Grouping on protected worksheets
I want to protect the cells in my worksheet, but when I do I am no longer
able to collapse or expand grouped items (rows/columns). Any ideas on how to protect my formulas but not disable grouping functionality? |

Grouping on protected worksheets
If you already have the outline/subtotals/autofilter applied, you can protect
the worksheet in code (auto_open/workbook_open??). Option Explicit Sub auto_open() With Worksheets("sheet1") .Protect Password:="hi", userinterfaceonly:=True .EnableOutlining = True '.EnableAutoFilter = True 'If .FilterMode Then ' .ShowAllData 'End If End With End Sub It needs to be reset each time you open the workbook. (Earlier versions of excel don't remember it after closing the workbook. IIRC, xl2002+ will remember the allow autofilter setting under tools|Protection|protect sheet, but that won't help when you're filtering via code.) wnwilkerson wrote: I want to protect the cells in my worksheet, but when I do I am no longer able to collapse or expand grouped items (rows/columns).

Grouping on protected worksheets
Thank you. I'm using 2007 and the worksheet will be viewed by several other
parties regularly. If I understand your note below, this wouldn't be a relistic solution under my scenario.

I think you should try it.
