Hiding cells with password
 

How do you hide cells(or columns/rows) that can only be accessed by a
password so when you enter a password, it will automatically unhide the
cells?
Thanks.

Hiding cells with password
 

you can't hide a cell or cells in a way you hide rows or columns.
however if you want to hide the contents of a particular cell or cells,
you can change the font colour to white or the same as your sheet
background is and then protect the sheet (Tools Protection) and under
Allow options keep all formating options unchecked. similarly if you
want to hide row or column as a whole, hide it and protect your sheet.

hope this will serve your purpose.

The only problem with that is that if anyone highlights the 'hidden'
cells they'll see what's in them. :(
