Protected Sheet & Allow Use Of Autofilter
Dec 20, 2007
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....

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.

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.

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 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.

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 am using Excel 2010 and I have a password protected workbook with password protected sheets that uses several macros. Most of them, in order to run, have to un-protect the sheet and then re-protect it again. This has been accomplished easily enough by adding ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:= "mypassword" and ActiveSheet.Protect Password:= "mypassword" to the appropriate places in the script. All of my macros, which do various things like sorting and moving data, deleting blank rows, displaying dialog boxes containing warning messages etc. run fine.
My problem is this: when I password protect the sheets manually, I have checked the following options in the "Protect Sheet" dialog box. Under "Allow users of this worksheet to" I have checked 1)Select unlocked cells and 2)Format cells. After entering my password and closing the dialog box my sheet is protected, but I can edit cells in the manner my allowances permit. However, once I run any of the macros that un-protect and re-protect the sheet, I remain able to select and edit unlocked cells (practically, for my purposes, this means that I can input data which will appear in the default font size and color of the sheet) but I cannot format cells (which, practically, for my purposes would allow me to occasionally change the font color and size of the data). Naturally, after running a macro, the other cell-formatting options are unavailable to me as well. Is there any way to get my manual selections to remain in place after running a macro that functions as mine do? Or is there any way to make my manual selections the default settings for a protected sheet?

I have spent ages creating a work diary and have protected the sheets using VBA however on finishing the sheet one important thing that needs to happen is the ability to copy and paste information from the boxes to another worksheet. i.e MONDAY - SUNDAY

Does anyone know if there is a way to unprotect a sheet. The person who created this spreadsheet no longer works for our company and although we can see the spreadsheet, the formulas are hidden so we can't figure out where the data is being pulled in from. Any ideas?

What code would I use to test if the sheet is protected or not? In other words:
If Activesheet.Protection = True Then
MsgBox "You have no authority!!!"
Else
' Some code here
End If

In my "MAIN" Sheet. Column A starts at 12th row and contains ONLY Strings. I would like to Autofilter Column A for every unique String (criteria) in Column A (from 12th row to 1000th row). Copy the thus filtered (i.e. visible) cells from (ONLY) column C (for every criteria). Paste the copied cells to a new sheet, starting from A4 of the new sheet. Give the name of the Criteria as the name for the new sheet. Come back to "MAIN" sheet and show a pop up "Sorted".

I have a workbook whose worksheets use protection (don't want my calculations stomped on).
When the Protection is on, the search function does not work. You call it up, write what you are looking for, it accepts it, and then when you tell it to search it ignores you.
When you turn the protection off, the search function works just fine.
HOWEVER....Other workbooks I have with protection on its sheets do not share this problem, just this one workbook. And the problem is on all sheets in this workbook. The problem is not on any of the sheets in the other workbooks. I can't see anything different between them, but then I may not know what to look at.

I wanted to know:
Q1. How can we insert new rows in a protected sheet?
For example: In the attached sample protected excel sheet "insert rows.xlsx" , if for Employee ID and Name fields, the user has more no. of records than provided, how can he insert new rows considering the fact that Company ID and Name field are locked.
Or any way to address this issue via some other method like adding a scrollbar,etc.

I have protected several sheets in my workbook to protect the forumlas and data for being tempered with by the users.
When I try to run my macro, I get an error message stating:
Runtime '1004'
You can not use this command on a protected sheet
And the debug is pointing to this part of my code

I have a question relating to the use of autofilter in a protected sheet.
My code is working fine in setting the autofilter and locking down the sheet but a user then loses the ability to use the (Data - Filter - Show All) menu button.
Is there a way to have the worksheet protected, allow the use of the auto filters, and allow the use of the show all button?
Code below incase it is of relevence ...

I am looking for VBA code that will unprotect the Workbook, prompt the user for the number of rows to be added, find the last row in the Worksheet, insert the requested number and reprotect the Worksheet. I would like the location where the rows are inserted to NOT be dependent on the "active" cell.

I have a protected sheet to avoid delete of functions. In a specific area, however, i have merged cells of five columns in rows. Because in these lines i have write some text and overcomes the rows, after, what i do is: i unmerge the rows and choose 3 rows from 5 columns together and merge. Thus, the text is in one framework. In fact, every time, i want to merge different regions, but always i want to merged any areas who have marked with the mouse. Then, i delete the text and i need to redo the context of three lines, three separate lines. I hope you understand what i need.MergeAndUnMerge.xlsm

I want to allow user copy(Ctrl + C) and paste(Ctrl + V) a row. because some columns are locked and the sheet is protected. so, when user doing so, a warning dialog is show and can't do the paste.
so, I want to make it available in code. what I want to do is add some codes in this function:
VB:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Application.CutCopyMode = True Then 'there are someing in clipboard
Sheet1.Unprotect 'unprotect sheet, so can paste
End If
and in Worksheet_Change function, I protect the sheet again.
But I find that when I do Sheet1.Unprotect , the clipboard is empty! I just want to allow user can copy and paste a row, the locked cell's value can be ignored.

I'm trying to manage my Stock by using protected sheet, but i stuck with this "row adding with formula" stuff.
The user can only write in the colored cell, but everytime the user add new row, the formula doesn't copying by itself
I attach the file below with no password, if it's protected, the password is none, just press enter ( password : "" )

I am working on an excel table in my worksheet contains formulas and locked cells. lets say table range is from column "a" to "f" and there is formula on cell in columns "c" and "f". I just locked cells in column "c" and "f" to prevent people changing the formula accidentally. but when the sheet is protected i am not able to insert or delete rows as the rows has locked cells in columns "c" and "f".
I tried the below macro to unlock the sheet, insert row and lock the sheet again:
[Code] .....
So by running the macro it asks the password and do the job but the issue is it needs password and i do not want people to know my password. I don't want them able to unlock the workbook and make any undesired changes. I want them to be allowed insert or delete rows and input data in unlocked cell. I want the sheet to be locked all the time and only when people want to insert or delete a row it be unlocked and be locked again after inserting or deleting whit no need to insert password in this case only.

I have a protected sheet. Under normal circumstances, once the sheet is protected, the facility to choose the font goes away. You can allow it by putting a check against 'Format Cells' in the protection dialogue. But then, the user can format all aspects of the cell.
What if I want the user to be able to format only the font (type and size) and nothing else in the cell or in a range of cells. Is there a procedure or VBA for that?

One of our password-protected shared workbooks is acting oddly, but only for one user. The protection is supposed to allow users to expand and collapse grouped columns using the "+" and "-" symbols on the sheet, and for most users it is; but one user is getting an error message that she can't perform that operation on a protected sheet. I've had her close and reopen the file and we have confirmed that she has the same version of Excel as the users who aren't having the issue (Excel 2007). This is a shared file on a server, not a local copy on her computer.
