The macro below works fine but I was wondering is there a better way of writing this without having to write 8 line items?

Sub ClearSheet2()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
ActiveSheet.Range("$B$2:$I$202").AutoFilter Field:=1
ActiveSheet.Range("$B$2:$I$202").AutoFilter Field:=2
ActiveSheet.Range("$B$2:$I$202").AutoFilter Field:=3
ActiveSheet.Range("$B$2:$I$202").AutoFilter Field:=4
ActiveSheet.Range("$B$2:$I$202").AutoFilter Field:=5
ActiveSheet.Range("$B$2:$I$202").AutoFilter Field:=6
ActiveSheet.Range("$B$2:$I$202").AutoFilter Field:=7
ActiveSheet.Range("$B$2:$I$202").AutoFilter Field:=8
ActiveSheet.Range("$B$3:$I$202").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("A1").Select
End Sub

Sub ClearSheet2()
ActiveSheet.Range("$B$2:$I$202").AutoFilter
ActiveSheet.Range("$B$3:$I$202").ClearContents
Range("A1").Select
End Sub

Exactly what is the AutoFilter doing for you in this code? With the
exception of preserving the contents of Row 2 (from Columns B through I) and
providing drop down arrows in its cells, it looks like all your code is
doing is this...

ActiveSheet.Range("$B$3:$I$202").ClearContents

Thank you gentlemen for your response, I appreciate it. Obviously I’m not very good with VBA, I recorded the macro and as I said before it works fine, but as I am still learning, I am just curious; there must be a better way.

My goal is to reset any filtered rows and clear the contents from the range ($B$3:$I$202) and leave the drop down arrows (row 2) intact.

If that is really what you want, then go with Jim's code.

Since .AutoFilter is actually an on/off switch consider this...
'--
Sub JustInCaseTheyComeBack()
If ActiveSheet.AutoFilterMode Then 'has filter arrows displayed
If ActiveSheet.FilterMode Then 'something is filtered
ActiveSheet.Range("$B$2:$I$2").AutoFilter 'remove
ActiveSheet.Range("$B$3:$I$202").ClearContents
ActiveSheet.Range("$B$2:$I$2").AutoFilter 'add autofilter
Else
ActiveSheet.Range("$B$3:$I$202").ClearContents
End If
Else
ActiveSheet.Range("$B$2:$I$2").AutoFilter
End If
End Sub
