Is it possible to sort a protected worksheet?
I have a worksheet that I've protected all the cells that
contain formulas so that other user's can't inadvertently delete them. However, I need to be able to sort the data, but it's not an option when the sheets protected. Any suggestions? |
turn on macro recorder

Hi
only possible using VBA (first unprotecting the sheet, then sorting and protecting the sheet again) -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany "Phyllis" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ...

Thanks. I tried that and I get a message that the project
is locked, and it won't record the macro. -----Original Message----- Hi only possible using VBA (first unprotecting the sheet, then sorting and protecting the sheet again) -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany "Phyllis" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ...

Hi

Unprotect the project in the VBE--not unprotect the workbook in excel.
(In the OP's other thread, the thought of a Shared workbook was discussed, too.)

I have a worksheet that I've protected ...
Don't know if this would apply, but in the latest versions of Excel, when you go Tools | Protection | Protect Sheet you can select "Allow all users of this worksheet to:" and select "Sort", which is nearer the bottom of the list. -- Dana DeLouis Win XP & Office 2003 "Dave Peterson" wrote in message ...

does selecting 'sort' work?
in the protect menu i have ticked 'autofilter' and i can use autofilter, and i have ticked 'sort', but i can't use sort - is this a bug, or am i missing something?
