Hello,
I found some excellent code to add and delete table rows in protected sheets here: Insert & Delete Table Rows With Worksheet Protection — The Spreadsheet Guru, which @Fluff kindly helped me modify to enable filtering and sorting. The original code operates as 3 functions in a workbook module, but I also have code on my worksheet which hides a column unless there is specific text in another column below:
If this above code is enabled, the modules break with this message:
...near the bottom of the DeleteTableRows module here:
It's way beyond my ability to debug and fix. Would somebody mind helping?
This is the full module code:

VBA Code:
