Formula not working when Worksheet is Protected

  • Hello everyone,

    I have an excel file that have multiple formulas. When new rows are added, the formula works fine and will show.



    However, when I locked the highlighted columns in yellow with password, the formula doesn't work anymore as per below.

    Are there any additional formatting or setting that I missed out in sheet/cells protection?

    I have attached the excel file there. The password is 123.

    Thanks!

  • The problem is that you are using a Table. Tables cannot automatically expand to include new rows when a worksheet is protected, and that is why your formula isn't filled down automatically.
