    Password protect hidden columns in a worksheet

    I want to hide ten columns on a worksheet. My employees will fill out the cells in the columns that are not hidden, and I will fill out the information in the columns that are hidden. How do I password protect the hidden columns in the worksheet, so that my employees cannot see the information.

    Hi Plar1953 and welcome to the forum,

    The real answer is you shouldn't put data on a sheet if it is really important that they can't see it.
    One test is worth a thousand opinions.
