Workbook Security In Excel

ITech Analytic Solutions

i. Workbook Security:

We can apply security to the workbook by the concept of protection available in the Review Tab of ribbon. MS Excel's protection-related features fall into three categories.

  • Worksheet protection: Protecting a worksheet from being modified, or restricting the modifications to certain users.

  • Workbook protection: Protecting a workbook from having sheets inserted or deleted, and also requiring the use of password to open the workbook.

ii. Protect Worksheet:

You may want to protect a worksheet for a variety of reasons. One reason is to prevent yourself or others from accidentally deleting the formulas or other critical data. A common scenario is to protect a worksheet, so that the data can be changed, but the formulas can’t be changed.

To protect a worksheet, choose Review » Changes group » Protect Sheet. Excel displays the Protect Sheet dialog box. Note that providing a password is optional. If you enter a password, that password will be required to unprotect the worksheet. You can select various options in which the sheet should be protected. Suppose we checked Format Cells option then Excel will not allow to format cells.

iii. Protecting a Workbook:

Excel provides three ways to protect a workbook.

  • Requires a password to open the workbook.

  • Prevents the users from adding sheets, deleting sheets, hiding sheets, and unhiding sheets.

  • Prevents users from changing the size or position of windows.

iv. Requiring a Password to Open a Workbook:

Excel lets you save a workbook with a password. After doing so, whoever tries to open the workbook, must enter the password. To add a password to a workbook, follow these steps.

  • Choose File » Info » Protect Workbook » Encrypt With Password. Excel displays the Encrypt Document dialog box.

  • Type a password and click OK.

  • Type the password again and click OK.

  • Save the workbook.

v. Protecting Workbook’s Structure and Windows:

To prevent others (or yourself) from performing certain actions in a workbook, you can protect the workbook’s structure and windows. When a workbook’s structure and windows are protected, the user may not Add a sheet, Delete a sheet, Hide a sheet, unhide a sheet, etc., and may not be allowed to change the size or position of a workbook’s windows respectively.

To protect a worksheet’s structure and windows, follow the below mentioned steps:

  • Choose Review » Changes group » Protect Workbook to display the Protect Workbook dialog box.

  • In the Protect Workbook dialog box, select the Structure check box and Windows check box.

  • (Optional) Enter a password.

  • Click OK.
