How to undo ClearContents?
 

Currently, I do Range(...).ClearContents. Apparently, that cannot be
undone by ctrl-Z in Excel.

Is there any way to accomplish the same thing (in VB) so that it can
be undone by ctrl-Z in Excel?

hi
unfortunately running macros bypasses all of the built in niceities of
excel. once you have run a macro, there is little chance of going back.

Thanks. Not surprised. Just thought I'd ask.

There are PutInClipboard and GetFromClipboard methods in VBA. I have
not used them. But I imagine you could write a MyClearContents sub in
which the current selection is put into the clipboard and then the
range is cleared. You can read up on the method's VBA documentation
to figure out if it would work in your case.
