    multiple security on spreadsheet

    Good morning,
    I'm stumped and so out of my realm here but looked at like I should be able to figure this out.... I appreciate any help/direction that you can give me.

    I have been asked to take a report that is done weekly and make it secure. NOt with just 1 password but to be able to give multiple passwords so that no one can see what does not pertain to them. I have a file that maintains hours. I need to set up a password for each of our locations and password on that location, then report would only show that locations information.

    This is what I envision but I could be directed in another direction:

    Person A clicks to open the spreadsheet - sample attached
    they are prompted to enter the location - (see location listing on attachment)
    they are then prompted for a password for that location
    spreadsheet would open and only show that location for each tab

    Is this even possible? I really thank you in advance for your expert knowledge.
    Michelle

    Not reliably. Excel security is beyond rubbish, anything you put in place can be easily bypassed.

    You'd be better off creating separate workbooks.

    Thank you. I was really hoping that would not be your answer...80 some different workbooks. Here's a thought... I can limit who has access to it so what about the prompt for what svc and only that svc information is showing. For instance a pop up for which svc - enter CLT and only the CLT information shows on each tab. All other rows deleted.

    Should I close this one and open a differnt post.

    Thanks

    If the user disables macros, unfortunately they'd be able to see everything
