View 3 RepliesIf I have a pick list, or drop-down list, in cell B21 and one of the options in that list is "Clear", how can I get the contents of cell C21 to be cleared when I select the "Clear" option in B21?
Constraint... Don't want to use VBA.
I am thinking of hiding a formula somewhere other than in C21 that evaluates B21 and does an If Then kind of deal to clear C21.
I'm playing along with Excel. I discovered it doesn't like cutting and pasting in VBA. This screws up formulas in cells.
It much prefers copying and pasting. So this involves an extra step, going back to the cells you just copied and clearing them.
So I have a selection of cells and I just copied them to a different location. Naturally the location I just copied it to then becomes selected.
I would like to go back to the cells that have the dotted selection around them and clear them. If I simply use Selection.ClearContents it will clear the currently selected cells, NOT the dotted selection.
Command to clear the contents of the dotted selection?
I am trying to find something that would allow me to have a spreadsheet clear the contents of a certain cell based on the selection made from a data validation list which resides on the same row. This can best be described with an example.
The user selects anything but " " or "none" from the validation list, which for this example resides in C5, would trigger code to clear the contents, if any, in AA5. If " " or "none" is chosen the value remains.
This capability should be available for each row through 100.
I'm trying to create macro that will clear the contents of the cells in the 4 columns to the left of a cell that = 0 %, as well as the cell that = 0%. For example, if cell F13 = 0 % then the contents of B13:F13 would need to be cleared. The range in which data is being pasted into is B13:F27.

I'm trying to figure out code to have only the contents of cell 'a2' cleared when the contents of cell 'a1' is changed. The issue is that both cells are derived from lists and I don't want the formats cleared.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI need code for a macro that will find a min value in a particular column and based on that min value clear the contents of other cells for that min value.
For example, I have dates in column E such as:
200907
200906
200902
200809
200803
200710
200707
Therefore, I need to find all records for 200707 and clear the contents in other cells.
I can't hardcode the min date because that can change from month to month when new files are created. As can the number of rows.
I'm using Excel 2007.
I have a protected worksheet in which certain calculations are performed based on certain inputs.
For example, let's take Column E:
Starting in cell E4, I have cells in that column which are input cells and further down the column are calculated cells which are locked and whose formulas are hidden.
I was looking for a macro which would go down col E and clear contents of all unlocked cells without messing up any of the protected cells.
Also, there are certain cells in which I want to clear contents and some cells that I want the macro to insert a "0" value.
The input cells are non-contigous.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook that I re-use on a weekly basis. The header information must stay intact (Rows 1 and 2). I recorded a macro that would clear all tabs in the workbook, and that macro is:
Code:
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Rows("3:1865").Select
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp
Range("A3").Select
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
Rows("3:1865").Select
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp
Range("A3").Select
Which made me curious if there was a VBA code to say "Clear Worksheet" as opposed to having to explicitly list the cells that need to be cleared?
I am trying to get a macro that will insert a line above whatever line the text "INSERTXYZ" is in. I'm getting that fine but I also want to clear the contents of cells "A:S" on whatever the new row number is.
Can anyone modify this piece to accomplish that? If you need to tear it completely down, I'm interested in simpler way as well.
Cells.Find(What:="INSERTXYZ", After:=ActiveCell).Select
ActiveCell.EntireRow.Select
Selection.EntireRow.Copy
Selection.EntireRow.Insert Shift:=xlDown
Selection.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
Application.CutCopyMode = False
ActiveCell.Select
Selection.Range("A:S").ClearContents
Im looking to ensure the sheet contents are clear before continuing with the macro routine. At the moment however, the macro runs I see the data flash up and then off. So it appears the data is being cleared as soon as it loads. Current code is:
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have the following code where I want to clear the cells.
Code:
Workbooks(strOutputFileName).Sheets(2).Activate
Range("F9:F25,C27:E57,F59:F60,J9:J25,G27:I57,J59:J60,N9:N25,K27:M57,N59:N60,R9:R25,O27:Q57,R59:R60").Select
Selection.ClearContents
When I run this code, where it should select G27:I57, it instead selects G27:N57!!!!
When I manually try to select the G27:I57, the selection jumps to the right to N57.
When I use this piece of code on a different worksheet, it works OK!

I've tried modifying some existing code (excluding the Y column range of 5000) but keep getting a "Compile error: Wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignments". How do I set the 5000 limit and get this code back on track?

Is is possible to clear the contents of a cell range if a message box appears stating an error. I have tried the following code but the logic doesn't actually work and am struggling to achieve what I am trying to do.
My code so far is as follows:
Code:
If ActiveSheet.Range("F84") > 0 And ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("PES").Range("D24") = 0 Then _
MsgBox "Your Entitlement is currently 0", vbCritical, "Error"
ActiveSheet.Range("K84:T84").ClearContents
The message box appears fine if the IF statement is true but if IF statement is false, the cell range of K84 to T84 on the current sheet is still cleared..

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am relatively new to VBA. I am creating an attendance calendar that tracks employees calling sick, late etc.. It is a point based system. What I am looking for is, a way to clear the point value that was manually entered in a specific cell (I3), if there is a Value manually entered in (CU3). Each column in my worksheet is for a specific date ie; I3 is the cell where I enter the points (1.00) for that employee by calling in sick on 3/1/2013, (Column "I" is for 3/1/2013). After 90 days, this point accumulated by the employee does not count against them, so I need that point entered in (I3) to either = 0 or the cell contents to be cleared if there is a value entered in cell (CU3) which is 91 days after, so my (A3) cell does not add that point acquired on 3/1/2013.
I need this to run in a range (I3:I450) so if any value is entered into (CU3:CU450) it has the same result and continue to for (J3:J450) so if any value is entered into (CV3:CV450) and so on..
I am a financial administrator & every month I have down load 4 bank accts as CSV, import into xl & code (CACode) the amounts for our accountant. I have VBA that formats, adds headings & formula etc but I have a problem/s. In H col I place CAcode & I use a sumif formula in I col to sum all the amounts with that have the same CAcode. For simplicity sake I copy the sumif down & then sort H col ascendindingly (this is done by VBA). Now I am trying write a macro to clear the contents of the cell in I col

then I60 clearContents, Select h59
Else select H59
Do until H3 is selected
