Hi, all.
We have a workbook that has mysteriously become "Shared". (Of course, that old PITA Mr. Nobody is responsible for it.) and now I can't remove the protection in order to make corrections.

I've tried the normal:
Tools
Shareworkbook
Uncheck the Allow Changes by more.......

It doesn't work, and I can't figure out what to do next.

Any suggestions on how I can get this thing to where I can unprotect it?

Thanks in advance,

BeckieO

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
SUCCESS!!! Thanks all.
It seems the key is in the sequence:
First:
Tools
Protection
Unprotect and Share Workbook

THEN:
Tool
Share Workbook
Uncheck the Allow Changes by more.....


Thanks again, yall are great
