Excel Password Protection

Fellas,

i am fairly new to excel and was wondering if there is any way to password protect individual tabs in a worksheet?

basically we want to display lots of data about people that is private and shuold only be viewed by that specific person.
There is 2 ways i thought we could do this:
Have each persons data in a seperate tab, and password protect the tab,giving each person a password for their tab so only that person can read there data in that tab
or
somehow set usernames and passwords so when a certain person logs in it only displays there data?

any thoughts or ideas would appreciated

Thanks

Just set a different password for the sheets!, when protecting sheets you can have a different password for each sheet.

thanks for the reply but how would i go do that?

as im thinking protecting the sheet using a password would not hide the data?

Thanks

1st Hide the date or sheet and after the set the password
