Passwords and Naming Files in Excel

Security of data is usually of critical importance to most organisations. You often want that the data should only be read but not edited without your permission or should be accessible to only a few people. Passwords are used to do that. 

In this segment, you'll learn how to lock Excel sheets so that users can only perform only certain allowed tasks. Also, you'll learn to name files - another seemingly easy but an often incorrectly performed task.

In the last short lecture, you'll learn to name files appropriately. You may have been irritated searching for files on your system which are not often used. Also, you may experienced the feeling 'I have no clue what this file contains' while staring at the icons and names of a number of files. These silly issues occur often because we don't put enough thought behind naming files.

Naming files becomes especially important at a larger scale when your file is likely to get lost among a number of similar looking ones. Also, we try to do a lot of stuff to reduce the time spent by the reader to understand a report or data. There is no point doing that if a person takes an hour just to find a file. 

With this, you have reached the end of the first session. In the next session, you will learn to create data visualisations and use pivot tables, formulae and a number of other incredibly useful tools.
