Grouping and Outlining in Excel using sheet protection
I have groups in my Spreadsheet. BUT, I'd also like to protect while allowing
other users to "Show Detail" and fill in some of the cells. Is it possible to protect a Worksheet and allow users to expand groups and make changes? Thank you . . . |
Grouping and Outlining in Excel using sheet protection
If you already have the outline/subtotals/autofilter applied, you can protect
the worksheet in code (auto_open/workbook_open??). Option Explicit Sub auto_open() With Worksheets("sheet1") .Protect Password:="hi", userinterfaceonly:=True .EnableOutlining = True '.EnableAutoFilter = True 'If .FilterMode Then ' .ShowAllData 'End If End With End Sub It needs to be reset each time you open the workbook. (Earlier versions of excel don't remember it after closing the workbook. IIRC, xl2002+ will remember the allow autofilter setting under tools|Protection|protect sheet, but that won't help when you're filtering via code.) Rich wrote: I have groups in my Spreadsheet.

Thank you very much Dave . . . it worked like a charm. (And, although my know
of VBA is very limited, I understand it!) Thanks again!
