Workbook protection

How can I protect a sheet from certain people so they don't delete any formulas they shouldn't? Eg: if many people need to add information on a document that I've created but they keep deleting or changing formulas where they shouldn't.

RE: Workbook protection

Hi Vera,

Thank you for the forum question.

Select all cells, where you want someone to do changes. Right click on your selection and click Format Cells. Click the Protection tab (the last one). Remove the tick from Locked. Click the Review tab and click Protect sheet.


Kind regards

Excel tip:

Deleting a range of cells using the autofill handle

Firstly, select the range of cells for which you would like to clear the contents. Then drag the autofill handle to the the top left corner of the selection whilst holding down the shift key. Your selected contents should then be deleted.
