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

Create a Pivot Table on a Map
If your data has zip codes, postal codes, or city names, select the data and use Insert, 3D Map. (Found to right of chart icons).
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
😊
