How do I only delete/clear the visible cells in a filtered list?
This one puzzles me. In Excel 2003, using the filter command, I could select
a range of visible cells and delete or clear the contents of those cells without deleting or clearing the contents of the hidden cells which had been filtered out of view. I find that the same action now in Excel 2007, causes both visible and hidden cell data to be deleted/cleared. Question: is there a setting to correct this? |

How do I only delete/clear the visible cells in a filtered list?
Hi
I have just tried this with XL2007 and I get inconsistent results. Sometimes it does behave exactly like XL2003 and only clears the contents of the visible cells, and sometimes it clears everything between the first and last visible rows. Having applied the Autofilter, selected the rows required, if I right click and choose Clear Contents it "seems" to behave correctly. If I press the Delete button, it usually clears the lot. So far, I have not been able to determine exactly what conditions cause it to work consistently. -- Regards Roger Govier "Merv" wrote in message ... This one puzzles me.

After a good test
Alt ; seems to work in 2007, only if there are only visible cells in the selection in Excel 2003 you see a msgbox.
