MS. Excel: How do you protect some parts of an excel file that might contain sensitive figures?

I want to share an Excel file with a group of people, but I only want a certain group of people to be able to view some sheets or certain parts of some sheets. How do I manage this?Thanks,

You can hide sheets behind weak password protection. Be advised that this will NOT be a secure process. You can export the data out.The best practice is to NOT include any sensitive figures. They will not be safe.

While it may be more work for you initially...the best way is to copy only those parts of the sheets you want shared into a new worksheet that does not contain the sensitive data.
