Excel Facts

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
It should be := instead of =
Code:
Sheets("sheet1").Unprotect Password:= "protect20"


Sheets("sheet1").Protect Password:="protect20", DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True
