Sorting whole Protected 2003 REDUX
We are working in Excel
OS Name Microsoft Windows XP Professional System Manufacturer Dell Inc. System Model Precision WorkStation T5400 Microsoft Excel version 11.8320.8221 (Excel 2003 of Office Professional Edition 2003) We are trying to sort and filter protected cells. In the Protect dialog, we have currently highlighted Select locked cells, Select unlocked cells, Sort, and Use AutoFilter before protecting the sheet. Of course, we have tried many things to make it work. The problem is, AutoFilter works with the sheet protected, but Sorting does not. We have tried both the Sort option in AutoFilter and the Sort available under the Data menu. There are a number of questions and excellent answers that cover this subject, but they do not seem to cover the issue of how Sorting is allowed when that option is checked before setting the protection. One does assume that it is allowed, since it is in the protection check list. |
