I have a code in a sheet that refreshes a pivot table, but I have the sheet password protected. What do I put in the code to unlock the sheet with the password, refresh the data, and re-lock the sheet using that same passowrd? Thanks in advance.

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
Try

Code:
Sheets("Sheet1").Unprotect password:="abc"
'
'code goes here
'
Sheets("Sheet1").Protect password:="abc"
