Protect woksheet and keep using outline capabilities
Hello,
I need to share a worksheet and protect certain cells (preventing users to replace formulas by values) I tried to lock these cells and protect the worksheet. Problem : when I do so, users can no longer use ouline "+" and "-" icons to show or hide columns. Could somebody help me ? I am using Excel 2003 Many thanks and kind regards -- Jean-Luc |
Protect woksheet and keep using outline capabilities
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.)
