securing excel file cells in ReportBuilder

Is it possible to create excel documents where certain cells are secured in ReportBuilder.
The file has to be already secured when it is created because it will be used by users.

If this is is not possible in ReportBuilder, is there a work around where this can be achieved automatically when the excel file is created?

SSRS don't support such Excel settings, it's just a plain data export with cell formatting, but without any security properties.

Is there a work around to achieve it anyway?

Hi @PaulKalsbeek-0320,

As Olaf said that SSRS don't support such Excel settings, so we couldn't lock the cells when exporting to excel.

You may refer this for help which is using VBA code to protect the cells.

Hope it could bring you some idea.

Regards,
Zoe
