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 RepliesI 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.
macro code to clear a spread sheet of all of its content? (The extent of the content can vary.)
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 3 Replies View RelatedI'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.

Been racking brain, searching through the forum here, and my Excel 2003 Bible all day trying to figure out this problem to no avail. I would like to clear the contents of any cell in a given range if the cell immediately to the right of is formatted as bold.

I want the function of clear contents to work based on the value of B4. If I run the code with clear content part excel crushes.
VB:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Range("B4") = "Basic" Then ''*** B4 is adropdown ***''
ActiveSheet.Unprotect
'Range("B10,F10,H10").ClearContents ''*** if I run this part the excel crushes ***'''

I am looking for a way to remove text from a cell if it is 2 characters or less but do nothing if the text is longer than that. Is there a way to do this with either a function or an advanced find?
For more detail, I have a list of middle initials and last names. The cells are either a middle initial by itself like "D." or they are a last name like Jones. I want to go through and delete the cells that have the middle initial and leave the ones with the last name. So if there is a function that will evaluate the cell, and if it is 2 characters or less, then delete the contents. If greater than 3, leave it alone.
I have a range of cell content to be clear (Value only) but no formula in those cell.
The range is populated in cell H106.
Example cell
if cell H106 = D5:E102 then clear the value value only in cell range D5:E102
if cell C106 = G5:H102 then clear the value value only in cell range G5:H102.
I think I've had enough of using excel generated macro's as an excuse for decent code. I need to turn this:
Small procedure, function, what have you that will continue this pattern until I hit some kind of indicator to tell it to stop. This just clears the contents from 7 rows, hops down 9 rows and does it again.
I have a monthy activity where I would like to clear the area B13:P42 on various worksheets in the same spreadsheet. Is there an easier way to do this rather than just recording a macro?
View 5 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!
Macro to clear contents of entire row if any cell in Range A2:A17 is Empty.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to have a macro clear out the contents of a cell before it quits, the cell contains validation data in the form of a list. My goal is to force the user to choose an option every time before exporting a file, the cell contains what will become a part of the filename. I want to make sure the user, usually me, remembers to change it each time rather than accidentally saving over another filename. I had the following code and kept getting a 400 error (nice and specific)
Code:
ActiveSheet.Range("O3").ClearContents
The only way my macro will run without a 400 error is if that line is commented out. Is there any way to clear out the cell and retain the validation data dropdown list?
i have a vba that clears content from specific cells, hence somehow it also deletes the header as well

Is it possible using vba code to clear a specific cell's contents? I have a workbook that has text boxes that need the linked cell cleared when the workbook opens so the user can start fresh with empty text box's.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI've been pressing on with my project and figured out that I really do not know the difference between Deleting and Clear contents. I really thought they were the same but am now unsure. I guess I have 2 questions. Which is better to use? what I'm doing is removing old data and importing new data. and which is more efficient for writing code.
Sheets("Bodies"). Range("A2:Z65000").ClearContents
Sheets("bodies").Range("a2:Z65000").Delete
i have attached a template spreadesheet that 20 people uses everyday. The template works fine but what i would like to do is write a code to clear all the content that manually entered beforeclose. For some reason code is not working properly because when i wrote code to clear the contents the buttons don't work . I also attached the spreadsheet.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'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 change this code to clear the contents of the last column of my "Master sheet". I am having trouble indexing to the last column, however. I found this code online but it looks much more complicated than it needs to be. Is there any way to do this easier/change this code to fit my needs?
Right now, the letter of the column I want to delete pops up in a message box, but I'm not sure where to go from there.

I need some code that will clear the contents of a Row Range(C:T) if either of the contents of cells X and Y = "E"
The code needs to look at cells X17 and Y17 and continue looking until it gets to X216 and Y216
So - If X = E but Y does not, then the row range C:T must be cleared.
If Y = E but X does not, then the row range C:T must be cleared
If both X and Y = E, then the row range C:T must be cleared
If the letter E does not exist in either X or Y, then the row must be left alone
I have a dropdown list in the range E17:E91 containing a list, and two of the values in the list are "DI" and "LTC". What I need to happen is if either of these are selected, the corresponding cell in column F needs to have it's contents cleared. Ex. if in E17 the value is ever either DI or LTC, cell F17 gets contents cleared. if column E contains ANYTHING ELSE, nothing happens. That's all, I've taken care of conditional formatting and data validation already. So even if data is pasted in the worksheet into column E it needs to recognize that and always act in real time.
