How do you password protect a work sheet?

RE: Excel training

Hi Jean

To protect the contents of an Excel worksheet you do the following:

1. In the Tools menu, Select Protect
2. Click Protect Sheet

A dialog box appears allowing you to enter a password (although this is optional)

3. Enter the password and click OK

4. A new dialog box will ask you to Confirm the password.
5. Re-enter the password and clickOK.

NB. This will protect the contents of that entire worksheet. This is because Excel protects worksheet cells that are "Locked"- and all Excel worksheet cells come locked as a default.

Hope this helps

Carlos

Excel tip:

Converting an American date format to European using Formula

Excel depending on your local setting will only pick up date values of the dd mmm yyyy oders as date type. If you import data from various sources including America their date order is different with data value in mmm dd yyyy, excel can only treat it as text indicated by left aligning it. To overcome this you have to do the the following.

1. Extract the date components mmm dd yyyy, by using the the Text functions LEFT, MID or RIGHT

2. Reorder dd mmm component and concatenate using "&" in the right order this will create a text string with the date in the right order it then needss to be converted to a value so excel can recognise it.

3. To convert to value encase in TEXT function.

4. Format to desired date format.
