Outline Macro Not Allowing Filtering On A Protected Sheet?
May 5, 2014
I have the following macro so that we can use the outline feature without having to unprotect a sheet.
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
With Worksheets("Schedule")
.Protect Password:="APQP", Userinterfaceonly:=True[code]....
However once the macro is run, filtering will not work without unprotecting the sheet first. If you choose not to run the macro, filtering will work without unprotecting the sheet however the outline feature will not. what I need to add and where to make both the outline and filter features to work without having to unptotect the sheet?

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
End Sub

I made a sheet to control some reports, and it works like this: you click a button ("Insert"), it opens a userform, you type everything there (date, serial number, client, city) and it place that info on the first row available. Then there's a "Clear Last Entry" button, and that's it.
I would like to protect the whole sheet and only allow users to insert new entries via the "Insert" button. How can I do this? If I protect normally Excel won't allow the VBA code to write on cells.

I have a spreadsheet that contains an outline-like number in column A, except where there are values in Column C. What I want is to automatically outline based on column A and subtotal at each succesive outline level (i.e. I would like to be able to roll up the subtotals to variousl depths of the outline).
Code:
A B C
1.1first level
1.1.1Second level
1.1.1.1third level
value 5
1.2first level
1.2.1second level
value 7
value 4
1.2.2second level
1.2.2.1third level
value 6

I have a protected worksheet where I allow all users of the worksheet to filter yet when I filter, Excel gives a run time error 1004 - you cannot use this command in a protected worksheet. Could someone let me know what am I doing wrong?

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 a macro that turns off filtering option when it runs. What I want is for to first warn the user that rows have been filtered and the Macro will not run, then once the filters are switch off, the macro will run. It does the last bit at the moment but switches off the filtering of protected cells and once the macro has run the sheet can no longer be filtered .
Sub NewRowSQT()
Dim ans As String
ans = MsgBox("Ensure you have selected a cell in column B immediately below the section you wish to add to or the Macro will FAIL!", vbYesNo)

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 sheet that is several hundred rows long and so I have grouped like data so the user can expand or colapse the data they would like to see. There is nothing on the page the user will need to modify so I have protected the page so they cannot make changes. If I protect the sheet then I am no longer able to expand or colapse the groupings.

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'd like my button-triggered macro to exit and quit IF the sheet it is on is protected when someone presses the button. Here's the idea:
IF the active sheet protected THEN
Display "Can't do this on protected sheet" (and exit macro after click OK)
Else
run the rest of the macro.

I am creating a series of macros for a workbook, and at the beginning of each macro I unprotect all sheets and at the end of each macro I protect the sheets once more. The issue I am having is that even with these macros in place, I continue to receive an Excel alert message saying:
"The cell or chart that you are trying to change is protected and therefore read-only. To modify a protected cell or chart, first remove protection using the Unprotect Sheet command (Review tab, Changes group). You may be prompted for a password."
The macro will then run. Everything works as it should, but I do not want this error message to pop up. I have tried inserting
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
into the code, but it does not stop the message.

I am getting an error when I protect a worksheet and save it. Upon re-opening the worksheet, I try to use the cells that are being formatted by a macro, but I get the following error...
Run-time error '1004':
Unable to set the NumberFormat property of the Range Class.
If I open the worksheet and it is already protected from when I last closed it, then I get the error. If I unprotect the sheet, then close it and reopen it, then I don't get the error. Does anyone know what I might be missing or doing wrong.

I have used a small macro to format the sheet to hide cells with no entries and then print. The problem is that when the sheet is protected, then macro wont work. The sheet needs to be protected by the end user. I am only really learning excel, I could add to the following so the sheet can remain protected?
Intersect(ActiveSheet.UsedRange, Range("O:O")).Offset(0, 1).Select
Range("O39:O155").Select
Selection.EntireRow.Hidden = True
Columns("O:O").Select
Range("O21").Activate
Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = True
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, Collate:=True
Cells.Select
Range("A21").Activate
Selection.EntireRow.Hidden = False
Columns("N:P").Select
Range("N21").Activate
Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = False
End Sub

I am fairly new to macros and I am currently working on a project where I would like to create a 2 buttons which will filter by date and by owner. The spread sheet I have is fairly large and is added to weekly.
I have two objectives that I am trying to reach:
First I need to filter for all past due task items from the Thursday of the week I am working in back and for a specific person (owner) by the finish date
Second I need to filter for upcoming tasks one week out for a specific person (owner). The objective of this is so that on any given day a user can find any upcoming tasks that are due one week out.
If this is not an option. My thought was to create an input box where the user can input the date and the information on the spread sheet will pull all past due items or upcoming tasks. These two items need to pull seperatly not together.
I know I can create a macro by autofiltering by columns however I am trying to avoid having to go in and change the date each week.
Start date is column E
Finish date is column F
Owner is column L

