If you want to allow viewing permission only (not editing) to other users, the simplest approach is to lock the entire sheet.įirst, open the spreadsheet that includes the formula cells you need to lock. The “Protected sheets and ranges” tool locks a cell or range of cells from all editing, plus it has other custom options. Regardless, Google Sheets doesn’t give you quite as many locking configuration options as Excel, but it features more locking formulas, which is more than sufficient in most cases. Thus, you don’t need to enter a password to unlock cell protection to edit your own spreadsheets. Google Sheets formula protection does not require a password.
