Default Clearing content from a cell (or a group) but retain its formula

Works for me.

Same as G5SpecialConstantsOKDelete.

What "contents" do not get cleared?

The cells with formulas may return errors or true or false.

Do you wish to see nothing in the cells with formulas after clearing
contents from precedent cells?

You must trap for that in your formulas.

Post some examples of your formulas.

A cell contains a formula that produces a text when a condition is met (i.e.
produces "Played" if another cell contains a "yes").

How do I clear the content of a cell (or group of cells) that contains a
formula WITHOUT destroying (NOT removing) the formula of the cell?

A previous recommendation was to install the following macro:

Sub ClearAllSaveFormulas()
Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In Selection
With cell
If Not .HasFormula Then
.ClearContents
End If
End With
Next
End Sub

However, if the cell contains a formula, the above macro will not clear the
content of the cell.

In advance, thank you for your time and help
