Hi,

I would like to know how to hide the formula & allow to users to copy the
cell & get only the result (just like what past special does).

I have tried €œProtect Sheet€�, when I protect the sheet a user can see the
result (of the formula) but can't copy it because it is protected
I didnt find anything (or I missed) in the promotions list that allows
users to copy or copy the result.
When I remove the protection the user will have access on the formula (which
I dont want to).

In short, I want the user to see the result of the formula & have the
promotion to copy the result, only the result without the formula so he can
work with if he needs.

I got an Email with Excel sheet which calculates your age & have some other
interesting functions, I dont have the promotion to see the sheets formulas
still I can copy the result without any access to the formula. So it is
possible, but how?

I appreciate your support.

While protecting your worksheet
ToolsProtection Protect Sheet (OR) After pressing press Alt+T+P+P
You will get a protect sheet dialog box in that Under the heading €œAllow all
Users of this Worksheet to:€� CHECK the €œSelect Locked Cells€� and €œSelect
Unlocked cells€� and UNCHECK all the remaining check boxes and give your
desired password twice and give ok.. Now the users can able to see the cell
values and they can able to copy the cell values only.

Just select the cells for which you want to protect and do right
clickFormat CellsProtectionTick Both Locked & Hidden Check boxes and
give ok. By clicking locked will make the cell not accessible and by giving
Hidden the Formulas which you have used cannot be viewed.

Unlock all the cells which ever you want the people to have access as
mentioned below:

To unlock the cells Select the Columns Or Cells that needs to have the
Editing option and do right clickFormat CellsProtectionUncheck Both the
Locked & Hidden Check
boxes and give ok.

Now Protect the worksheet with a password

ToolsProtection Click Protect Sheet OR press Alt+T+P+P and Provide your
desired password Twice and give ok.

Keep in mind that now the worksheet is getting protected and the locked
cells cannot be accessed by the users unless the worksheet is Unprotected.
To unprotect the worksheet place the cursor in Protected worksheet and select
ToolsProtectionUnprotect sheet with your password and give ok. Or
Alt+T+P+P and enter your password and give ok.
