What settings should I use in order to allow a user to sort data in a table when some of the cells are locked?
When I protected the sheet I ticked the option to allow user to sort data but it doesn't work...
I have a sheet protected and filters enabled. I use this code to enable sort and filters:
[Code] ........
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)."
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.
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'm using Excel 2010 and I've got a chart on a worksheet and the worksheet needs to be protected. I'm able to manipulate the chart in any fashion EXCEPT the position of the Data Labels. Is this a bug in Excel 2010?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have created a simple userform that is linked to a button on sheet1. When the data in the userform is submitted, I set it up so it goes into a database under sheet2. The problem is, I don't want anyone modifying the entries in the database. Usually I would protect the sheet with a password, but when I do that, there is an error when the userform is submitted. The only thing I can think of is to hide sheet2, which doesn't seem like a great solution.
Is there any way to protect my database from being modified yet still allow the userform to be linked to it?
Is it possible to keep the sort icon available on a worksheet which is protected? I have issued a spreadsheet to colleagues which contains formulas so I have protected it, but I have now been informed that they need to be able to sort the data according to a ref number.

Is there any way to allow autofiltering and sorting even with locked cells within the range to be sorted? I've conditionally locked some cells based on user input, and at the end of my vb code I have allowsorting and allowfiltering. But I want to sort cells that are locked even after that. Does anyone know if that's even possible with VB?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a column containing 365 entries, one for each day of the year. This I intend to send out to Army bands, to have them fill in their forecast of engagements. I do not want them to be able to amend the original diary, but to scroll to the bottom of the list, add a new entry with the applicable date and then be able to 'sort' back to chronological order. This would then allow a separate entry for every engagement to allow me to interrogate the spreadsheet. As I have protected the sheet, the 'sort' facility does not function even though when protecting I ticked the box to allow users to 'sort'.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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 am trying to sort a table of data by "Status" and automatically populate another Sheet. In Sheet 1, I have data as follows:
Issue Status Issue - 1 Open Issue - 2 Closed Issue - 3 Closed Issue - 4 Open Issue - 5 Closed Issue - 6 Open
I want Sheet 2 to automatically sort this information by Status = "Open".
Issue Status Issue - 1 Open Issue - 4 Open Issue - 6 Open
How I can accomplish this by Excel functions (I do not want to use Pivot table)?
I have 2 columns on sheet 1 as below. I need a code to put all the data in column B vertically on sheet 2 as the result shows. Please note all cells data will be off various lengths all seperated by a comma.

Result after code has run.

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 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.
