I get the following error
cannot clear part of a merged cell.
I only had 1 merged cell that was shaded and even after removing the merge
and the shade I still get the same error.
Can anyone tell me if there is a way around this.

Thank you for the quick response.
I was looking to only clear the data not the shade as the shaded areas
show
the user where the data goes.

Or just get the entire range at once:

ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone

or even do all the cells:
activesheet.cells.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone

Is there a way to clear all shaded cells in a worksheet using a
macro?

I have received a lot of help from this news group.
Thank you very much.
