I am using Outlining on a sheet called "Today".The sheet is manually protected but now the outlining does not work as it says sheet protected.Is there a code i can use so that i can still have the Outlining working in a protected sheet.
View 5 RepliesI would like to know how the following code provided in the Excel Help Best Practice Forums , used to enable outlining on a protected sheet, can be applied to a shared workbook.
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
With Sheet1
.Protect Password:="Secret", UserInterfaceOnly:=True
.EnableOutlining = True
End With
End Sub
After enabling 'Share Workbook' and re-opening the file it presents the following error:
Run-time error '1004': Method 'Protect' of object '_Worksheet' failed
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 cannot run a macro because I am encountering error 1004, intersect of object. i am using a protected workbook, and I dont have the password to unprotect it, but it needs to be fill out using a macro from a different workbook. Is there a way around this?

When my user clicks a Group by button in Excel (+)(-), I want that event to kick off a macro that will hide columns D and E.
The idea is that when the user views data at different levels of aggregation, the spreadsheet will 'de-clutter' itself by hiding columns that the user doesnt need to see.
There is no obvious Excel event that responds to Group By. Can a Class Module achieve this? If so, can someone give me a 30 second overview?

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

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'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 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
When I protect my sheet and have the option to allow the users to autofilter the sheet, how come it doesn't work? I want to allow people to autofilter the data in the worksheet but not modify the contents of the cell.

We are needing to do a two tier sort in a protected spreadsheet. Is this possible?
The two columns that need to be sorted have protected cells between them.
If there a way to ad a button that will automatically do this sort for the user... as in can I add a button some how in one of the empty cells that will do it?
Here is the sheet. [URL] ..........
Looks like I need to sort column A thru Z, except W.
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 sheet protected and filters enabled. I use this code to enable sort and filters:

Nevetherless, when I try to sort, I receive this message in excel: "The cell or chart you re trying to change is on a protected sheet.
To make changes, click Unprotect Sheet in the Review tab (you might need a password)."
I would like to be able to add data to a protected sheet, only from a form without unprotecting the sheet first. Below is the code.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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?
