yes, maybe I am being confusing.

I think of a named cell as you can give a cell a specific name. such as C5.
and that is MySpecialC5. or something like that. where you can do a
Range("MySpecialC5")

So I have a row of text and cells that have been "named".
the Rows(CStr("5:5")).ClearContents
can remove the text in row 5. but the named cells are still there.
is there a way to remove both text and the named cells?
thanks for all the help

I think I am confused at what you want. Excel has a feature whereby you can
give a range (one or more cells) a Name and then use that name to refer to
the range rather than using the range's address. When I just asked you
about removing "named cells", you responded with this example...


which isn't using a named range at all. That leads me to think you are
using the term "named cell" for something other than Excel's named ranges
(remember, that range can be a single cell which would make it a named
cell). Is that the case? If so, can you explain what you mean when you say
"named cell"... exactly what are you referring to when you say that?

just one row.
so
Rows(CStr("5:5")).ClearContents

Remove "all" the named cells on a single worksheet (the one whose row
you cleared) or throughout your entire workbook?

Hello,
Thanks for the help.

Yes, clear the data and named cell.
I really don't want to delete the row. But clear the data. and also
remove all the named cells.

hi
you may be right. but from his title "clear data AND Named cell", i
assumed
that was what it wanted. he is already clearing the data. and i did
ask. is
that the name? question not clearly stated

If you are right and iCurrentMergeStart is the name given to a named
range,
then I would think (based on how the OP phrased his message) that he
would
be looking for this...

Range("iCurrentMergeStart").ClearContents

or, if iCurrentMergeStart is a variable containing the name, then
this...

Range(iCurrentMergeStart).ClearContents

rather than a method to physically delete the name from the Names
collection. But then again, you might be right as the question was
not very
clearly stated to me.

I know this code below will clear the text in a row.
But it will not clear out the named cells.
Is there a way to clear both?


Rows(CStr(iCurrentMergeStart & ":" &
iCurrentMergeStart)).ClearContents
