Default keep formula delete contents

hi
do you mean that you want to keep the formula AND column headers(other
headers too) but just delete the data that the fomulas key on??
if so.......
A macro might be best for this.
make a list of all the cells you want to delete from your template.
this list would exclude cells that contained formulas or headers.
the macro would look something like this....

private sub DeleteJunk()
Range("B3:B20,C9:C20, D12,D14,E3:G3, E14, E16").ClearContents
end sub

I made up the ranges above so you would obviously replace all the cell
references with your own from your list.
you would list the delete cells as ranges such as (for example) B3:B20 or
E3:G3 plus all the individual cells like d12, D14 ect seperating each
reference with a comma.
since it is a template, you could drop a command button on the sheet and
attach the macro to the button.
this way, you fill in the template, save or print, then click the delete
button.
template is ready for the next round.

at least that is what i would do.

Hi,

keep the formulae in the workbook undeleted and use conditional formatting to aviod #errors, #values visible in the workbook

step1: place the cursor in A1
step2: Ctlr A
Step3: Choose conditional formating
Step4: Use formaulae =ISERROR(A1)
step5: show formating Null (fore ground white and backgroud white)

Thanks
