filter on a protected sheet
I have a sheet on which I need to protect some cells. I have it
filtered. Whenever I protect the sheet, I cannot click on the little arrow to filter, even on cells that are not protected. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Peter |

filter on a protected sheet
But you must have the filters enabled/set prior to protecting the worksheet.

filter on a protected sheet
You can with a little VBA:
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 End With End Sub It needs to be reset each time you open the workbook. (excel doesn't remember it after closing the workbook.)
