Excel Facts

Select a hidden cell
Somehide hide payroll data in column G? Press F5. Type G1. Enter. Look in formula bar while you arrow down through G.
Format>Cells>Protection, check or uncheck "Locked" as desired.

All the cells are "Locked" by default so that when the worksheet is protected, they cannot be edited. Select the cells you want to leave unlocked and then uncheck the "Locked" option.
