Introduction

This tutorial provides a step-by-step guide on how to insert rows into protected Excel tables, overcoming the common bug that arises when a worksheet is password-protected. This technique is particularly useful for users who frequently work with Excel tables but need to maintain the security of their data.

Step 1: Understand the Bug with Excel Tables

• When you protect an Excel worksheet with a password, the functionality of the table object is limited.
• Users often find that they cannot add or modify rows in a protected table, which can be frustrating.
• This tutorial will show you how to "bypass" this limitation safely.

Step 2: Unprotect the Worksheet Temporarily

• Before making changes to the table, you need to unprotect the worksheet.
• Go to the "Review" tab in the Excel ribbon.
• Click on "Unprotect Sheet."
• Enter the password when prompted.

Step 3: Add Rows to the Table

• Once the sheet is unprotected, you can easily add rows to your table.
• Click on the last row of the table.
• Press the "Tab" key to add a new row, or right-click and select "Insert" to add a new row above.
• Fill in the necessary data in the new row.

Step 4: Protect the Worksheet Again

• After you’ve added the required rows, it’s important to reapply the protection.
• Return to the "Review" tab.
• Click on "Protect Sheet."
• Enter the same password you used to unprotect it.
• Make sure to select the appropriate options to allow specific actions like selecting locked or unlocked cells if needed.

Step 5: Verify the Functionality

• Once the sheet is protected again, check if the table functions as expected.
• Attempt to add another row to ensure that the table remains functional after reapplying protection.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, you learned how to insert rows into a protected Excel table by temporarily unprotecting the worksheet.
