Hi there.

The sender has probably locked the worksheet or the whole workbook. Click on the Review tab and look for an 'Unprotect Sheet' and/or 'Unprotect Workbook' button. Click that to unlock the sheet, BUT if the sender has set a password, you will need that as well. You need both buttons saying 'Protect'.

Ask whoever sent it to you for the password.
