Hello

I have the same problem, did Microsoft come up with a fix for this as it is stopping me sharing a database that I have created.

Any help would be great.

  Hi
  
  I just unprotected some cells in Desktop, protected the sheet, published to OneDrive, opened it online - protection is working. Opened in Excel desktop, protection is working.
  
  Are you getting a different result?

    The original question is from 2017. Excel online has come a long way since then.
    
    What was not possible then may be possible now.
