This video will show you how to lock cells in Excel using Python. The process is simple and the code is short, so you can make sure your spreadsheet is protected from accidental editing with just a few lines of code. We will look at how you can lock cells by their fill colour, font style, formula or cell value. This is really helpful if you have a lot of data and you want to protect it from being tampered with.
🚨 Please note: This method will only work on Windows, as we are going to use the pywin32 library.
