Sorting tables on protected worksheets
How do we configure our worksheet so that we can turn protection ON, but still enable the table filter buttons in order to sort columns in a table? No matter what settings we select for protection, including the sort and auto-filter options, we cannot sort tables on a protected sheet. What is the secret to allowing table sorts on a protected sheet?

Generally one has code to unprotect, code to do the sort, then re-protect. By "tables" do you a real Table created by Insert>Table? I can provide code that turns off protection when you click inside a Table. Click outside the Table and protection goes back on. Is this something you could work with?

If Gord's suggestion and offer of assistance isn't what you need, then things get a little flakey for you: In order to sort on a protected sheet, all of the cells that may potentially be involved in the sort must be unlocked. Quite often this defeats at least part of the purpose of protecting the sheet in the first place. As Gord said, the typical way to handle this enigma is via VBA code that unprotects the sheet, does the sort and then puts the sheet back into protected mode.

Thank you, Gord. I would be interested in a sample of the code. I have created code before to protect and unprotect a sheet tied to a button or cell, but haven't ever tied it to selecting a table or not. That may be a useful approach to this problem. Nevertheless, can you answer the following: As I indicated in the original message, when a worksheet is protected the user can choose options to allow auto-filtering or sorts. When these options are chosen, why is the program not allowing the user to sort the table using the filter buttons or a sort? One would infer from the protection options selected that the sort would be allowed!

I agree that the help on allowing sorting and filtering is not too detailed
and the implication is that you need only allow these options to be enabled
when protecting.
Not exactly true.
A protected sheet can be sorted or filtered but only under certain
conditions.
If the entire range to be sorted contains unlocked cells, you can sort that
range on a protected sheet.
If the Autofilter is enabled prior to protecting the sheet, autofilter can
be used.
Both options must be enabled when protecting the sheet.
Code to select a Table and unprotect the sheet.
Note that all cell protection within the Table is is removed.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim objlist As ListObject
Set objlist = Me.ListObjects(1) 'adjust the (1) if needed
On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, objlist.Range) Is Nothing Then
Me.Unprotect Password:="justme"
Else
With Me
.Protect Password:="justme"
.EnableSelection = xlNoRestrictions
End With
End If
ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

I am probably overlooking something stupid here but, I need to pull a value from a table when a form is not open? Dim InternalEmail As String InternalEmail = Forms!frmCommitteeEmail!DMEmail this gives an error if the form frmCommitteeEmail is not already open. I am pretty sure that is the problem because if I add code to first open the form it works fine. Any help here will be appreciated.

How do I format the tabs of a worksheet in Excel?
I am wondering if there is way to change the font size, font color, or tab color so it is easier to keep my sheets straight. I dont really want to make a table of contents or anything like that, I just need certain sheets to stand out more than others. If you have Excel 02, you can change the colors by right clicking on the tabs, If your version is earlier, you are out of luck "s_e_morin" wrote: > I am wondering if there is way to change the font size, font color, or tab > color so it is easier to keep my sheets straight.

Budget vs. Spending table
I'm switching from Money 2005 to 2007. In the 2005 version, under "Budget Summary" on the left sidebar from the Home page was a link to a report/table called "Budget vs. Spending. The table eas titled "Compare Actual Spending to Your Budget" and near the top had a drop down box to select the time period for the table. Below the table had the actual categories, spending, budget and difference in columns. Order was by category. I can't find this same table/report in 2007. Closest is viewing "Monthly Budget report - similar layout but no time choi...

Underlining figures in tables
In the past, whenever a document has had columns of dollar amounts and totals, I've always placed a narrow-width column between each regular column so that when underlining the cells above the "Total," in each column, it would not appear as one straight line spanning several columns. However, I've just taken over a long document from someone else who has underlined the last items in the columns before the totals--and the lines do not extend all across the column; in other words, they look like mine, but without all the trouble I've gone through! Please...

Pivot Table
Hi! What is the maximum rows allowed in a data range when using a pivot table? I have a pivot table that uses a data range. When I have only 4581 records in the data range, the pivot table updates with no problems. But, when entering more than 4581, the pivot table won't update and gives me an error. Am I hitting the max on data rows within my data range or is there a work-around.

sorting macro #3
I need to sort on 8 cells in a row and on 1500+rows. I can do it one at a time but I know there must be an easier way. Can ANYONE HELP? C3:J3 I need these cells sorted and then down to C1532:J1532 I did create a macro to sort after I selected them but still one at a time. Does it have to be a macro? I can edit a macro but don't really know how to program them. Yes, it has to be a macro. The following should do it. This macro loops through all the entries in Column C, and in each row it sorts the values in Columns C:J. HTH Otto Sub SortRows() Dim rColC As Range Dim i As...
Can we sort a form and also be able to enter new records.
Hi, It is possible to sort the data on a form and also be able to enter new and edit the existing records in it. Cheers!

I assume you mean "Is it". The form sort order has nothing to do with editing or adding new records, so the answer is yes. If you cannot edit or add new records, make sure the form's record source, if it is a query, is updateable. Some queries are not. O...

Count records from different table
Not sure if this is even do-able or not. I have a form (lets call it FORM A) that has details information about each Case. Each case can have multiple Collection records. I want text box on FORM A that just tells me the number of Collection records with the same Case number. I tried DCount in a new unbound text box, but i just get '#Error'. Any suggestions? You can use an unbound textbox, and in the form's On Current event open a recordset of the table, then populate the textbox with the recordcount from that recordset. For example, if your other table was called TBL an...
Disabled "Switch Row/Column" when creating chart from a pivot tabl

This I want to graph so that the weeks are on the X-axis, the values on the Y-axis and a legend telling which of the three datasets are which. When I create a Line graph the weeks are put as a legend and the X-axis have the three different datasets grouped. This is not what I want. When I go into "the "Select data..." dialog box all the options are disabled. Why is this and how can I get the graph to show the way I want?

Pivot Table
In a Excel Pivot Table, when we double-click a cell in the Data area, a new sheet is created with the details.

protecting format
I have just figured out how to protect the format of cells so that when a date is input it always goes to the same format and font etc, and the format cannot be changed by anyone. However, when a date cell is copied from another excel file to my protected cell it does not revert to my desired format. How can I ensure that whenever anything is pasted into the cell that the format will automatically revert to my desired format? (ie without having to paste special) - (maybe some VB code will do this???) Thank You! One way around this is to just change the number format each time a cell ch...
Unmerge so I can sort
I coy/pasted data into Excell and when I try to sort it I get "This operation requires merged sells to be identically sized". I understadn the work around in KB but how do I find which sells are merged? I wouldn't bother looking. I'd just remove all the merged cells from the range to sort. Select that range format|cells|alignment tab uncheck the merge cells box But if you wanted to search, you can do it via process of elimination. Select a range, format|cells|alignment tab. If that merge cells box is checked, then the whole selection is merged. If it's grey, t...
