im trying to run the code below to activate a macro depending on the
selction made in the dropdown in cell b5

if i take the protection off manually it works fine, however if the protection is on as required
it fails to unprotect it and throws up the protected message


any help appreciated

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Sheets("DASHBOARD").Select
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="CORLEONE"



If Target.Address(False, False) = "B5" Then


Select Case Target.Value
Case "SHIFT 01": Call SHIFT01
Case "SHIFT 02": Call SHIFT02
Case "SHIFT 03": Call SHIFT03
Case "SHIFT 04": Call SHIFT04
Case "SHIFT 05": Call SHIFT05

Sheets("DASHBOARD").Select
ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="CORLEONE"


End Select

End If
End Sub

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
