For many (most) actions in Excel, it is not necessary to .Select then before
you work with them. In fact .Select slows down your code quite substantially. So you can do the whole operation in one line With Sheet1 .Range("A1", .Range("A1").SpecialCells(xlLastCell)).ClearConten ts 'Or ..Clear End With NickHK P.S. There is only one "Selection" per Excel instance, so you cannot qualify it with Sheet1 or a workbook. Similarly, there is only a single ActiveWorkbook ActiveSheet ActiveCell "hon123456" wrote in message ups.com...

Yes it is. CurrentRegion region is the range bounded by any combination of
blank rows and blank columns (or spreadsheet edges), down, up, left and right. -- HTH Bob Phillips (replace somewhere in email address with gmail if mailing direct) "GKeramidas" wrote in message ... tom: when i have values in a1 thru a15 and use your code, it deletes everything in column a, not just a8:a15. is this right? -- Gary "Tom Ogilvy" wrote in message ...

Sure, that is what currentregion is all about. But
In contrast, if row 7 is blank, then it doesn't. but set rng1 = Sheet1.Range("A8").CurrentRegion sheet1.Range("A8",rng1(rng1.count)).Clear or if the data isn't contiguous set rng1 = Sheet1.UserRange sheet1.Range("A8"),rng1(rng1.count)).Clear or With Worksheets("Sheet1") .Range(.Cells(8,1),.cells(rows.count,columns.count )).EntireRow.Clear End With -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "GKeramidas" wrote in message ... tom: when i have values in a1 thru a15 and use your code, it deletes everything in column a, not just a8:a15. is this right? -- Gary "Tom Ogilvy" wrote in message ...
