What would the macro code be to clear all unprotected
cells in the current worksheet? Would put this macro in
Personal.xls
 
for each cell in Activesheet.UsedRange
if not cell.Locked then
cell.clearcontents
end if
Next


or assuming you wouldn't clear formulas


for each cell in Activesheet.UsedRange.SpecialCells(xlconstants)
if not cell.Locked then
cell.clearcontents
end if
Next
' or if you would add
for each cell in Activesheet.UsedRange.SpecialCells(xlformulas)
if not cell.Locked then
cell.clearcontents
end if
Next
 
Thanks again, Tom

Tom, a wrinkle - getting: Run-time error '1004': Cannot
change part of a merged cell. "If not..." line yellow.
What next?

Thanks, Phil
 
You could do it for just the first cell in the mergearea or even simpler:

cell.value = ""
instead of
cell.clearcontents
 
for each cell in Activesheet.UsedRange
if not cell.Locked then
cell.MergeArea.clearcontents
end if
Next
 
Thanks, Tom - works great. To speed things up, I took a
line from something you gave me earlier:
Application.ScreenUpdating = False/True

Thanks again.
