Thank you, FAJAR, for your wonderful question.

Here is the explanation to your question.

It is still possible for someone to obtain the cell value from another workbook without opening it using Excel VBA even if the source file is password- or other security-protected.

However, depending on the situation, accessing a protected file in this manner might be regarded as unethical or unlawful. It’s crucial to respect the security precautions taken by the file’s owner and to only access the data through legitimate, approved methods. Additionally, it is important to keep in mind that Excel offers a variety of protection options, and the efficacy of the protection depends on the particular technique used. While some security measures can be easily bypassed with a basic understanding of VBA, others are more robust and call for sophisticated techniques.

Because of this, it’s crucial to carefully examine the degree of protection needed for your unique use case and implement the proper security measures in accordance.

I hope this may solve your issue.?
