You can hide the column then go to ToolsProtectionProtect Worksheet but
Excel's internal worksheet and workbook protection is very weak and passwords
easily cracked.

The general rule is........if you don't want someone to see data, do not include
that data in the file you send.

there is a piece of info in a column that has to be
