What is the difference between

Excel workbook password and worksheet password in

1. The workbook is a whole, and the worksheet is a single table page. Setting a workbook password is mainly to prevent the structure of the entire workbook from being changed, such as moving, deleting, renaming, or adding worksheets inside. After the workbook is password protected, the entire structure is locked and none of the above operations can be performed.

2. Set a password for the worksheet to prohibit others from editing and modifying, mainly to prevent the data in the table from being changed. After the worksheet is set with password protection, all cells in the current table are not allowed to be edited. You will be prompted that the cell is located in the protected worksheet and you must enter a password to edit it.
