its not wise to name your own functions and procedures the same as excel
object methods ... in this case you have a UDF called HasFormula which also
appies to a range object.
Change your function name

apart from this, you don't give enough information to assist further.

The Part 1 code Will 'UNPROTECT' 'SORT' 'PROTECT' only when the Part 2
code
is NOT installed.
When Part 2 code is installed into another module, the 'Step' routine
'UNPROTECTS' and 'SORTS' properly, but fails to 'PROTECT'.
No error is disdisplayed when the macro is run.

What could be the conflict?

'PART 1
Option Explicit
Sub RANKING_SORT()
ActiveSheet.Unprotect
Dim source As Range
With ActiveSheet
Set source = .Range(.Range("A11"), .Range("AR11").End(xlDown))
End With
source.Sort source.Range("V11"), xlAscending
ActiveSheet.Protect
End Sub


'PART 2
Function HasFormula(c As Range) As Boolean
HasFormula = c.HasFormula
End Function
