Question: I added an Excel workbook with multiple tabs to SharePoint. The workbook has macros that protect and unprotect the worksheets, which work perfectly on my local machine but stop functioning once uploaded to SharePoint. Is there a way to make this work, or is it not feasible? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Who is Mr Spreadsheet?
Author John Walkenbach was Mr Spreadsheet until his retirement in June 2019.
Once in SharePoint, if it opens in Excel for web, macros will not run. It must be running in the desktop app.

You can force it to open in the desktop app. In SharePoint, there is a setting...you may need the site owner to change it if you don't have access.
