How Do You Allow Hide/unhide Or Group/ungroup Features While Protected
Dec 20, 2007
We have a file that needs to be updated monthly by running macros, but the macros are being blocked by protection. I would like to put some code at the start of the macro that unlocks all sheets and then at the end locks them up again. Actually, all I really need is a macro to do just that unlock all sheets, and then another one that locks them back up again as we will need to lock and unlock at various times and it is annoying to have to do it by sheet ....

I have put the following code into my excel workbook to allow me to ungroup sections in a protected sheet. How can I change it to specify multiple worksheets?
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
With Worksheets("P5")
.EnableOutlining = True
.Protect Password:="rob", _
Contents:=True, UserInterfaceOnly:=True
End With
End Sub

I'm building a template for various users. I have protected the sheet with only certain cells available for input. The file is very large and there are some sections that can be group/ungrouped as the user desires.
however, once I protect the sheet, they can no longer click the - or + to expand and collapse. How can I enable group/ungroup on a protected sheet?

I used some code to allow grouping/ungrouping in a protected sheet. This works great! Enable Outline/Outlining on a Protected Excel Worksheet. However, when I share this protected workbook, all of a sudden grouping and ungrouping is not possible anymore. I get the same error as before, when the workbook was protected, not shared, and did not have the code mentioned above. Error: "You cannot use this command on a protected sheet. To unprotect..." Assumption: Is it possible that the Workbook Open Event is not being triggered if the workbook is a shared workbook?
Question: How can I group/ungroup columns in a shared (and protected) workbook?

Is there a way to hide certain cells using the protect sheet option? Checking the hidden box on the format cells dialogue doesn't seem to do it. I know you can do it by entering ;;; in the custom formating but then if you have to remember which ones you did that too. I would like to be able to hide and unhide a group of cells easily.

When my spreadsheet opens it automatically protects the sheets using the following
With Sheet1
.Protect Password:=SpreadsheetPassword, UserInterfaceOnly:=True
.EnableOutlining = True
End With
and I use the following to hide the column if the toggle button on my form is 'true'. The problem is it gives an error if the sheet is protected. it worksfine without protection.
If ToggleButton1.Value = True Then
Range("column_calories").EntireColumn.Hidden = True
Else
Range("column_calories").EntireColumn.Hidden = False
End If

I'm familiar with the code to allow grouping/ungrouping in a protected spreadsheet; http://www.ozgrid.com/Excel/outlining-protected.htm. How would I code to allow for hiding/unhiding cloumns and rows while still protecting the spreadsheet? Also, how could i allow for this file to be shared? Currently i'm getting an debug error when another person enters the file.

I am having a problem with one of my workbooks. I have grouped some columns, but now I can't see the button on the top of the grouped ones. I tried to group/ungroup again and, as there were some hidden rows, I tried to unhide them all and it is still not working.

I am trying to create a sheet to resemble tree structure of rows. That is by default all the parent rows must be visible and click of + sign, the row should expand to show its child rows which in turn can have child rows but appear collapsed. When I choose two rows and click on Group and select rows, I see a grouping but when I try to collapse using - sign, both 2 rows gets disabled. I want to make the first row as parent and second row as child. How do I do it?

I have a ton of worksheets that I maintain for Budget, LE, LE2, LE3. Every time we complete a Budget I need to group the LE Columns, and once we complete an LE, the budget column needs to be grouped and LE column ungrouped. So twice a year I need to make these changes. It is quite cumber some to change this for multiple tabs.
I already have a technical worksheet to dynamically change the date, naming etc. I want to be able to add a cell that will either read 200 (budget), or 300 (LE). Depending on what his cell reads, I want to group and ungroup their respective columns.

Can any Mac users out there confirm that if a sheet is protected that a user cannot group and ungroup rows using the "+" if the sheet is protected using the following...
With Sheet1
.Protect Password:="******", UserInterfaceOnly:=True
.EnableOutlining = True
End With
It works fine on my PC Office 2003 but I hear it won't work on a Mac but I can't confirm it.

What I need to do is group and collapse certain columns when Cell D4 in my Date tab reads Bud. If it doesn't read Bud, I need it to ungroup those columns and group and collapse other columns.
So for example: If I have 6 columns (A - F), when Date tab cell D4 reads 'Bud'. I want to group columns A and B, and only show C-F. If the cell doesn't read Bud, I want columns A and B to be ungrouped, and Columns E and F to be grouped and collapsed.
I've been racking my brain, using the Record Macro and just cannot get it correct. Granted I have created something similar to HIDE my columns, however I need it to be grouped so that higher management can ungroup to see some details if need be.
Code:
Sub GroupColumn()
Dim s As Worksheet
For Each s In ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(Array("Name1", "Name2, "Name3", "Name4"))
If Worksheets("Date").Cells(1, 4).Value = "Bud" Then
[Code].....

