You cannot prevent others from viewing the file while you're working on it, as long as they've read permissions to it. However they wouldn't be able to see the changes that are being done while you work on it, unless you check in the file. To achieve this, Open the document library settings. Go to 'versioning settings'. Scroll down and select the option 'require check out'.

What library on SharePoint allows you to store spreadsheets?
All SharePoint libraries have the ability to hold spreadsheets. Contact the person who administers the SharePoint portal you access, since every installation of SharePoint is unique. There can be hundreds or even thousands of different libraries stored on a SharePoint installation. Only someone from your organization will be able to tell you which library you can use to store your spreadsheets. With Excel 2007, click the Microsoft Office Button, click the arrow next to Publish, and then click Document Management Server. After that, you will need to follow the options available on your configuration of Excel. See related links for generic information about how to save a file in SharePoint.
