INTRODUCTION
• Before we jump into the how to’s of locking cells in Excel, it’s important to
understand why you’d want to lock cells in Excel.
• Locking cells is a feature in Excel that helps the owner to protect their data. By locking cells
and protecting the worksheet, unauthorized users are unable to move, change, delete or
manipulate the data in any way.
• Say you’re sharing an important document with your coworkers. You’ve entered all of the
correct Excel formulas and you’d like them to add data to specific cells, but want to ensure
the formulas aren’t manipulated without your knowing.
• That’s where locking cells comes in. You can unlock the cells that you want your colleagues
to have access to edit, all while making sure your formulas aren’t modified.
