I have an excel file.

Is there a way to add a password to it?

Basically anyone can view the file but if they want to make any changes to the file they have the enter the password.

Thanks

Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney
Try

Also

Tools > Protection > Protect Sheet
