Securing Workbook in MS Excel

How to Securely Password Protect an Excel workbook

Now in this video we will see that how we can secure our workbook by a password protection. This means that when we are working on any workbook with many people we want only few people to be able to edit things inside it.

When we are working on our workbook and then when we want to save it we go to 'save as' option, where we will see 'Tools' option located on the right bottom side of the 'save as' window. When we go to the tools option we can see general option, and when we open it we will see that we are asked two passwords, one for opening file and another for modifying in that file.

So according to our requirement we will provide password and save our Excel workbook.

Now when anyone else will try to open our work book, it will ask for password.
