Can I set different passwords for different sheets

Unfortunately, what you want to do is not possible. You cannot protect individual sheets on your workbook from getting viewed by unauthorized users. When you open a Microsoft Office Excel workbook that contains several worksheets for different people or customers, all sheets are visible and accessible.

You can protect the file with a password to prevent unauthorized users from viewing the contents or opening the file but this doesn’t protect individual sheets. All are visible once the file is opened. There are options to protect individual sheets from accidental modifications but there is no option to prevent the sheet from getting viewed.

Anyway, to protect the workbook with a password, start Microsoft Office Excel then open your file. Now, once the file is opened, click the Office button or “File” then select “Saves As” or press F12 to bring up the Save As dialog. In the Save As dialog, click “Tools” on the bottom left corner then select “General Options”. Enter the password for open and modify.

You can use the same password for both fields but you can also set a different password for the other one. Click “OK” then save the file to apply the new password. After this, you will be prompted with a password every time you open the file.
