    Prevent Indexing of <a href>

    I need some help. I have an Excel spreadsheet on my site with a list of names; however, I need to prevent this sheet from being indexed by Google. I've tried using the meta tags:
    <head>
    <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX,NOFOLLOW">
    </head>
    However, I can type my name into Google and the speadsheet will still be returned in the results--not the page, just the spreadsheet. I don't wont either to be indexed.

    Any help would be greatly apprecaited!!

    Thanks in advance!

    You could try a robots.txt file. Keep in mind changes you make aren't necessarily instant, so it may take a few days for the Excel file to be removed.
