Hello peeps,

I am using a macro button to unfilter a sheet, which works grand until I protect the sheet. Is there a way to enable this with a protected sheet at all?
VBA Code:
Sub Unfilter()
Sheet1.ShowAllData
End Sub
Ta very muchly! 😊
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
Ah, don't worry! Got it!
VBA Code:
Sub Unfilter()
Worksheets("My Sheet Name").Unprotect "My Password"

Sheet1.ShowAllData

Worksheets("My Sheet Name").Protect "My Password", AllowFiltering:=True, AllowFormattingColumns:=True, AllowFormattingRows:=True

Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Thank you anyway! 😊

Solution
Or for whole workbook:
VBA Code:
Sub Unfilter()
Dim wks As Worksheet
  Dim MyPassword As String

  MyPassword = "My Password"

  For Each wks In Worksheets

    If wks.FilterMode = True Then
           wks.Unprotect password:=MyPassword
           wks.ShowAllData
           wks.Protect password:=MyPassword, AllowFiltering:=True, AllowFormattingColumns:=True, AllowFormattingRows:=True
    End If
  Next wks
End Sub
😊
