    Filtering and sorting on protected sheet

    Hi,

    I have a data set and I have protected first 2 rows of the sheet for adding some logos there.

    I have protected it with the following recorded macro

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    It does allow sorting but why the AutoFilter button is disabled. How user can filter the records?

    Help would be greatly appreciated

    Best Regards
    Imran Bhatti

    You need to have the Autofilter active before you protect the sheet.
    Cheers!
