Hiding the formula by protecting the Excel sheet:


If you want to hide your formulas temporarily and use them again at your wish. Then you should
try hiding formulas by protecting the worksheet. In this method we will first hide the cell
formulas and then lock the complete excel sheet. Follow below steps to do this:

Firstly select all the cells for which you have applied the formula.

After this, right click and select the option Format Cells.

Next, in the Format Cells window navigate to the protection tab.

In protection tab, check the Hidden checkbox and click OK.

One thing that I want to make clear is that just checking the hidden checkbox cant do
anything until you have protected the excel sheet.

To protect the excel sheet navigate to the Review tab, select the option Protect Sheet.

After this the system will ask you to enter your password, after entering the password
click OK.
