Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
Only by buying special software or using someone who can supply this service. Do a web search to find - there are lots.

Good afternoon Helmekki

The link that Colin gave is only of use for removing workbook and worksheet protection which is really easy to crack - the file password is a bit more robust, though there are some links on this page for commercial software.

Before you pay for this software / service try this:

http://www.download.com/Free-Word-Excel-Password-Wizard/3640-2092_4-10249516.html

It does have it's limitations, but it's free and I have had some success with it.
