I need to clear all cells in a column that have a particular value. The value is sometimes a constant like "0" (zero) and sometimes is a value based on a formula. Is there a VBA code that will allow me to select those cells in column matching a particular value and clear them?
View 9 RepliesI would like to run a macro that would check if the date in the first cell of row is in the past.
If yes, then it would clear contents of cell in B,C,F,I,L of the same row (PLAN + SHIFTS). Or even better it would set them to 0 (zero).
Then it would hide the entire row. Is this even possible?
Please see the example: Excel.JPG
I am looking for a code that will clear all of my unlocked cell in sheet 1. That is not a problem but since many of the cells are merged I know it keeps throwing me an error saying cannot change contents of merged cells or something like that. Does anyone know how to get around this without unmerging the cells. I saw a code to unmerge all of the cells on a sheet but I really don't want to do this as I already have worked around most of my problems with the merged cells.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am getting a #VALUE! error in one of my cells. I know it is because my worksheet is missing information to complete the formula. The information will be inputted periodically in the worksheet (lets call it worksheet number one). But, I have the results of cells in worksheet one that are tied to worksheet number two. Worksheet number two is getting the #VALUE! also until worksheet number one is completed (periodically).
But, in worksheet number two, I have an auto sum that adds up the results from worksheet one so I am getting the same #VALUE! error on the auto sum because only a few worksheet from worksheet one are complete. Is there anyway to clear the #VALUE! and get a number in the auto sum even if only a few worksheets from worksheet number one are inputted?
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:

ActiveSheet.Unprotect
'Range("B10,F10,H10").ClearContents ''*** if I run this part the excel crushes ***'''
Range("B10,F10,H10").Locked = True

I have a spreadsheet with a large table of data (values only no formulas). Whoever programmed it, they decided that cells with irrelevant entries should display three dots, i.e. "...". Problem is now need to clear these cells (so they are truly blank) but some of them have been auto-corrected in to ellipses and some have not. I wrote the following code:

This is fine for the three dots that are just three dots, but for the ones that were auto-corrected to ellipses it doesn't work. How do I amend the code so that it clears the cells that are three dots and the ellipses too?
I have a button, and I need a Macro that will cause it to clear all unprotected cells. I think I can figure out how to get it to clear an individual cell, and I suppose I could enter every cell I want cleared individually...but that might take awhile.
Is there a way to set up a Macro that will delete the contents of every unprotected cell? I guess I haven't tried it yet - if I protect the cells, will it not delete those? Also, there is a small image - I don't want that deleted either.
I have a spreadsheet that has merged cells on that is typed into.
I have a Macro that pulls the information into another sheet and then it tries to clear the cells for the next person to fill in. The issue I am having is that i cant clear the merged cell. I have tried the following code

Cells(18, 2) = ""
Range(Cells(18, 2), Cells(26, 11)).ClearContents
Sheets("Coach").Cells(18, 2).ClearContents
I have data in columns a,b,c and d from row 1 to about 200 right now. Every week another 9 rows are added. I wanted to create a macro that will delete the last 9 entries in each column.
The best script to clear all non-blank cells, in my case from Cells(7,1) forward. I currently use this:
.Range(Cells(7, Columns.Count), Cells(Rows.Count, 1)).Value = ""
Will this scipt take a lot of memory to execute? Is there any other method?
if I had text in column A, I would like to clear all the cells to the right and leave the text in column A.

I have a spreadsheet wherein the defined data input cells are formatted using styles, i.e. data input style. I would like to know how to select all cells formatted with that style within a spreadsheet (whether worksheets are visible, hidden or very hidden) and delete the contents of those cells while still keeping the cell style.
View 9 Replies View RelatedAm looking for routine that can be used to delete the contents of cells from multiple, non-contiguous cells throughout a single worksheet. I would like to place a "button" or some form of toggle-switch on the worksheet that will clear all entries at once. I see a thread "Macro Deleting Wrong Cells" that references a VBA sub-routine called "DelCells". I happen to be running Excel 2007 and am still adjusting to the new menu "structure" :-)
View 5 Replies View RelatedGotta question about destroying the contense of a worksheet. If for instance I got a macro which uses a different source everytime I run it, and this macro gives a result in a result worksheet. How can I possibly delete the contense of the result worksheet automatically before the execution starts? What I mean is: without selecting all the cells and pressing delete or either using a for loop to go through all the worksheet cells. Is there any function which clears the contense of a worksheet? (without deleting the worksheet itself)

I get the Subscript Out of Range error window when it hits the first line of code.
I've reviewed this via searching for other posts, but none seem to solve the problem directly.
In Column C, I have a variable range (usually like, C5:C100000) that has data validation in it. However, only about 10% of the cells have a value from that data validation list in them (which is what I want). I'd like to write a macro that only cleared out the cells with no value in them, so that they no longer had any data validation in them. Is this possible?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have several cells on a worksheet which contain data validation and force the user to select from a list, and several other cells with free user input. I want to use a macro to clear all data, and return the cells containing data validation to blank. (I have a blnak row at the top of all my lists, so there is a selection for "blank".)
I have no problem clearing the cells requiring user input, but my recorded macro would not select the cells with validation and return them to blank.
The first cell containing validation that I need to clear is M39. I have my code listed below for clearing the other cells. If I could get a clue on how to return M39 to blank, I could figure out the rest of the cells.
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.

Is there a way using VBA to place a button on the first spreadsheet that will clear all cells that are 'unlocked'?
I'm using a macro to copy the results of a formula and paste the values only on another sheet. The result includes lots of "blank" rows. I have another macro to get rid of the empty rows and move the information up.
It's not working because the "blank" rows aren't empty. Even though I paste values only, experimentation shows that the cells that appear blank return a false to the ISBLANK test with a length of 0.
So now I think I need a macro to run after the pastespecial command to look for cells within a range with a length of zero and delete the contents of those cells, but leave alone anything with a length of >0.
I am brand new to the idea of using VBA, but I have successfully cobbled together some stuff and can usually modify things to work.
It seems I need to maybe use some sort of IF statement along with a LEN and ClearContents. I don't want to delete the blank cells, just make them truly empty so that all of my actual data stays where it should, and my delete empty rows macro works correctly.
I did a search and see some info on clearing contents of columns or rows, or clearing contents based on the content of other columns or rows, but I'm unsure of how to tell it to search each cell within a range and clear the contents of 0-length cells to make them truly empty.
On worksheet open I want to clear the contents of cells A8:P50 if the date/time in cell AB1 is less than todays date and before the time 0400.
So currently AB1 shows
Code:
16/03/2011 07:32:40
so if the workbook was to be opened now nothing would be cleared however if the worksheet is opened before 0400 then A8:P50 of sheet DATA are cleared.
I have created a command button, right clicked the button and selected 'View Code'. In the code window I've entered the following code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
IB_FB_Hedge_3 Outcome.range(W10:X11).ClearContents
End Sub
As soon as I enter the code a message pops up:
"Compile error:
Expected: list separator or )"
Is my syntax wrong? Is the sheet name, 'IB_FB_Hedge_3 Outcome' not allowed?
When I created this code a few minutes before I was not having the 'Compile error' problem, but the Command Button was not working either. When I clicked the command button it would just show the circles at the corners, suggesting that it is still in editing mode and not properly activated as a command button.
VBA script I can run on a worksheet that will clear certain cells when I input a fresh value into a separate cell please? For example: By entering a new value into A1, cells B1 and C1:C3 are automatically reset to empty.
