    There is no built functions in excel to restrict the information you show.

    You could use access security to restrict who can see the entire spreadsheet.

    Or, you could write a set of macros that populates the data when the file is opened, based on the user information. That would not be trivial.

    Are you working on a server where users have their own log ins? If so you can share the workbook with selected users and also protect against unauthorised opening or editing by others.
