Default how to hide something with excel


Good afternoon

'Fraid not. And if you want to hide something best not use Excel. I
is SO easy to unhide an xlveryhidden sheet using VBA, and most exper
users could remove the VBA password in less time than it took you t
apply it. You can set the hidden flag (ctrl + 1, protection) that wil
take effect when sheet protection is invoked, but that protection to
could be removed in under a minute - the password is irrelevant.

Any information contained in a spreadsheet can be laid bare withi
seconds, no matter how deeply it is buried. In fact this guy has lai
down a challenge for any one to send him a workbook containin
information that he can't access.
