    Expand table rows in protected sheet

    Hi,

    I am stuck in something I am sure it is easy but cannot get with the solution...

    I have a table that when the sheet is unprotected I can insert easily a row by pressing the "Tab" key when the last cell from the table is selected. But this I cannot do it when the sheet is protected!

    Any ideas? I have attached an example.

    Hope someone can help me on this.

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    AFAIK, this is an annoying part of tables (or List Objects). They don't handle sheet protection very well.
    A way around this is to use macros, and a convenient worksheet command button can facilitate the inserting of rows.

    See the attached sample file...
