Hide Underlying Cell Formulas
 

Hi All

I have a workbook which I share with my customer. I want to hide all
underlying cell formulas in the workbook. Is there any way, macro etc.
that I can hide and unhide all the formulas as per my convenience. I do
not want to use copy paste special values. Any help will be greatly
appreciated.

Regards
Robben

Hide Underlying Cell Formulas
 
Robben,

You don't actually need to hide the formula editing window, choose
Format/Cells/Protection and check the "Hidden"
checkbox, then when you protect the sheet, formulas will be hidden.

Note, though you will need to enter a password for editing (Not necessary
for viewing) but it's not that secure, it doesn't take long to find a program
or macro on the internet to crack the password.

If you want something more secure then you will need to have a combination
of VBA and protected cells, but as with ALL copy protection it's not 100% and
if someone is determined enough they will still get in.
