We had chosen Column A named as Product Type as required. Let’s check whether the column is actually protected now.
Now selected Column is locked, and no one can change anything in it without disabling the column’s protection. Once clicked on OK, the system will ask you to re-enter the password again.Once we are done with selecting the options for protecting the sheet or column, click on OK as highlighted below.For example, I have checked selective locked cells and selected unlocked cells (which sometimes comes as default). And check (tick) the options available in a box as per requirement.Once we click on Protect Sheet, we will get a dialog box of Protect Sheet where we need to set a Password of any digit.For this purpose, first, select a cell or column which we need to protect, and then go to the Review tab and click on Protect Sheet.Below is the screenshot of available data for locking the required column. And data available after it will be accessible for changes. So, to avoid this, we are going to lock that Product Type column so that no one will change it. Where we have observed that the Product Type column many times got changed by multiple logins. We got sample sales data from some products.
