Not that I am knocking Jim's code because (with the change Roger suggested)
it should work fine; but I was wondering, did you even try my posted code?
Just so you know, it works too.

Hello,

Thank you for you reply. This almost does the trick for me. I need to
have
all the columns in the row (to be cleared) at least up to column Q to be
cleared. So far, the program you provided only clears columns D and E.
If
you could revise the program to reflect this change, I would sincerly
appreciate it. Thank you so much for providing this. I have put many
hours
into it already and should have turned to the forum much earlier.

P.S. Is there a fast and efficient way to learn VBA for Excel?

Try this...

Dim rngArea As Range

On Error Resume Next
Set rngAll = Range("D:D").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)
If Not rngAll Is Nothing Then
For Each rngArea In rngAll.Areas
If rngArea.Cells.Count 1 Then
Range(rngArea.Cells(1), _
rngArea.Cells(rngArea.Count - 1).Offset(0, 1)).ClearContents
End If
Next rngArea
End If
End Sub

Hello,

I am completely new to Excel VBA and I have a task that can only be
done
using it. I need to format a group of orders to upload them.
Essentially I
start with:

78693624286 1 9.71 2793888 ....
02761688770 1 2.99 2793888 ...

02454352960 1 8.45 2792280 ...
02454352959 1 8.45 2792280 ...

78693675842 1 8.65 2791190 ...
02454305295 1 21.86 2791190 ...
78693614475 1 7.25 2791190 ...
04339614171 1 9.77 2791190 ...

08536513892 1 3.99 2791055 ..


What I want to end up with is:

78678693286 1 9.71
02761688770 1 2.99 2793888 ...

02454352960 1 8.45

08536513892 1 3.99 2791055 ...


The orders are separated by an empty row (which is already done for me)
according to the order numbers in the D column (numbers starting with
279...). Each order may have 1 or more items designated by the item
number
in the first column. As you can see, the first three orders (groups)
have
more than one item in the order. These are what have been causing an
issue
for me. I need to clear the information from the D column onwards
(including
D) on the item lines (rows) which are part of the same order EXCEPT for
the
last line in the order as shown above. I would sincerely appreciate
any
help.
