I don't know....six of one, half dozen of the other!

SUM saves you 2 keystrokes and you could eliminate the =0 to save 2 more!

Before Harlan jumps in and being more picky than even the OP, would it not
be better to use:

=IF(COUNT(.....)=0,"",SUM(.....))

I know that it is a Sales Order Template but I suppose that it is always
possible that if there was a cancelled order, the credit note is entered
as a negative.

Is the Total cell one of the cells cleared in your macro?

If so, why clear (delete) the formula? Just write the formula like this:

=IF(SUM(.....)=0,"",SUM(.....))

And remove that cell reference from your macro.

Also, you can simplify the macro to:

Sub NewSalesOrder()
Range("B2,B4:B13,E14").ClearContents
End Sub

I am using a Custom Sales Order Template. I use a macro to clear contents
(from previous sales order). I use SUM formula in the TOTAL cell and
wonder
if I can have the TOTAL cell show as empty (but leave formula intact)
after
macro clears contents. I am being picky here, I know.

Here is Macro:

Sub NewSalesOrder()
'
' NewSalesOrder Macro
' Clears Sales Order for new data entry
'
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+b
'
Range("B2").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("B4:B13").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("E14").Select
Selection.ClearContents
End Sub
