"CLEAR" Macro
Posted on 2012-12-29
Hello Experts!
I have a spreadsheet, that calculates figures for me on a daily basis. Each day, I end up clearing out specific cells and/or ranges to bring the spreadsheet back to Day 1.
What would be the macro/code I could copy and paste into my spreadsheet (Yes, I know where to paste a macro, I just don't have a clue how to write it) to clear specific cells & ranges.
IE - I am going to add a button to my spreadsheet, that when pressed does the following...
1.) "Clear Contents" of range E:I
2.) "Clear Contents" of range C7:C8
3.) "Clear Contents" of cell C10
Is this possible?
Thank you in advance for your help!

then double click on the inserted command button and write code and it will look like this,
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Sheet1.Select
Columns("E:I").Select

Range("C7:C8").Select
Selection.ClearContents
