clearing cells
 

Hi,

Can you tell me what is wrong with this code?


wksDump.Range(Cells(2, 1), Cells(1000, 256)).ClearContents

If I put in wksdump.cells.clearcontents it clears the whole sheet. I
want to keep the data in row 1.

hope you can help.

Thanks,
Matt

Those Cells() don't refer to wksDump. If the code is in a general module, they
refer to the active sheet.

If the code is behind a worksheet, they refer to the sheet with the code:

Either:

wksDump.Range(wksdump.Cells(2, 1), wksdump.Cells(1000, 256)).ClearContents

or
with wksDump
.Range(.Cells(2, 1), .Cells(1000, 256)).ClearContents
end with

(notice the dots in front of .range() and both .cells().)

or even...

wksDump.Cells(2, 1).resize(999,256).clearcontents

With Sheets(wksDump)
..Range(Cells(2, 1), Cells(1000, 256)).ClearContents
End With

I'm assuming that wksDump is the name of a sheet...
