would it be possible to have a small macro for clearing cells only if a
certain critera is met? ie (if l37 blank, do nothing. if I37 has text, clear
i36,j36,h36 and so on?

thanks

Try the below

Sub test5()
If WorksheetFunction.IsText(Range("I37")) Then _
Range("H36:J36").ClearContents
End Sub

Difficult to say why you get errors after inserting.

Post your current macro so's we can see where to insert Jacob's code.

I37 could have anything in it. I.E text or numbers or time, would this make a
difference?

You can stick the two lines just about anywhere you wish.

Give this a try.

Sub Macro15()

Range("C5:D5") = Date
Range("E7:E15") = Range("H7:H15").Value
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Range("F7:G15,M9:M19,B52:M57,B44:I48").ClearConten ts

If WorksheetFunction.IsText(Range("I37")) Then _
Range("H36:J36").ClearContents

Range("R47").Copy
Range("L47:M47").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll, Operation:=xlSubtract, _
SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Range("R51").Copy
Range("L51:M51").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll, Operation:=xlAdd, _
SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Application.CutCopyMode = False
With Range("C5:D5,L47:M47,L51:M51").Interior
.ColorIndex = 6
.Pattern = xlSolid
End With
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=3

End Sub

Yes it would make a difference since Jacob's code looks for Text only.

Use this instead.

If Range("I37") < "" Then _
Range("H36:J36").ClearContents

I don't know why you're getting an error.

All I added was the code for I37

Here is revised code per your request to clear H36:J36 if I37 contains
anything.

Works for me in 2003 and 2007 versions.

Sub Macro15()

Range("C5:D5") = Date
Range("E7:E15") = Range("H7:H15").Value
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Range("F7:G15,M9:M19,B52:M57,B44:I48").ClearConten ts

If Range("I37") < "" Then _
Range("H36:J36").ClearContents

Range("R47").Copy
Range("L47:M47").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll, Operation:=xlSubtract, _
SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False

Application.CutCopyMode = False
Range("R51").Copy
Range("L51:M51").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll, Operation:=xlAdd, _
SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Application.CutCopyMode = False
With Range("C5:D5,L47:M47,L51:M51").Interior
.ColorIndex = 6
.Pattern = xlSolid
End With
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=3

End Sub

Thanks for this, it works a treat. i eventually found the problem. some of
the cells were merged and therfore i was not including them in the clearance.

thanks for your time and patience

Don't you just love merged cells<g

Since xl97 introduced merged cells feature I have seen so many problems with
them that I wonder why they are still included as a feature.

But, good to hear you are sorted out with the macro stuff.
