Good Day All,

I'm working with a sub that will protect the sheet with a password:

VBA Code:
Sub ProtectSheets()

Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim pwd As String

pwd = "password" 'Put your password here
For Each ws In Worksheets
    ws.Protect Password:=pwd
Next ws

End Sub

My question is, how do I write this specifically for a sheet and not the entire workbook?

For example, how would I apply this only to Worksheets(2)?

Please let me know.

Thank you!

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.

if you want to protect separate sheet, just assign protect to that sheet not for each sheet in workbook:
VBA Code:
Sub ProtectSheets()

Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim pwd As String

pwd = "password" 'Put your password here
set ws=sheets("your worksheet")
ws.Protect Password:=pwd
End Sub
