    Protect Execl data for different users.

    Hello,
    Is it possible to protect different areas in an Excel sheet for different
    users based on some password?

    ie: I want to setup an Excel file over a network location and define some
    specific rows and columns values to be updated only by specific users. For
    example, first tow rows and columns can only be updated by User1 and not by
    others and so on. So, when they try to update their respective sections they
    should be asked for some sort of password and then only be allowed to update
    their assigned cell's information.

    Is it possible to achieve something like this?

    Thank You,
    Saurabh Khanna.

    Partial protection

    Given that it is possible to hide columns or rows with a password, it would be possible to write a macro that would unhide different rows and columns with different passwords.
    As it is commonly known however, this protection can easily be unlocked.
