Is it possible within Alteryx to protect/unprotect specific cells in a sheet that Alteryx will be reading/writing to?

 

If yes, can someone post a sample workflow where alteryx reads from a password protected sheet, then writes to it and protects some of the cells it wrote to?

Hi @AkisM!

 

I'm linking some posts that might help with this issue: A quick tip for reading in password protected excel files and How to Read/Extract password protected Excel file using R Code in Alteryx Designer. The comment section of the first link also includes info on writing to a protected Excel file.
