    Locking/hiding a worksheet that contains data feeding a dashboard

    Ok, so I have been searching around a little bit for the answer and unfortunately I haven't had any luck. The absolute best case scenario would be that I could hide and restrict use of all tabs and just use hyperlinks between pages (therefore hiding the one page that I really don't want anyone to see), a less good but serviceable option would be to restrict and/or hide a single sheet.

    I've tried just hiding the sheet and protecting the book, but it seems to mess up the dashboard.

    Thanks for the help!

    Matt

    Can you post a sample workbook?

    I would suggest hiding and locking the workbook so they cant hide. Then if that is not enough you can make it VERY hidden with VBA so that you don't have to even lock the workbook and it does not come up on the UNHIDE dialog.

    My thoughts went to Very Hidden. You can set on the sheet properties:

    You can also manipulate it with vba code, e.g.
