Worksheet Protection

[Andy Wallace]

Hello folks,

I have a worksheet that needs to be shared with other members of staff. The spreadsheet has been set up to have edit ranges that allow myself to edit the full spreadsheet and all other users to edit only portions of the sheet. The sheet is protected and shared to the other users. This works fine until I need to delete a line from the spreadsheet, which means I need to unshare and unprotect before editing. Deleting lines is a regular occurrence. Is there anyway that I can set myself up as a super-user which gives me full editing rights to the spreadsheet without the need to continually unshare and unprotect?

cheers Andy

Not that I'm aware of. Shared workbooks have lots of drawbacks & are usually best avoided.

Thanks for the feedback. I thought this would be the case. Is there any other way to allow folks to edit the same worksheet simultaneously without sharing?
