hi friends please what i require is that to password a sheet in such a way that you most provide a password before you view it contents. i do not mean to protect a sheet in such a way that no body can edit it content.
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
Hi,
I don't know which version of excel you're using but in the 2013 version that's fairly simple. If you go on File and then within the Info section you see an icon that says 'protect workbook'. Click that and then choose 'encrypt with password'. Then select the password you want.

Hope this helps.

You can hide the sheet then protect the workbook. To view the sheet you would unprotect the workbook then unhide the sheet.
