I have a macro which will clear a whole bunch of cells from a whole bunch of
sheets. It takes forever. I do not know if there is a better/faster way to do
this. One idea of mine is to select muliple cells and then clear the selected
cells instead of one by one.
There might be a better way. Any suggestions?

Sub Clear_The_Month()

Dim c As Integer
Dim r As Integer
Dim sr As Integer
Dim s As Integer
Dim lw As Integer



Application.ScreenUpdating = False

lw = 16
For s = 5 To 36
If s = 31 Then lw = 9
If Sheets(s).Name < "salaries" And Sheets(s).Name < "salaries 2"
Then
For c = 4 To lw Step 2
For r = 2 To 74 Step 6
For sr = 1 To 4
If Not IsEmpty(Worksheets(s).Cells((sr + r), c))
Then Worksheets(s).Cells((sr + r), c).ClearContents
Next sr
Next r
Next c
For c = 4 To lw Step 2
For r = 83 To 87 Step 2
If Not IsEmpty(Worksheets(s).Cells(r, c)) Then
Worksheets(s).Cells(r, c).ClearContents
Next r
Next c
For c = 4 To lw Step 2
For r = 95 To 193 Step 2
If Not IsEmpty(Worksheets(s).Cells(r, c)) Then
Worksheets(s).Cells(r, c).ClearContents
Next r
Next c
End If
Next s

End Sub

Thanks

If the cells you want to clear are always the same you may consider using
Application.union

For example:
dim ClearRange as range
set ClearRange = application.union(range("A1"),range("F6"))
ClearRange.clearcontents
'continue setting ClearRange for each set of cells you want to clear.

You shouldn't have to test if the cell is empty since you are going to clear
it anyway.
