Hi,

I have created a macro that will autoprotect and sutosave a sheet when closing with a specific password.

How I need to allow people who do not know the password to filter on the sheet.

what code do I need to add to allow filtering without being able to unprotect the sheet?

Code I currently have:

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Dim ws As Worksheet

For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
ws.Protect "Password"
Next ws

ThisWorkbook.Protect "Password", True

ThisWorkbook.Save

End Sub


Thanks
Stevie

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)
You set up the filter dropdowns first then change

Code:
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
ws.Protect "Password"
Next ws

to

Code:
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
ws.Protect Password:="Your_Password", AllowFiltering:=True
Next ws
