You can do so by selecting the locked cells off and only leaving hidden option enabled. this way you will be able to edit ur cells and the formulas won't be visible also..!!

Open the work book and use shortcut ALT+F11, click one sheet and go to the properties, it will reflects in the top of the menu(Short cut F4), in the properties, the last colomn will be the Visible, beside the visible select the dropdown as 2(very protect) and save. the work sheet will be hidden from the work book.

Anil,
The premise of the attributes "locked" & "Hidden" are only effective if the worksheet is protected. You can have individual attributes or both checked on & off.

With the "hidden" checked and "locked" unchecked, you can protect the worksheet which results in the formula being hidden but if you wish you can edit it, though you cant see what you're editing.

The "protect sheet" icon is located on the "Review" tab in Office 2007.

This is fine but want to know if at all there is any option where we can hide the formula and the sheet can be used without protecting it. Here in this case the sheet is protected and no one can use it unless it is unprotected.

Please advise......!

Hi,

I tried this option and it is not working in Excel 2007.
The formula is still visible even after using this option "Select the Hidden and Locked check boxes on the Protection tab.".
