    excel tables with dropdowns not updating on protected sheet

    Screen Shot 2014-12-22 at 7.43.33 AM.png

    the first list in each color is a dropdown box, and the whole box of three is another table name. however the table data isnt updating on the sheet when its protected, i have to unprotect the sheet, retype the info and press enter for it to add it to the table and subsequently the dropdown list. is there anyway to fix this via VBA? thanks guys!

    Re: excel tables with dropdowns not updating on protected sheet

    Please upload a sample of your workbook, not a picture of your data. Pictures are pretty much impossible to edit, and no-one wants to re-type your data for you
    Also, not all members can upload picture files (Company firewalls and stuff)

    Your workbook should show a small desensitized example of the data you are working with and a manual mockup of the expected results.
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Sorry, attached is the template! I think I have this in the wrong forum too, my initial thought was use a pivot table but this is just a normal table, sorry!
