    Hi - The below code will refresh the sheet by unprotecting and then again protecting your file. However, it needs to be called each time you need to run it i.e. this wont refresh the page after each 60 seconds...

    Colleagues with more experience in these areas may be able to provide more accurate solution i believe.

    Thanks
    If solved kindly remember to mark Thread as solved.

    Re: Protect sheet but enables auto refresh

    To use this code follow the below steps:

    Press Alt + F11 while you are on the worksheet. You will see the VBA screen.
    Double click on "This Workbook" which you see on the left hand side of your screen
    Paste the above code on the right hand side
    Press F5 to run the macro.

    Please note as mentioned earlier, this macro will not make the sheet update the forex values dynamically. This will have to be called every time you want to refresh values.
