There is a number of ways to password protect your Excel file – you can protect part of it or restrict what people can do with the data e.g. they can view it but not change it. And I will cover that in another blog post later…but here’s how you password protect your file completely
Choose:
- File – Save As
- To the left of the Save button (bottom right hand side of screen), notice that it says Tools
- Click on the triangle
- Choose General Options
- Then enter your password to open and/or modify.
- See the video below to see how it’s done.
