Excel forms are often used to organize data in our work. Most of the time, we have to protect the integrity of the data in the forms and prevent others from editing and modifying. In this case, we can set read-only password protection for the forms so that others can only view and cannot modify them. This article will teach you how to set password protection for Excel tables in batches, no matter how many files can be easily done with one click!

What other ways can
1. Set up worksheet protection
we can set protection for individual worksheets in Excel files to prevent unauthorized editing. Open the Excel table, switch to the worksheet to be protected, select Review → Protect Worksheet, enter the password you want to set and confirm. In this way, the protection setting of the worksheet has been successfully completed. If you want to edit the cell, a prompt window will pop up: the cell is located in the protected worksheet. You must enter the password first, cancel the worksheet protection and then make changes.
2. Convert Excel tables into pictures
if we want to share the data in the table with others, but we want to prevent others from modifying the data, it is a good way to turn it into a picture. Others cannot modify the text in the picture, and the picture is smaller and more convenient to transmit, and we can better protect the integrity of the source file.
3. Convert Excel Form to PDF
if we have completed the collation and summary of the data and do not need to modify the contents, we can convert the Excel form into a PDF file. PDF files are not easy to modify, high security, and more suitable for archive management.
