Is there a way to make a "reset" button to clear only select cells?

Hi 1vagrowr

Assuming you are selecting cells manually, why don't you just use the delete
button?

There were 2 responses (from me and Bob Phillips) to your earlier 2
identical questions in this newsgroup some 3 days ago, which have not
received any feedback from you in the threads.:

Hi Ivagrwr,

In addition to the responses indicated by Max, if the cells to be cleared
are constant, try assigning the following macro to your button:

'=============
Sub ClearCells()
Dim Rng As Range

Set Rng = Range("A1:A20") '<<==== CHANGE

Rng.Clear

End Sub
'<<=============

If your intention is to delete the contents but retain formats, change:

Rng.Clear

to:

Rng.ClearContents

If you are not familiar with macros, you may wish to visit David McRitchie's

Jumping in late here so don't know the OP's intent, but it seems fair to
point out that .Clear as opposed to .ClearContents clears everything,
including borders, Conditional Formatting, etc.

Hi David,

Jumping in late here so don't know the OP's intent, but it seems fair to
point out that .Clear as opposed to .ClearContents clears everything,
including borders, Conditional Formatting, etc.

Hence my comment to the OP:

If your intention is to delete the contents but retain formats, change:

Rng.Clear

to:

Rng.ClearContents

It is certainly fair to comment, but it is undoubtedly misleading to excise
the section of my response most directly pertinent to your comment.

Apologies. Totally missed that section. It was 5:00am and my eyes weren't
working yet.

Sorry, guys. The post wasn't displaying where I posted it (Excel general
?s). I happened across it just now when I displayed all threads.

Don't know what happened, but trust that you've got what you wanted since,
from the many responses provided ..
