    restrict certain users from viewing hidden data

    I have sensitive data in 2 columns (say G and H) which I have grouped so that I can hide and/or unhide. Can I restrict some users from unhiding either by password or any other method. Thanks

    you can select all the columns that can be edited then
    -format cell - untick the "lock cell option" -



    then you can protect sheet -untick the "select locked cell"
    I think people forget the word "THANK YOU!!!!" Do you still know it???

    There is a little star ( ADD REPUTATION ) below those person who helped you. Click it to say your "PRIVATE APPRECIATION TO THEIR EFFORT ON THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS "

    Regards,
    Vladimir
