Default clear data and named cell

just in the specified row.

So for instance all the text and named cells in row 5.

Okay, you are using named cells the same way I am, so that is good. Now,
to repeat my question about the named cells... do you want to delete only
the named cells on the worksheet that you are on, or do you want to remove
every named cell in the workbook (no matter what worksheet they are on)?

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.

hi
is iCurrentMergeStart the name? if so then....
ActiveWorkbook.Names("iCurrentMergeStart").Delete

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
