Using a mouse in Excel is the work equivalent of wearing a lanyard when you first get to college

If you are really serious about protecting salary information, I would not recommend using Excel, for the following reasons:
- It is easy to get the information from hidden sheets, as Excel formulas can access values from other sheets, even hidden ones.
- Unfortunately, password protection in Excel is not overly secure.
