Locking files and slicer

How can I lock files so people cannot change the content but select different info using the slicers?

RE: locking files and slicer

Hi Emma

Is this using Tables or PivotTables and Charts?

You can still use the Review > Protect Sheet and select both Edit Objects and PivotTable / Chart as permissions.

This should allow you to lock the contents of the cells but give them access to filter by Slicer and Timeline.

Have a great day further.

Kind regards
Wendy

Excel tip:

Autofit column width – Excel (all versions)

a. Highlight the column or columns you wish to alter the width of. You do this by clicking on the grey button at the top of the column showing the column letter. Click and drag on these letters to select more than one column.
b. Double click the dividing line between the columns. This dividing line is the break between the columns on the column headers (grey buttons showing the column letter at the top of each column). When you hover your mouse over one of these dividing lines the point will change and show an arrow pulling a line in two directions. When you have this mouse pointer you should double click to get Excel to automatically set the column width to fit the contents of the column (autofit)
