AutoFilter And Sort Not Working On Protected Sheet
Dec 20, 2012
When I either manually check the box for allowing sorting and autofiltering, or I do it through vba with:
Code:
With Sheets("Inventory")
.Protect Password:="###", AllowSorting:=True, AllowFiltering:=True, AllowUserInterface:=True
.EnableAutoFilter = True
End With
I still am unable to use the icons. The icons are clickable to filter or sort, but every time they say that the cells I am selecting are protected. I want them to be protected from editing the data, but want to allow them to be sorted or filtered.

If I protect a sheet but tick the boxes to allow sorting and autofilter I still get an erro when I try to use the sort buttons on the autofilter.
It allows me to use the filters but as soon as I sort I get told to unprotect the cells im trying to sort.
Is there a way around this where I can keep formulas from being touched but allow sorting of data through autofilter?

I've locked certain columns on my worksheet so that users cannot overtype target dates etc. I've password protected the worksheet.
The password protection means that for some reason the users can't use the autofilters that are on the header row.
Can someone help me solve this problem; I still need the locked cells and password protection on the sheet but the success of the sheet depends on users being able to filter for specific rows using the autofilter....

I have autofilter enabled on the header row across the top of my worksheet. Is there a quick line of VBA I can use to toggle EACH one to (ALL). This would act as a "Reset" in my spreadsheet and display all content. I had a solution that worked, until I made the workbook shared / password protected.

I have a protected worksheet with some macros running on it, and I have been requested to make the workbook shared. Trying to implement this, I keep getting the standard "1004 You cannot use this command on a protected sheet" error when applying an autofilter.
Here is what is making this problem a little tricky:
- As the workbook is shared, I cannot do Protect UserInterfaceOnly because you can't change the protection settings on a shared workbook without unsharing it. Needless to say, I cannot unshare the workbook.
- When I protect the sheet, I do allow the user to use autofilter. Consequently, Sheet.Protection.AllowFiltering and Sheet.EnableAutofilter both are on. Still, I keep getting the error.
The failing line of code is:
shData. Range("_filterDataBase").AutoFilter lngField, strArg
where shData is the codename of the sheet, lngField is the number of the field and strArg is the filtering criteria.
My guess is, that the error comes from the fact that (for some silly reason) in VBA the .AutoFilter method is used to create a new filter, not only to use an existing one. The members of Sheet.AutoFilter.Filters collection are read-only, and cannot be used to modify the existing filter.

I have certain cells which I want the formulas hidden to the end user and protected so they can't update them.
I've locked and hidden these cells and protected the sheet however my Macro's fail to work thereafter.
Protect the sheet for the user interface only. This has to be done in VBA:
- Activate the sheet.
- Activate the Visual Basic Editor (Alt+F11).
- Activate the Immediate window (Ctrl+G).
- Type
ActiveSheet.Unprotect
- Press Enter.
- Type
ActiveSheet.Protect UserInterfaceOnly:=True
- Press Enter.
The sheet is now protected for the end user, but VBA code can freely manipulate it.This works well however when I go to another page and do the same it stops working on the original sheet.I would like to know if there is an easy way to:
protect/unprotect all sheets in one go and have the macros still work?
When I protect pages individually I want the following to be allowed:
Select unlocked/locked cells
Format
Sort
Use autofilter
use pivottable
I will first save which cells are un/locked & hidden.

I have a data set that is defined as a table (Ctrl + T). There are formulas so I locked those cells and Protected the sheet. If I am at the bottom right cell, and press Tab to add a new row, I get an error message: "Cannot use this table functionality on a protected sheet"
I really need to protect the cells with formulas so that the are not accidentally deleted. But I also want to retain the Table format.
Is there a way around this without using VBA?

Everything works fine except when I password protect the sheet. Then when the autofilter is used an error message is triggered and the error relates to the first range selected in the combobox code. However, the combobox itself works fine on the protected sheet as I included code to unprotect the sheet at the beginning of the code run by the combobox and reprotect it at the end.
Any advice suggestions gratefully received.

I wish I could have been more specific with my Title. This is what I am encountering. I used the McGimpsey code for generating a unique sequential number every time a workbook opens. I tailored the code to fit my needs and stuck it into my invoice sheet. For the longest time I was unable to make it work until I moved the code from a template to a standard workbook. Then I was able to make it work as long as the sheet was unprotected. I realized that to get the code to work I had to then unprotect the cells that the code was writing to. Now that I've done that I am getting errors in the code that weren't there before, rendering the macro useless. The code I am using is:

Is it possible to keep the sort icon available on a worksheet which is protected? I have issued a spreadsheet to colleagues which contains formulas so I have protected it, but I have now been informed that they need to be able to sort the data according to a ref number.

I have a table and the first column headed "Arrival Date" contains dates. I then have some buttons on a form which enable me to quickly filter the table to show "Arrived Today", "Arrived Yesterday" and "Arrived last 3 days". The today and yesterday macros work fine, for example, the following code is used to filter for "Arrived Yesterday"
ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Table1").Range.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:=Format(Now() - 1, "dd/mm/yyyy")
The problem is the filter does not work for "Arrvied last 3 days", the code for which is as follows:
ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Table1").Range.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:=">=" & Format(Now() - 3, "dd/mm/yyyy")
When I apply his macro it displays no records and yet if I manually go into the filter everything appears to be OK. If I then use the date picker within the filter to essentially re-select the date that the macro has already specified then the filter works.

Is there any way to allow autofiltering and sorting even with locked cells within the range to be sorted? I've conditionally locked some cells based on user input, and at the end of my vb code I have allowsorting and allowfiltering. But I want to sort cells that are locked even after that. Does anyone know if that's even possible with VB?

I have a column containing 365 entries, one for each day of the year. This I intend to send out to Army bands, to have them fill in their forecast of engagements. I do not want them to be able to amend the original diary, but to scroll to the bottom of the list, add a new entry with the applicable date and then be able to 'sort' back to chronological order. This would then allow a separate entry for every engagement to allow me to interrogate the spreadsheet. As I have protected the sheet, the 'sort' facility does not function even though when protecting I ticked the box to allow users to 'sort'.

I got a problem using AutoFilter with VBA in Excel.
It works well for regular filters, but filtering the date column does not work as intended. The column is formatted as date, I can filter it manually and absurdly, if I run my code, it filters nothing but when I check the filter and then only click ok (no change being applied to the filter criteria), it starts filtering correctly.
Here is my code:
Code:
ws.ListObjects(SheetName).Range.AutoFilter Field:=3, Criteria1 _
:=">" & CDate([datecell]), Operator:=xlAnd, Criteria2:= _
"
