    How to make some columns invisible only in read mode

    Hello,

    I have two columns in my sheet that I want to see as administrator but I want to keep them invisible (not hidden) for everyone that use it in read mode. Is it even possible?

    Kind regards,
    Daniel

    You can make worksheets (tabs) invisible to users, but if the user can see a sheet, they're going to see that the column headers jump from A to D, for example. You can hide the columns, and make the users unable to unhide them, but you can't make it look like those columns don't exist.

    you can change font/background for the same + locked/hidden in Protection properties for these columns + data validation cheat to display nothing + password protection on sheet, but it is still does not matter, if user wants to get value from these cells he can get it.
