Hello,

Is it possible to clear cells when a workbook is closed with vba
automatically.
I can't figur it out who can help me

Thanks

You'd need to put your code to clear in a Workbook_BeforeClose event.

Try this in the before_close workbook event:-

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Set myRange = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:B100") '< Alter to suit
With myRange
.Select
.Clear
End With
ActiveWorkbook.Save
End Sub

A little shorter:

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Range("A1:B100").ClearContents 'alter range to suit
End Sub

Just to add,
Unless it is a single sheet workbook, the results might be more satisfying
if the range is qualified with a specific sheet name. Otherwise, the command
assumes the activesheet and success clearing a specific range on a specific
sheet in Thisworkbook (assuming that is the objective) might be thwarted by
the user.

Success will also be thwarted if in the shorter version the user presses 'NO'
to save changes.

and if your not familiar with events

http://www.cpearson.com/excel/events.htm

also, if unfamiliar with the command for clearing the contents of cells,
some examples.

With Worksheets("Sheet1")
.Cells.clearContents
End With

With Worksheets("Sheet2")
.Range("A1,B9,C5:D7").ClearContents
End With
