The only exception is cell sizing, which remains.
The VBA Clear method resets your cells to the “fundamental form” you see when you first open a new workbook.
If we had any data validation rules, such as no Check Out Times before 9am, these too would be removed. All text and cell formatting preferences, like bold, font size, and shading are cleared. The cell borders and fill colors have vanished. If someone enters a date in the usual format, such as, they won’t see the commas or day of the week. Return times past 5:30pm are no longer conditionally highlighted, nor are members conditionally marked in green. Clear method has removed all of our formatting in the cleared ranges: This will preserve your formulas in the Time Out column (the 5th column). Sub clear_customer_table () Range ( Cells ( 4, 1 ), Cells ( 10000, 4 )). In our case, you’d need at least two selections to avoid removing the Time Out column.įor that reason, you might want to simply implement a button to clear everything with this code: Moreover, if you just select and press Del, you’ll lose formulas. But what if you have hundreds of visitors? You probably won’t want to scroll down to find the bottom then highlight the whole table and delete it. With a few visitors it would be trivial to select the table with your mouse and reset it. Or if you are very ambitious, maybe you set up a spiffy customer-facing page complete with appealing graphics and receive data in a userform, then look at the results once a week. Perhaps you trust your visitors to fill in the correct information, and you simply look at the table every weekend. We might even consider adding data validation for the Check Out Time so users can’t enter invalid times, like before the community center opens. Moreover, we’ve used date formatting for the Date column, which can automatically infer the day of the week for us. Here, we have formulas in the Time Out column and the More Members cell, plus conditional formatting for the Member, Return Time, and Time Out columns.
Let’s say you have a table of information for a community center that looks like this: The VBA Clear method is associated with a Range object in Excel. Clear Contents while Retaining Formulas.Their names imply similarity, and they do both clear information from cells. In our case, we’ll look at the difference between VBA ClearContents and the VBA Clear methods as part of a Range in Excel. This is often how similar built-in functions arise. In this scenario, you end up with Sub A and Sub B, which you can access independently. You’ll likely encounter proccesses you want to automate that have slight differences, and to simplify both as much as possible, you’ll build two separate functions or subs.įor example, you might notice that Process A is better when Variable X is required, while Process B is better when Variable X is optional. The longer you’ve been programming, the more tasks you’ll automate.
