Excel Data Filtering & Protection Fix Open

I have an Excel sheet with lots of data. I need to be able to have that sheet protected when being worked on, and at the same time, be able to filter the data (with the filters in the columns of the table), but when I try, I get the error saying it is protected (although I allow for Autofilter when protecting). Specifically, I need: - Protection and filtering capabilities on just one sheet of the workbook - Anyone with the file to have access to the filters, but the sheet remains protected from editing (the protected cells) Skills: - Expertise in Microsoft Excel, particularly in workbook protection and data filtering - Familiarity with Microsoft Home and Business 2021 Please note: The goal is to allow anyone with the file to filter the data and edit only the unprotected cells.
