Worksheet protection in Excel

Like the Workbook protection, worksheet too can be protected to deny any changes to the whole or some part of the sheet.

For example, if a company wants an excel sheet to be filled by employees, without modifying the existing data, then the sheet and the cells can be protected.

In this way, the user will be able to modify only certain section of the worksheet.

It is to be noted that, Worksheet level protection is not intended as a security feature.
