Restricting data entry (hiding information)

I decided to hide the rows that include the cover cost and the name of the authors. These values are linked to the drop down menus for the cover cost and name authors. By hiding these rows, no one can mess around with figures.

As you can see above, the rows are hidden. Just by looking at the row number you can easily tell if the rows are hidden.

I also decided to hide the row 13 and 14 which is the publisher profit and whether it is over 41K or not. By hiding these rows, other people cannot know how much profit the publisher is making if we were to present the figures to someone.

By unticking this box, this does not allow any blank boxes to be left for the sales figures. It would not be necessary to be apply this validation rule on any other spreadsheets because it is only the sales spreadsheet where the data is entered by someone.
