Hello,

I am working with an Excel 2016 Worksheet that contains a 3-D Pie Chart, and I need to Protect everything about the Chart.

I have highlighted all the Cells on the sheet, and "checked" the Locked and Hidden boxes on the Protection tab, and Protected the Sheet on the Review tab, but the Data Labels are still accessible for anyone to adjust the shape of, or the content of.

Is there any way to make all aspects of the Chart untouchable, as a regular PDF would do?

Thanks as usual in advance,

~ DWR
