Sheet Protection, Allow Sorting
This seems like a really old question, but I just can't figure it out...12
hours later. Spell it out for me please... I have a spreadsheet with a pretty header, column headers, and want to protect my document from data being changed only, but allow for sorting data (all columns) within range B6:M284. Give it to me as if I were in kindergarten...I'm not getting it! Thanks in advance for any help. You will be my hero if it works! Lucy |
Sheet Protection, Allow Sorting
Lucy
I don't think you're missing anything. The range to be sorted must be unlocked before protecting the sheet. i.e. B6:M284 must be unlocked. Excel help is little fuzzy on this point. Best method is to use a macro which unprotects, sorts and re-protects.
