Macros in a protected sheet

I have a worksheet with a mixture of data entry cells and cells derived from formulas.

I want to protect the formula derived cells so I have locked them and protected the worksheet (no password).

I have various buttons running macros to perform bespoke filters. These are inoperative because the worksheet is protected.

Is there a way to allow the macros to run but still keep the worksheet protected so that users cannot overwrite cells with formulas?

Many thanks

No, it appears to be more than one. I set up a dummy worksheet in a new workbook to see if it had the same behaviour and it had, so it may be a general Form Control problem. I am running version 1902 if that is relevant.

That rules out a corrupted workbook.
