Hi Experts,
I have a protected view file and a normal one. I am trying to run the above code from the normal one but I'm getting run time error 91 object variable or with block variable not set. Any ideas how I can fix this?
regards,

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
I've found the solution and it is this:
code
Application.ProtectedViewWindows(1).Edit
ActiveWindow.ActivateNext
The problem was that VBA doesn't recognise a protected view workbook as a workbook.
