good day
I would like to ask to to protect my sheet

I have tried to put ActiveSheet.protect ("1") but unfortunately, im getting a popup message ( the cell or chart you're trying to change is a protected sheet. To make a change unprotect the sheet. You might be requested to enter a password.)

thank you.


Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim Result, Test As Range
Set Result = Range("N5")
ActiveSheet.Unprotect ("1")
Select Case Result
Case Is = "Reagent & Ortho Cards File": Rows("12:100").EntireRow.Hidden = True

Rows("7:11").EntireRow.Hidden = False
ActiveSheet.Protect ("1")

Case Is = "Validation File": Rows("7:11").EntireRow.Hidden = True

Rows("18:100").EntireRow.Hidden = True
Rows("12:17").EntireRow.Hidden = False

ActiveSheet.Protect ("1")
Case Is = "Antibody Workup & Transfusion Reaction Database": Rows("7:17").EntireRow.Hidden = True

Rows("24:100").EntireRow.Hidden = True
Rows("18:23").EntireRow.Hidden = False
ActiveSheet.Protect ("1")


Case Is = "QC Files": Rows("7:23").EntireRow.Hidden = True

Rows("29:100").EntireRow.Hidden = True
Rows("24:28").EntireRow.Hidden = False
ActiveSheet.Protect ("1")



Case Is = "Received Blood Components": Rows("7:29").EntireRow.Hidden = True

Rows("35:100").EntireRow.Hidden = True
Rows("30:34").EntireRow.Hidden = False
ActiveSheet.Protect ("1")


Case Is = "Equipment Calibration File": Rows("7:35").EntireRow.Hidden = True

Rows("48:100").EntireRow.Hidden = True
Rows("36:47").EntireRow.Hidden = False

ActiveSheet.Protect ("1")

Case Is = "COMARK File": Rows("7:48").EntireRow.Hidden = True

Rows("54:100").EntireRow.Hidden = True
Rows("49:53").EntireRow.Hidden = False


Case Is = "CAP Inspection File": Rows("7:54").EntireRow.Hidden = True

Rows("60:100").EntireRow.Hidden = True
Rows("55:59").EntireRow.Hidden = False
ActiveSheet.Protect ("1")


Case Is = "BB Soft Copy Files": Rows("7:60").EntireRow.Hidden = True

Rows("71:100").EntireRow.Hidden = True
Rows("61:70").EntireRow.Hidden = False

ActiveSheet.Protect ("1")

Case Is = "KPI Files": Rows("7:71").EntireRow.Hidden = True

Rows("75:100").EntireRow.Hidden = True
Rows("72:74").EntireRow.Hidden = False
ActiveSheet.Protect ("1")


Case Is = "Temperatuer Files": Rows("7:75").EntireRow.Hidden = True

Rows("80:100").EntireRow.Hidden = True
Rows("76:79").EntireRow.Hidden = False

ActiveSheet.Protect ("1")

Excel Facts

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple

I am not sure why you are getting this error. What line of code raises the error?

Just unprotect the sheet once at the beginning, and protect it at the end.

Because you are in the module for the sheet, omit ActiveSheet.

It hampers readability to put a ":" to add a new statement on the same line of a Case option when there are more lines following it.

You are declaring Result as Variant (allowing it to default) but you are using it as Range. Better to declare it as Range.

You are declaring but not using Test.

When posting code, your code will be more readable if you mark it with code tags.

Here is a cleaned up version, but I'm still not sure why you are getting the error.
VBA Code: 
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

   Dim Result As Range
   Set Result = Range("N5")
  
   Unprotect "1"
  
   Select Case Result

      Case Is = "Antibody Workup & Transfusion Reaction Database"

I asked which line of code is causing the error, and you haven't answered that.

Also, although the board does not require code tags, I can't wade through code that is pasted in without formatting.

Is your sheet unprotecting when you do it manually with 1 as the password?
and we still need to know what line of the code is causing the error
