limited access spreadsheet
 
Hi

The shreadsheet is protected by "password to modify" by one person only
Is it possible to permit another user to amend the colour of the cells only
and not to alter any data in the existing sheet?

regards

Hi,

Unprotect the sheet select the cells you want others to edit right click
on themCell formattingProtection and then uncheck the locked check box.
Protect the sheet and save now the other person can then edit the data in the
unlocked cells.

limited access spreadsheet - allow format change only
 
lock the cells (format protection Locked).
Then when you protect the sheet select allow users to:
"select locked cells" and "format cells"

Locking prevents data edit, protection prevents selection (and/or allows
limited capability in selected cells)
