Protection of cell

if you have a set figure that you dont want changed by other users, how do you protect the cell so that only you can change it

RE: Protection of cell

Hello Kerry,

Thank you for your question regarding protection.

You can lock all cells by choosing the Protect Sheet option in the review ribbon. Should you wish to only lock certain cells on the sheet, prior to turning on Protect Sheet you must unlock the ones you do not want protected.
Select the cells to unlock, right click, select the protection tab in the format cells dialog box, ok.
Turn on Protect Sheet.

I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.

If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another Microsoft Office question?

Have a great day.
Regards,

Mark

Excel tip:

Repeating headings on spreadsheets that print on more than one page

By default when you print a spreadsheet out and it prints on more than one page, the headings at the top and the side of the spreadsheet don't appear on all the pages following page 1.

To get Excel to repeat headings on all pages when printing, go to File - Page Setup - Sheet, then select the rows to repeat at the top of pages, and the columns to repeat at the side of pages by clicking on the red arrows at the right side of the two boxes under the 'Print titles' area. Then click OK.

If you view your spreadsheet in Print Preview, you should see the headings being repeated on each page.
