Clear contents of row but preserve formulas?
 

Hi Everybody,

In Excel 97 I'm using vba and the Object Model to copy a row and insert its
copy elsewhere. My problem is that with the newly inserted row I'd like to
clear the entire rows values that were copied over, but preserve the
formulas the row contains. I have only found the Range.Clear method which
doesn't preserve the formulas?

Does anybody know what syntax I would use instead?

Thanks for any help!
Sam

Hi Sam,

Use the macro recorder with EditGoto, Special, Constants, EditClear,
Contents

That will give you the basis for the code, which of course can be simplified

Thanks for the reply Niek!

Unfortunately Excel 97 doesn't structure it's Edit menu that way... I'll try
to find if that feature even exists in '97

Thanks
