If you want to password-protect other files in Mac OS X, like photos, videos, and music, you can dump them in a folder and use the native Disk Utility feature to create an encrypted disk image of the folder. Make sure your Excel file is protected. If your Excel file truly is encrypted, double-clicking the Excel file will prompt you for a password before you can view the file's contents. If double-clicking the Excel file opens the Excel worksheet, your Excel file may be protected from editing instead. If so, you can use the previous method to unlock it.
