Allow For Group/ungroup On Protected Sheet
Jun 1, 2006I'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?
Can't See Group / Ungroup Buttons
Dec 15, 2011I 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.

Mar 6, 2014I 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?

Oct 18, 2013I 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.
Group And Ungroup With Mac Office 2004

It works fine on my PC Office 2003 but I hear it won't work on a Mac but I can't confirm it.
Macro To Group / Ungroup Multiple Columns?
Feb 21, 2014What 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

Group/Ungroup In A Protected Shared Workbook
Aug 20, 2008I 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?
How Do You Allow Hide/unhide Or Group/ungroup Features While Protected
Dec 20, 2007We 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 ....

View 9 Replies View RelatedTotally Ungroup Existing Grouping Of Rows In Sheet?
Feb 3, 2012I need to totally ungroup existing grouping of rows in a sheet. Totally ungroup = strip it totally of any grouping. In short, it should be back to its original state of no grouping at all.
Problem is that I do not know if the sheet has existing grouping, or if it does, how many levels of grouping.
The solution I have in mind right now is just to indiscriminately run ungrouping vba line 10X and just place an error handler i.e.
Code:
Sub Macro1()
On Error Resume Next
Range("A5:A29").Rows.Ungroup
Range("A5:A29").Rows.Ungroup
Range("A5:A29").Rows.Ungroup
Range("A5:A29").Rows.Ungroup
Range("A5:A29").Rows.Ungroup
[code].....
Is there a shorter way to handle this code-wise?
Password Protect: Unlock The Worksheet, Autofilter It, Print It, Unfilter It, And Password Protect The Sheet Again?
Jan 12, 2007I have a sheet that is password protected. I have this code attached to a command button. It will unlock the worksheet, autofilter it, print it, unfilter it, and password protect the sheet again. However it is protecting it without a password. I need to have it protected with the password so that someone will not be able to just go to tools to unprotect the sheet.

Excel 2010 :: Macro Runs On Protected Sheet But Changes Protect Sheet Options?
Feb 24, 2011I 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?

Jan 21, 2010My user form has a line of code that protects the sheets and does not allow any changes and selection of cells. It worked great on my personla computer.
Running the file on another computer the code does not protect the sheet. The strange thing is that if I go the Tools>Protection> the options is set to Unprotect. That measn that the code actually has protected the sheet but I am still able to make chages. If I manually unprotect and again protect the sheet, it is protected till the time close the file and open it again.
Protect The Sheet
Apr 21, 2009Excel file 1 has:
Sheet 1: Account numbers and balances
Sheet 2: Mapping information detailing what account in file 1 is to go to a different account number in file 2.
Excel file 2 has:
Lots of sheets where information is to be keyed in.
This is a very manual process with lots of data entry to input into accounting forms I send to our head office. The "file 2" has sheet protection on all sheets so that formats, data, columns etc etc cannot be altered and only certain fields updated.
I think I have successfuly written my scripts to loop through the account values and map those to all spots in all sheets they are referenced to on the mapping document, however I am getting an error message that the "cell or chart you are trying to change is protected and therefore read-only".
Basically I look through the sheet and look for my mapping code, if that matches, I add the balance to the exisitng value of the cell, in the next column.
i.e. if B2 has the corresponding code I will add the balance to the current value of cell C2.
This is an extract of the code where I am looking up the sheet:
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In Sheets
If Left(ws.Name, 2) "OP" Then
Dim rg As Range
Dim cl As Range
Set rg = Range("A1:IV65536")
For Each cl In rg
If ActiveCell.Locked = False Then
If cl = kessanid Then
cl.Offset(0, 1).Value = acctvalue
End If
End If
Next cl
End If
Exit For
Next ws
It may be that because the sheet is protected as a whole nothing can be done but I was hoping that because I am going to the specific cell which allows input I should be able to do this.
Protect / Unprotect Sheet
Jan 23, 2013I am using the following code to protect/unprotect a sheet in a tool that i am working on, which seems to work great. It unprotects the sheet runs the code inbetween the two liens of code and then protects the sheet again.
VB:
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password = "mypassword"
ActiveSheet.Protect Password = "mypassword"
The issue I am having is if i want to go in and edit the sheet without running the code it will not let me. When I go in and type the password to unprotect it says it is invalid. I have typed it exactly how the code reads. I have even tried including the quotes but no luck.

Protect Sheet Name From Being Changed
Jan 16, 2008Can you protect a sheet name from being changed by a user?
Can you protect a sheet from being deleted by a user?
I have an Excel 2003 file available to all employees on a network. There are three sheets. Two sheets are protected with passwords and users can not enter any data on them. They are used to hold data needed by the third sheet.
The third sheet (named FORM) is for user input. FORM has a majority of the cells protected with a password. Users can enter information, save the file, print the sheet, or make duplicates of the sheet. The sheet contains data validations, conditional formatting, and formulas.
I have some VBA which acts on all the sheets (even those which users might have inserted) making them visible (very hidden) or not. When a user opens the file (whether for the first time or after adding sheets), I always want them to have FORM unhidden. I have VBA to do this but what if a user changes the name of the sheet? CRASH!

Protect Portion Of Sheet
Oct 13, 2009I find the protection options of Excel confusing. I have a pivot table. Alonside it our a few formula columns. I want to protect only the columns outside the pivot but can not get it to work. I tried this:
1) Highlight entire sheet
2) Format Cells Protection - remove checkmark from: Lock Cells
3) Highlight 4 rows outside pivot
4) Format Cells Protection - place checkmark in Lock Cells
5) Tools Protection Sheet - supply password
The result is that the 4 columns outside the pivot are indeed locked BUT SO IS THE PIVOT...ie you can not utlize the dropdowns!
It must have something to do with the pivot, on a regular sheet (no pivot) it works fine. Further if, while Protecting the sheet, I click the: allow Pivot table reporting box, then it allows dropdown usage but blows up as soon as you select something with an error about not being able to redisplay selected itemsbecause of protection being on....
