I have code which clears a table which was generated the previous run. The
code is:

Range("b20000:o20000").Select
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("b10:o20000"), Type:=xlFillDefault
Range("b10:o20000").Select

I just want to clear the contents and the formats of the previous table
before I build up the next table.

Is there code which can do this faster? It is very slow. Takes about 60
seconds.

Best regards, Gijs

You can get rid of the select

Range("b20000:o20000").AutoFill Destination:=Range("b10:o20000"),
Type:=xlFillDefault
Range("b10:o20000").Select

but I doubt that will make much difference. Also try turning screenupdating
off and setting calculation to manual, and reset after.

try either of these:

Sub test()
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = False
.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
End With
With Range("b20000:o20000")
.Clear
End With
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = True
.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
End With
End Sub

Sub test2()
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = False
.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
End With
Range("b20000:o20000").AutoFill Destination:=Range("b10:o20000"), _
Type:=xlFillDefault
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = True
.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
End With
End Sub
