Sort on Protected Fields
I am trying to Sort on Protected Field and unprotected fields, I have a spreadsheet that I have protected from users, but there is a need for them to sort the data range. Because some of the fields are protected the user gets an error when the macro is run to sort.
Can anyone help |
