    Restrict cell content view for different users

    Hello

    I have an Excel sheet with separate sections of data for each region on the same tab. Is there a way to hide the contents of the cells for of each section so that e.g. user for Region 1 can only see and edit (via password) Region 1 cells and so on. I looked at Allow Edit Ranges but couldn't see a solution.

    Thanks in advance

    Excel is not, and never has been a secure environment. Just because cells/ranges are "apparently" hidden, doesn't mean they can't be accessed.

    You probably need to think your approach.
