Sharing a single tab only

Kimberly_Lanier 

In Excel, you can control access to specific tabs by protecting sheets with a password and sharing the workbook. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Protect Individual Sheets:
• Right-click on the sheet tab you want to protect.
• Select "Protect Sheet."
• Set a password if you wish (optional), and choose the options you want to allow or restrict for the protected sheet.
• Click "OK."
2. Share the Workbook:
• Go to the "Review" tab in the Excel ribbon.
• Click on "Share Workbook" in the "Changes" group.
• In the "Editing" tab of the "Share Workbook" dialog box, check the "Allow changes by more than one user at the same time" option.
• Go to the "Advanced" tab and choose the options that suit your needs.
• Click "OK."
3. Distribute the Workbook:
• Save the workbook to a shared location, such as a network drive, OneDrive, or SharePoint.
• Share the link or grant access to the specific individuals who need access to the workbook.

Now, each individual with access to the workbook will be able to view and edit their specific sheet, and the changes will be tracked separately for each sheet.

Please note that Excel's built-in sheet protection is not the most secure method, and if someone knows the password, they can unprotect the sheet. For a more robust solution, consider using a dedicated collaboration platform like SharePoint or Teams, or explore Excel's advanced sharing features.

Remember to always keep a backup of your workbook before applying changes like protection or sharing to avoid accidental data loss.
