How do you hide AND protect an excel sheet

[rtruesdale]

I have two sheets i want to not only hide but require a password to view. how is this done?

Well... you can't exactly do that through the standard user interface

You could do this though:

• Hide all the rows except row 1
• Hide all the columns except A
• Protect the worksheet

This would force someone to unprotect it before they could unhide the rows and columns.

To request a password to unhide and view a worksheet all in one go, you'd need to resort to VBA code. (We can help you with this, and it's built into Excel.)
