- NikolinoDEMay 25, 2023Gold ContributorI am glad that I could help you with your project.
I wish you continued success with Excel!- BkkendigMay 30, 2023Copper ContributorMy next challenge is to remove protection from a password protected worksheet, apply changes, then re-apply password protection. Would you know the script that disables password/ unprotect, then later in same script, enable password/protects??
