Answer: Unprotect sheet command - How do I do this?
 

Sure, I can help you with that! Here are the steps to unprotect a sheet in Microsoft Excel:

1. Open the Excel file that contains the protected sheet.
2. Click on the "Review" tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen.
3. Look for the "Changes" group in the ribbon, and click on the "Unprotect Sheet" button.
4. If the sheet is password-protected, you will be prompted to enter the password. Type in the password and click "OK".
5. The sheet should now be unprotected, and you should be able to edit the cells.

If you don't know the password, you may need to contact your friend who sent you the template and ask for the password. Alternatively, you can try using a , but keep in mind that this may not always work and could potentially harm your computer.

Hi,

if you are asking how do you unprotect a sheet:

1. Activate the sheet
2. Choose Review, Unprotect Sheet (in the Changes group)
3. Enter the password and click OK.
