Clear contents of cells hidden by autofilter
 

Have written simple macro to clear contents of all cells in a particular
column. Works fine until some rows on the worksheet are hidden by
autofilter.
I would like to clear contents from all cells in a particular column, even
in rows hidden by autofilter.
Is this possible?

I think your choices are to show all the data, clear the range or to loop
through all the cells and clear each cell.

Clear contents of cells hidden by autofilter
 

Thanks Dave

Looping seems to be the only way to go for the worksheet I am working on. I
have found that I have to give each cell address and clear it's contents,
then move onto next.
It's a slow method and another problem is defining the last used row in the
worksheet when the last row/rows are hidden by autofilter. I have tried all
sorts of tricks but can't crack it and have resorted to using an arbitary
quant in the for-next loop.

Any ideas on that?

dim wks as worksheet
dim myCell as range
dim myRng as range
set wks = worksheets("sheet9999")
with wks.autofilter.range.columns(1) 'what column should be cleared
'avoid the header row
set myrng = .resize(.rows.count-1,1).offset(1,0)
end with

for each mycell in myrng.cells
mycell.value = "" 'mycell.clearcontents ???
next mycell
