I suggest that you use their price instead of your cost since ANY protection
you put on an excel ss can be overcome.

I make a product list for my customers based on pricing I (like any
business)
receive from my vendors. In order to calculate the price I charge my
customers I first need to create a column for prices I pay my vendors and
then my customer prices are based on formulas and markups using the Vendor
price column figures.

I know I can hide this column - but how do I hide but more importantly
protect this column so when I email my customers this product list, they
are
unable to open this hiden column to see what I pay for my product? Again,
I
am not trying to find out how to simply hide a column as I already know
how
to do this.

Thanks!
