    How to Hide and Protect Worksheets

    I've got a workbook in which one worksheet is the "Dashboard" and four other sheets run the calcs.

    There will only be one or two other people using he Dashboard.

    I know that Excel has a method of locking a sheet with a password, but is there also a way for me to hide these other sheets (or if not, just hide their formulas?).



    Thanks!

    right next to protect worksheet there is the protect workbook option that can help you to keep sheets with calculation hidden.

    You can also hide formulas by going to celformatting ( CTRL+1) and on the protection TAB) check Hidden for the cells you want to hide the formulas of and then protect the worksheet

    Re: How to Hide and Protect Worksheets

    You can hide a sheet by right clicking on the tab and choosing Hide Sheet. Anyone can easily reverse that. Or, you can click on Alt-F11 to go into the VBE and, in the sheet properties, set it to Very Hidden. It's less obvious how to reverse that
