept.
Tried several times, the first time it works, and the selected cells are locked, not allowed to edit. I got a same queries that Dinesh state. Thanks for the clear explanation. Is it possible to do this over multiple cell ranges in a spreadsheet? For example, I would like to protect a certain column from all one password and then protect other columns from all but one user that user would have a second password.
Thanks again. I want to lock indivisual column and row. Thank you!!!!!!!!! It helped me a lot. Now I am able to work on excel sheet in the safe mode. Shelford S. Thank you so much for the nice assistance. Thanks for the information. May need to clarify 6 as I found it better if I unchecked one additional box.
Brilliant tutorial!! Thank you very much. After looking at several tutorials on this subject, all of which were very confusing, I found this one. I followed the tutorial step by step and it works great.
Thank you for making it so easy for this old timer that is high tech deficient. It is a nice and crispy description. I like it. After going through this process of locking specific cells and protecting the sheet with a password, height and length of the rows and columns respectively of the sheet can't be changed. Any way out? Need help urgently. Thousand thanks for this easy to follow guide in locking the specific cells in Microsoft Excel. It really works.. I was searching for the same for so many days.
Thank u. It's great help in very easy steps without confusing the user. I understand how to protect a worksheet, and I know how to "unlock" certain cells in a worksheet, so that users of the worksheet can enter information into these unlocked cells. I have a worksheet where all I want the users to be able to do in certain cells is to be able to 'put in or insert' numbers. I don't want the users of this worksheet to be able to change the font, font color, font size, borders, etc.
In other words, I want to create a worksheet where only numbers can be entered into certain cells, but no changes whatsoever can be made to the cell formatting of these cells.
Thanks for your assistance. It lets you lock cells in Excel formulas to keep them constant. It can precede the column reference, the row reference, or both. The other two formats are used much less frequently.
In the above worksheet, our task is to write a formula that will calculate the discount column given a discount rate of 9. The above formula analysis has explained what the formula does exactly.
It uses the 9.
