Hi all, I have a protected sheet with a bunch of columns, and I wanted to allow the user to be able to filter only one of these columns (they can filter their name). Is there any way to do this?
 

Excel Facts

Quick Sum
Select a range of cells. The total appears in bottom right of Excel screen. Right-click total to add Max, Min, Count, Average.
It appears if you have filter handles on a group of columns a user will be able to filter any column even if the cells of these columns are locked and the sheet is protected to prevent selecting locked cells.

You could try to simply place the filter handle on just the name column and then protect the sheet allowing the use of auto-filter. This would achieve the same result.
