I have a computer that is used by everyone at work. It has a rota on it that is password protected. The password was accidentally left off for a few days before someone noticed. Some changes were made in that time and I would like to find out exactly what time and what changes were made. Is there a way to do this? I only want to know the information for a few cells not the whole document.

Welcome to the Board!

Unfortunately, unless you have created some sort of logging program (via VBA code), I think you are out of luck.
You can only see who last updated the document and when, but not know what changes they made.
If you do daily backups, you may be able to see what it looked like each day, but I think that is about it.
