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:

VBA Code:
  ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="secret"
        Target.Calculate
        If Range("E" & (ActiveCell.Row)).Value <> "Test" Then
            Columns("G").EntireColumn.Hidden = True
        Else
            Columns("G").EntireColumn.Hidden = False
        End If
   ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="secret", AllowFiltering:=True, AllowSorting:=True, AllowFormattingCells:=False, AllowFormattingColumns:=False, AllowFormattingRows:=False, AllowInsertingColumns:=False, AllowDeletingColumns:=False

If this above code is enabled, the modules break with this message:
Run-time error '1004' Delete method of Range Class failed

...near the bottom of the DeleteTableRows module here:
VBA Code:
'Delete row (if wanted)
  If Answer = vbYes Then DeleteRng.Delete xlShiftUp

It's way beyond my ability to debug and fix. Would somebody mind helping?

This is the full module code:
VBA Code:
Function IsCellInTable(cell As Range) As Boolean
'PURPOSE: Determine if a cell is within an Excel Table
'SOURCE: www.TheSpreadsheetGuru.com/the-code-vault

IsCellInTable = False

On Error Resume Next
  IsCellInTable = (cell.ListObject.Name <> "")
On Error GoTo 0

End Function

Sub AddTableRows()
'PURPOSE: Add table row based on user's selection

Dim rng As Range
Dim InsertRows As Long
Dim StartRow As Long
Dim InsideTable As Boolean

'What is the worksheet password?
  Pword = "secret"

      On Error GoTo InvalidPassword
      .Unprotect Password:=Pword
      ReProtect = True
      On Error GoTo 0
    End If
  End With

'Loop Through each Area in Selection

'    'Is selected Cell within a table?
'      InsideTable = IsCellInTable(area.Cells(1, 1))
'
'    'Is selected cell 1 row under a table?
'      RowToBottom = IsCellInTable(area.Cells(1, 1).Offset(-1))
'
'    'How Many Rows In Selection?
'      InsertRows = area.Rows.Count
'
'    'Selection Not Within Table?
'      If Not InsideTable And Not RowToBottom Then GoTo InvalidSelection
'
    'Is selected Cell within a table?
  
        InsideTable = IsCellInTable(area.Cells(1, 1))
      
        If InsideTable Then
      
        'Is selected Cell in the header row?
                If Not Intersect(rng.ListObject.HeaderRowRange, area.Cells(1, 1)) Is Nothing Then
                GoTo HeaderSelected
                End If
            End If
      
        'Is selected cell 1 row under a table?
            If area.Cells(1, 1).Row > 1 Then
                RowToBottom = IsCellInTable(area.Cells(1, 1).Offset(-1))
            End If

    'Add Rows To Table
      If InsideTable Then
    
        'Which Row in Table is selected?

            y = .ListObject.DataBodyRange.Row
