    Can you password protect hidden cells?

    I was wondering if it was possible to hide cells using protect sheet? I have a worksheet that contains confidential data and would like it so the cells appeared blank unless you had the password. I know you can hide rows and columns but I need everything on the sheet to be hidden.

    Is this possible?

    How about you hide the sheet - format -> sheet -> hide then protect the workbook.
    NB Excel's inbuilt security is quite weak so don't use it to protect anything worth £££
