Lock spreadsheet but can sort
I am working on a template. I'd like to lock my spreadsheet so others who
use this template can't change the formula inside, but I'd like to make the sorting feature available. Is there a way to do this? When I go to Tool Protection Protect Sheet, it also disable the sorting feature in Excel. Any help or advice? Thanks, GU |

But you can only sort a contiguous unlocked range of cells so is very limited

I'm using Excel 2004 for Macintosh. I think it's equivalent to Excel 2003
for PC. Unfortunately, there is no such option for me. Are there any Visual Basic option that I can go about to set this up? It just seems so restricted to set this up in Excel, but that's all we have. Thanks for any help.

"it doesn't work" means what?
No sorting? Post your sorting code. Incorrect sorting? Post your sorting code. Gord On Fri, 14 Dec 2007 10:36:05 -0800, Neon520 wrote: Thanks for everyone's help. I try but it doesn't work.
