The SAP sheet protection allows you to protect the current worksheet against changes. Cell areas of the query can then, for example, no longer be deleted and no further queries can be inserted if the sheet protection is active.

The function SAP Sheet protection corresponds to the Excel function Sheet protection. If you activate the sheet protection from the Excel menu, then the majority of the functions in the Business Explorer are no longer executable. The SAP variant of the sheet protection, however, allows you to protect worksheets, without hindering the functionality of the Business Explorer (for example, the navigation functions). It is possible to turn off the SAP sheet protection with the Excel function Turn off sheet protection...

The SAP sheet protection protects the current worksheet against changes but does, however, allow the further use of the functions of the Business Explorer. If the sheet protection is active then the functions, that are called up with the symbol Tools, are no longer available. You activate the function with the entry of a password. The protection can only be lifted later with the entry of the correct password.
