No clear will not work because I need for the next data in the column to be
shifted over to the lift so there will not be any columns with empty cells.
I dont want any gaps in my table.

Instead of clearing contents I used the current code but just inserted code
at the end to redifne my range names. Below is what I did. I dont know if
there is an easier way to perform this.

ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="area1", RefersToR1C1:="='Team
Data'!R5C1:R100C1"
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="area2", RefersToR1C1:="='Team
Data'!R5C2:R100C2"
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="area3", RefersToR1C1:="='Team
Data'!R5C3:R100C3"
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="area4", RefersToR1C1:="='Team
Data'!R5C4:R100C4"
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="area5", RefersToR1C1:="='Team
Data'!R5C5:R100C5"
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="area6", RefersToR1C1:="='Team
Data'!R5C6:R100C6"
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="area7", RefersToR1C1:="='Team
Data'!R5C7:R100C7"
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="area8", RefersToR1C1:="='Team
Data'!R5C8:R100C8"
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="area9", RefersToR1C1:="='Team
Data'!R5C9:R100C9"
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="area10", RefersToR1C1:="='Team
Data'!R5C10:R100C10"
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="area11", RefersToR1C1:="='Team

ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="area12", RefersToR1C1:="='Team

ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="area13", RefersToR1C1:="='Team

ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="area14", RefersToR1C1:="='Team

ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="area15", RefersToR1C1:="='Team

ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="area16", RefersToR1C1:="='Team

Well, if you delete part of a named range, it is certainly going to get
deleted or altered!

Can you use ClearContents rather than Delete?

Hey guys

This code deletes cells but it also deletes named ranges.
Is there anyway to protect my ranges where this does not
happen?


Dim found As Range
If CheckBox4.Value Then
Set found = Worksheets(1).Range("A4:Z4").Find(
_
What:=ComboBox1.Value, _
After:=Worksheets(1).Range("Z4"), _
LookIn:=xlValues, _
LookAt:=xlWhole, _
MatchCase:=False)
If Not found Is Nothing Then _
found.Resize(97, 1).Delete Shift:=xlToLeft
End If
