VBA Code to Clear Cell

To clear cells using VBA, use a statement with the following structure:

Cells.Clear

Process Followed by VBA to Clear Cell

VBA Statement Explanation

1. Item: Cells.
   • VBA Construct: Range object.
   • Description: Range object representing the cells you want to clear.

     You can usually return a Range object with constructs such as the Worksheet.Range, Worksheet.Cells (with Range.Item), Range.Offset, Range.Resize or Application.ActiveCell properties. If you explicitly declare an object variable to represent Cells, use the Range object data type.

2. Item: Clear.
   • VBA Construct: Range.Clear method.
   • Description: The Range.Clear method clears the Range object you specify (Cells). Range.Clear clears the entire Range object, including values, formulas and formatting.

Macro Example to Clear Cell

The following macro example clears cells A5 to C9 (myRange) in the worksheet named “Clear Cell” of the workbook containing the macro (ThisWorkbook).

Sub clearCell()

    'Source: https://powerspreadsheets.com/
    'For further information: https://powerspreadsheets.com/excel-vba-clear-cell/

    'declare object variable to hold reference to cells to clear
    Dim myRange As Range

    'identify cells to clear
    Set myRange = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Clear Cell").Range("A5:C9")

    'clear cells (including formatting)
    myRange.Clear

End Sub

Effects of Executing Macro Example to Clear Cell

The following images illustrate the results of executing the macro example.

• Before macro execution: Cells A5 to C9 contain the string “data”, have a light blue fill, and the font is formatted as bold.

  

• After macro execution: Cells A5 to C9 (including both data and formatting) are cleared.

#5: Clear Cells with Zero

VBA Code to Clear Cells with Zero

To clear cells with zero within a cell range using VBA, use a macro with the following statement structure:

For Each Cell In Range
    If Cell.Value = myValue Then Cell.Clear
Next Cell

Process Followed by VBA to Clear Cells with Zero

VBA Statement Explanation

Lines #1 and #3: For Each Cell In Range | Next Cell

1. Item: For Each… In… Next.
   • VBA Construct: For Each… Next statement.
   • Description: The For Each… Next statement repeats the statement within the loop (line #2) for each element (Cell) in the cell range (Range) you want to search for zeroes in.
2. Item: Cell.
   • VBA Construct: Element of the For Each… Next statement and object variable of the Range object data type.
   • Description: The Element of the For Each… Next statement is an object variable used to iterate through the elements (Cell) of the cell range (Range) you want to search for zeroes in.

     If you explicitly declare an object variable to represent Cell, use the Range object data type.

3. Item: Range.
   • VBA Construct: Group of the For Each… Next statement and Range object.
   • Description: The For Each… Next statement repeats the statements within the loop (line #2) for each element (Cell) in the Group (Range). Range is a Range object representing the cells where you want to search for zeroes.

     You can usually return a Range object with constructs such as the Worksheet.Range, Worksheet.Cells (with Range.Item), Range.Offset, Range.Resize or Application.ActiveCell properties. If you explicitly declare an object variable to represent Range, use the Range object data type.

Line #2: If Cell.Value = myValue Then Cell.Clear

1. Item: If… Then.
   • VBA Construct: If… Then… Else statement.
   • Description: The If… Then… Else statement conditionally executes a group of statements depending on the value of an expression. For these purposes:
     • The If… Then… Else statement tests the specified condition (Cell.Value = myValue).
     • If the condition is met and returns True: Cell.Clear is executed.
     • If the condition is not met and returns False: Execution continues with the statement following the If… Then… Else statement (Next Cell).
2. Item: Cell.
   • VBA Construct: Object variable of the Range object data type.
   • Description: Cell is an object variable used to iterate through the elements of the cell range (Range) you want to search for zeroes in. Within the If… Then… Else statement, Cell represents the individual cell the For Each… Next loop is currently iterating through.

     If you explicitly declare an object variable to represent Cell, use the Range object data type.

3. Item: Value.
   • VBA Construct: Range.Value property.
   • Description: The Range.Value property returns the value in the cell the For Each…Next loop is currently iterating through.
4. Item: myValue.
   • VBA Construct: Variable of a numeric data type.
   • Description: myValue represents the value you want to search for and use to determine which cells to clear. Within the macro structure used in this VBA Tutorial, myValue is 0 (zero).

     If you explicitly declare a variable to represent myValue, use a numeric data type such as Long, Single or Double (depending on the value you’re searching for).
5. Item: Cell.Value = myValue.
   • VBA Construct: Condition of If… Then… Else statement.
   • Description: This condition is an expression that evaluates to True or False. Cell.Value = myValue returns True or False, as follows:
     • True: Value of Cell is equal to myValue (zero).
     • False: Value of Cell isn’t equal to myValue (zero).
6. Item: Clear.
   • VBA Construct: Range.Clear method.
   • Description: The Range.Clear method clears the cell the For Each… Next loop is currently iterating through. Range.Clear clears the entire Range object, including values, formulas and formatting.

     If you don’t want to clear the entire Range object, but only its contents, formatting or cell color, please refer to the appropriate sections above.

Macro Example to Clear Cells with Zero

The following macro example clears the cells with zero (0) in cells A25 to C29 (myRange) in the worksheet named “Clear Cell” of the workbook containing the macro (ThisWorkbook).

Sub clearCellsWithZero()

    'Source: https://powerspreadsheets.com/
    'For further information: https://powerspreadsheets.com/excel-vba-clear-cell/

    'declare object variables to hold references to cell range where you search for zeroes
    Dim myRange As Range

    'declare object variable used to iterate through the elements of the cell range
    Dim iCell As Range

    'declare variable to hold value (zero) you search for
    Dim myValue As Long

    'identify cells to search for zeroes
    Set myRange = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Clear Cell").Range("A25:C29")

    'set value (zero) to search for
    myValue = 0

    'loop through each cell (iCell) of the cell range (myRange)
    For Each iCell In myRange

        'test if value is zero. If condition is met, clear cell
        If iCell.Value = myValue Then iCell.Clear

    Next iCell

End Sub

Effects of Executing Macro Example to Clear Cells with Zero

The following images illustrate the results of executing the macro example.

• Before macro execution: Cells A25 to C29 contain the string “data” or the value zero (0), have a light gray fill, and the font is formatted as bold.

  

• After macro execution: Cells between A25 to C29 containing a zero (0) are cleared (including both data and formatting).