I've got a work book with numourous password protected sheets which i quite often have to update (as i use around 10 of these with at least 10 sheets in each its time consuming). I've had several goes at creating 2 macros to unlock and then lock the sheets (with my password). I've managed to create on that unlocks the sheets using the password but i can't get a macro to lock the sheets up again using the password.

how to unprotect the sheets in order to be able copying datas to to certain cells.
The unprotection works but only when I start the macro the second time. I do not understand why.
After I did the updates I want to reprotect the sheets but that seems not to work in my case.
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="my_password_here"
'unprotect the sheet
ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, _
Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True, Password:="my_password_here"
' Reprotect the Sheet

I have a Workbook that I use to log invoices and credit notes and it is password protected so that the cells that contain formulas are locked and therefore not selectable.
What I wanted to know is. Is it possible to lock other cells depending on what values are in certain cells?
Let me explain. I have Columns G & H which contain the heading 'Credit Note Number' & 'Credit Note Amount'. Now in columns I & J I have the heading 'Invoice Number' & 'Invoice Amount' respectively.
What I have done is to make a condional formatting so that If I put a value in cells in column G it will change the colour of the adjacent cells in columns I & J, likewise If I fill in cells in column I the conditional formatting will change the colour of adjacent cells in coulumn G & H. This helps me to see whether a row contains a credit note or an invoice.
What I would ideally like is for a Macro that would automatically locks cells G & H in a particular row that I am currently working on if I enter data into the cell in column I. Likewise if I am entering data in column G in the row I am currently working on for a credit note, then lock columns I & J in the row I am currently in.
Any Ideas how this can be done? Also can locking and unlocking of cells be done in VBA while the sheet is protected or would the macro need to temporarily unprotect sheet, lock the cells then protect sheet again?
PS: I have uploaded a Jpeg of what my conditional formatting does to try and illustrate what it is I need.

I have a protected worksheet containing an SQL query. I have two cells on the worksheet unlocked so that users can enter fresh parameters to feed the query.
Because I have to use MS Query to interrogate our SQL server (current IT decree), the query won't support parameters directly when the query cannot be represented graphically - so I have to manually edit the sql command text and then refresh the query - or at least that was why I wrote the code below
The problem: My macro won't unprotect the sheet before it calls the SQL.it therefore won't update the sheet to detail the DSN, command text and number of parameters (latter should be 0) - info just used to verify queryit won't run the query / return the data as the sheet is still protected Comment: I have had to remove sheet protection in order to allow the sql to execute and return data. If protection is removed, the query does execute and return data ( changes in the "parameter" cell contents do cause the query to be correctly modified)
I could comment out the debug info but the query still doesn't return data if the sheet is protected.
Activesheet And worksheets(ndx) where ndx has been defined As ActiveSheet.Name

When you have 0 divided by 0 if there a way to show 0 instead of the div/o error message. The reason I want to know if that I have a spreadsheet for peoples efficiency during the week which feeds into another sheet to provide a monthly/yearly totals and who is the best and worst, but if there on holiday for a week or two the feed does not work as the error message does not allow the other sheet to calculate.

i want to do the following: initialize a sheet by showing form1, which accepts user input for rows and cols name a range on the sheet of size rows x cols display form2 which is just a "DONE" button that they click when they're finished pause/stop the macros and allow the user to fill in values for that range start up some other macros when they press the "DONE" button.
i tried it and found that when you display a form it locks the sheet (can't select the sheet to input values) and you can't even alt tab away from the form. is there a way around this?

How can I have my macro run in its cell and still allow the cell to be blank? Say I have a number, 0.99, in the cell and I want to delete it and leave it blank. I can either push "Backspace" or the delete key and it still leaves zeros.
If I push the space bar it stops the macro (which I do not want to happen) and leaves the cell blank because I added a space.

I'm having difficulty allowing my macro to run in a more global environment with varying data-set lengths.
For example:
Though the following "copy" scenario works for me when my data set is contained within cells B2:B35:
Range("A2:A35").Select
Selection.Copy
It does not allow me to work with a set of data that extends beyond this--say to B50 or B60. Is there any way to allow this command, and others, to be a bit more flexible with my data set lengths?
