Protect and unprotect Pivot table
 

Hi,

Is there any way we can protect and unprotect the pivot table only through
macro not the whole sheet?

Thanks

Protect and unprotect Pivot table
 

Hi
you can only protect the whole sheet BUT you can try the following:
- select the other cells
- goto 'Format - Cells - Protection' and uncheck 'Locked'
- NOW protect your worksheet

Protect and unprotect Pivot table
 

Use the
Activesheet.EnablePivotTable
Activesheet.Protect Password:="ABC", UserInterfaceOnly:=True

This must be done each time the workbook is opened as the EnablePivotTable
and UserInterfaceOnly settings are not persistent across the closing of a
workbook (so use the workbook open event as an example. )

Hi Frank,

I need to unprotect the pivot table and protect rest of the sheet.

If i protect the whole then my pivot table doesnt works and I cant select
any item.

Help would really be appreciated.
