what is described in the post clear "contents of rows based on cell contents in column" clear contents of rows based on cell contents in column
What is different is that for rows that I wish to leave untouched, I have in column A the text "Active". If that text is not present (""), then I need to clear contents for only certain cells in each row because others have formulas. For example, if A32 does not say "Active" I want to clear contents of cells D:32, G:32, etc while leaving the others in row 32 in tact. I need this to loop through about 400 rows. If it would make the macro easier, I can have the data in column "A" say "Inactive"/"Active" instead of blank/"Active"
I have the following code for about 20 sheets
Sheets("Multi CT 43").Select
Cells.ClearContents
Range("A1").Select
Sheets("Multi CT 61").Select
Cells.ClearContents
Range("A1").Select
Sheets("Multi CT 80").Select
Cells.ClearContents
Range("A1").Select
i'm sure there is a more simple way of doing this but I can't find a way that works.
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.

This code works fine, but was wondering if a faster way to do this existed.
I am trying to clear check boxes and list boxes on multiple worksheets within a workbook. Below is what I have,but doesn't work. Note: the "bottom " code does work to clear selected cells of their data. I tried to create a macro for the list boxes selecting "----" which I have as the last entry in the vlookup table but was totally unsuccessful at.

I've got several worksheets that all have the exact same layout that a user will enter unique information in to each worksheet. Then I've got a final worksheet that I want to have a button that the user can click and when they do, it will look to each worksheet and do the exact same process for each worksheet as follows:
It first looks to see if the worksheet is visible. If it is, I want it to copy the range A5 to K5 down until it gets to the last non-blank cell in column C. The first non blank cell that will be referenced will be C7. Then I want it to paste this information into the range A5:K5 on the final sheet named Sheet8 with the same values and keep cell formatting such as width and height, font. If the worksheet is not visible, it skips the sheet.
I want it to do this for each visible worksheet, placing the next visible worksheet info under the previous visible worksheet info. My current code as shown doesn't do that. It requires that something be inSheet8 A6 before it will even paste, then it pastes the info from A5:K5 but it doesn't do just the values nor does it keep the formatting. What I mean about not doing just the values is some of the info that needs to be copied comes from a drop down they can choose from and it copies the actual drop down menu. Also, it seems to copy all of the ranges from each sheet and paste it into just A5:K5 on Sheet8 and overwrites each other instead of pasting Sheet2 just below the information from Sheet1. So the only information shown after the entire process is completed is the information from the last visible sheet.
If Worksheets("Sheet1").Visible = True Then
Sheets("Sheet1").Range(Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A5:K5"),
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("C7").End(xlDown)).Copy
Sheets("Sheet8").Range("A5").End(xlDown)
End If

I inherited a spreadsheet that had an userform where the user checked off which 'pages' he wanted to print. The Ok button routine used if statements to run a routine for each 'page.' Here's an example of the original code for one page:
Sub Button2_Click()
Sheet7.Activate
Run "HorizontalPrintStuff" 'generic landscape pagesetup
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup 'specific pageset settings
.RightFooter = " Construction Assumptions"
.PrintArea = "CONSTRUCTION" 'the named range to print
.Zoom = False
.FitToPagesTall = 1
.FitToPagesWide = 1 'this changes depending upon the page selected
End With
ActiveSheet.PrintOut
End Sub
The problem was it printed each page as a separate print job; and if you print to adobe, you get serveral files, not one file. That and it took a long time to run.
So I tried a different tack. If the checkboxes has true, then the printarea is set to that named range. If there were more than one named range on a sheet to be printed, I consolidated them. I did this with a bunch of if statements - very cumbersome.
Sheet3.Activate
'Sheet3.ResetAllPageBreaks 'disabled due to errors
Run "HorizontalPrintStuff" 'generic landscape pagesetup
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup 'specific pageset settings
.PrintArea = "DEVBGTALL" 'the named range to print
.FitToPagesWide = 4 'this changes depending upon the
.FitToPagesTall = 1
End With
I haven't shown all the code cause it goes on for 12 sheets containing 16 different printareas.
My current muck ups are .....
1) it prints every printarea/named range on a given sheet (I took out all the if statements trying to debug everything.) Is there another conditional argument that allows for multiple 'trues'?
2) the pagebreaks in printarea/named ranges that are multiple pages (like a 48 month schedule) won't stay set. I've tried both VPageBreaks(3).Location:= and .VPageBreaks.Add Before:=
3) the Sheet1.select false argument is always adding a random sheet to the end of the print job. Don't know why.
I can do all this in a recorded macro, just not the selection userform. I've thought about copying to another sheet or hiding columns and rows then printing, but that seems just as cumbersome.
To recap, i want to print out, as one print job, multiple printareas from mulitple sheets, based upon checkbox selection on an userform.
I need to be able to track changes on selected ranges on multiple sheets, but Excel does not appear to be able to do this. It only appears to allow me to select multiple ranges on the same sheet.
is there a way to track changes on multiple selected ranges on multiple sheets
Sub DynaSort()
Dim wsSheet As Worksheet
iRow = ActiveSheet.Columns("A").End(xlDown).Row
For Each wsSheet In Worksheets

("H2:H" & iRow), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, order:=xlDescending, DataOption:= _ ...................
The problem that I has is that I cannot put focus on a cell after the sort. Xl keeps the columns selected and then when I'm trying to put in the next data Excel selects all the rows in Sheet1 also. I know how to get rid of it and continue, the users on the other hand are not that experienced with excel. fun thing, even thou the, Range.value is inside the IF it putt "pucko" in sheet1. I have a code that copies the data and then put some several functions in each sheet, after that I call the sort routine.
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Intersect(ActiveCell, Sheet8.Range("C16:Y1000")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub

rw = 16

As you can see, my code is located in the sheet8 worksheet object. Now, I have a few questions about this. Because I am located in the sheet8 worksheet object does that mean my code can only work in sheet8, i.e., the following won't work because I am in a Sheet8 worksheet object?
Sheet10.Range("B12) = ..... ....... .....
This is not returning a value in Sheet10? My question is how do I make my code return a value in Sheet10?
Is it possible to form a single Range object from ranges on multiple sheets. So for example, would it be possible to set a Range object equal to cells A1:D146 from Sheet 1 and A1:B49 from Sheet 2 and if so, what would be the syntax? For the first I have:
Sheets("SelectData").Range("A1:D146").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
but I wouldn't know how to proceed from there.
I am trying to write what I thought would be a simple macro to print out specific areas of my worksheets. I have shown the code below; the line causing the problem I have highlighted in RED. I am getting the following error message: "Select method of range class failed".
Reading other posts here. I think this may have something to do with the macro being assigned to a command button in one worksheet (AY114) and I am trying to get the macro to run on both the worksheet that the command button is in (AY114) as well as another worksheet (AY062).
Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Range("J2").Select
Sheets("AY114").Select
Range("A4:J53").Select
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "$A$4:$J$53"
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, Collate:=True

I'm using Excel 2010 and would like to know if it's possible to convert selected ranges in multiple sheets into one PDF file? For example, I want to select range("A1:O10) in Sheet1 and range("A1:N25") in Sheet2, then convert both Excel sheets into PDF file with two pages.

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
This is my code:
Dim LastRow As Long
Sheets("All").Select
LastRow = Range("J" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Range("A2:J" & LastRow).ClearContents
Sheets("All").Select
LastRow = Range("AO" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Range("AI2:AO" & LastRow).ClearContents
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.

This is a worksheet to test multiplication tables. I am trying to create a macro button to clear the contents of column F, for the kids to start again?
I 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.
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.
