Trying to use a refresh button for a pivot table, but I need to protect the worksheet. Currently, when I protect the worksheet, the button comes back as a run-time error 1004. The button works fine when the sheet is unprotected.

    If you have a password, you'll need to add it.

    I do have VBA code in it

    Sub Button5_Click()

        ActiveSheet.PivotTables(2).PivotCache.Refresh

    End Sub

    what would I need to add to it? Thanks!

    Do you have VBA code in the button? You'll need to add to it to unprotect the sheet, then refresh and then protect it afterwards.