I Need the outline/group feature to work on a protected workbook with over 200 sheets, meaning a macro to cover the entire workbook not just a single sheet. This macro should travel with the workbook as it will be on many different peoples PC's
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim cSheet As Integer
Dim tSheet As Worksheet
On Error Resume Next
cSheet = 1
Set tSheet = Worksheets(cSheet)
While Err.Number = 0
Call wbProtect(tSheet)
cSheet = cSheet + 1
Set tSheet = Worksheets(cSheet)
Wend
Err.Number = 0
End Sub..........................

I have a sheet that I protect but i use the below code so that I can still use my gouping '+' or '-' symbols to hide/unhide rows.
ws.Protect Password:="PASSWORD", userinterfaceonly:=True
ws.EnableOutlining = True
This is ok but When close the workbook and reopen it, my sheet becomes fully protected and i cant use the group icons. Can anyone either suggest better code or a way to initilise the workbook to act in this way when it loads up. For Reference Below is my full
Sub ProtectAll()
Dim ws As Worksheet
sSheet = Control.Name
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
Select Case ws.Name
Case sSheet1
Case Else
ws.Protect Password:="PASSWORD", userinterfaceonly:=True
ws.EnableOutlining = True
End Select
Next ws

I have this file in which I have 25 empty rows in between different categories. On the side of each category there is a plus sign which is supposed to unhide an empty row below the last used one, and a minus sign which should hide the last empty row within the category (i.e. mobilization, earthworks...). I faced many problems and tried to simplify it as much as possible (trying the code for only one category, msgboxes with the values to understand what was going on) but no luck. The problem that I have been stuck at the moment is that when I try to count the rows from C73 to the last used row, it bypasses the hidden ones. I have a mess of a code and a print screen which I am attaching. printscreen.jpg
VB:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick( _
ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim rInt As Range
[Code].....

I've come across a spreadsheet where certain rows and columns (typically top rows or left columns) are hidden; however, there's no way to unhide them (the unhide function is grayed out) and it doesn't seem to be protected or no visible macros/vba on the file.

I have a workbook with about 20 worksheets in it.
6 are visible
3 are hidden
the remaining are very hidden
I'm creating a "welcome" page to the workbook with instructions on how to update data. The data between the 20 sheets consists of pivot tables, charts and summary data. The Visible sheets are data for management's review (all protected). The 3 hidden sheets are pivot tables that the user needs to pull data from and the very hidden sheets are not to be seen by anyone.
In my "welcome" page, I added the instructions of how to update data, but wanted an area where I could assign a checkbox or button to click on for the user to unhide my 3 hidden sheets (say Sheet1, Sheet2 and Sheet3). I do not want it to unhide my very hidden sheets. Then, when the information needed is retrieved from those sheets, I would like the user to use a checkbox or button to hide the 3 hidden sheets again. Is there a way to do this?
I tried creating custom view but couldn't do that because of the pivot tables (the option was disabled). I'm a beginner in VBA so don't even know how to begin.

I have a spreadsheet that has 28 columns for time entries. Typically only the first 12 columns are used, so I would like to hide the remaining 16 columns (which makes the spreadsheet much more user-friendly). It would probably be nearly impossible to teach all of them how to Unhide the remaining columns (and re-Hide), plus I would like to use the full-screen function when employees enter thier times. I would like to use a form control in the column heading so that when the employees 'check' it, it will Unhide and then re-Hide the columns. Any way to do this? Seems like a VB thing to me (out of my league, but would be happy to add one in!).

I am looking for a way to hide and unhide tabs. The first sheet of the workbook is an information sheet and I have a dropdown box in cell N3 to select Yes or NO to correct financial issues. If I select NO I would like to also hide tabs for sheet 4 and sheet 22.
I have used this for hiding rows:
If ActiveSheet.Cells(2, 2).Value = 0 Then Rows(146).Hidden = True
Can this be adapted to hide tabs?

Could someone provide me with the VBA to 'toggle' between HIDING and UNHIDING columns within one macro
e.g. toggle between this hiding and unhiding the following
Sub HideColumns()
Range("G:G,I:I,AB:AV").Activate
Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = True
End Sub
