trying to run a sort to highlight rows and clear the cells in those rows....
Hello Excel experts, here is my need.
I have set up a spread sheet with validation lists in one cell on each row. The user can choose "funded", "in process" or "cancelled". At the end of the month, I want the user to be able to push a data button with a macro assigned to it. It is the macro that is giving me fits. Here is what I want the macro to do: Prompt user to save worksheet and pause to allow the user to enter the name of the saved file. Then, after the save is complete, the macro would clear the contents of all rows that had the "funded" category in it. I don't want to use delete as I want the formatting to remain in all 110 rows of this sheet. After clearing the indicated rows, the remaining rows would collapse so there are no blank rows between filled rows. Can excel do this? Thank you to the one(s) that take on answering this. James |

Hi James,
This code will do it for you : Option Explicit Sub Rename_File_And_Save() Dim OldFullName As String, NewFullName As String '.....get the full name of the existing workbook OldFullName = ActiveWorkbook.Path & Application.PathSeparator & _ ActiveWorkbook.Name '.....skip deletion of the old file if user cancels the "Save As" ' process, or doesn't change the name or path before ' pressing OK, or if "Save As" terminates abnormally. On Error GoTo SkipKill '.....show the "Save As" dialog box ' (give user opportunity to enter a new name and path) Application.Dialogs(xlDialogSaveAs).Show '.....active workbook now has a new name, so delete the old ' workbook (which is no longer loaded into Excel). ' Kill (OldFullName) ' the Kill statement will exit with an error if the file to be killed is still active Clear_Hide_Rows SkipKill: End Sub Sub Clear_Hide_Rows() Dim MyCell As Range Sheets(1).Range("1:30").Validation.Delete For Each MyCell In Sheets(1).Range("A1:A30") If MyCell.Value = "Funded" Then MyCell.EntireRow.ClearContents Next For Each MyCell In Sheets(1).Range("A1:A30") If IsEmpty(MyCell) Then MyCell.EntireRow.Hidden = True Next End Sub Sub Rows_Unhide() Sheets(1).Range("1:30").EntireRow.Hidden = False End Sub With respect to code above, please note that : -You need to adjust sheet references, row numbers etc to suit your needs -No hidden rows or columns should be there on your worksheet or the code will not work -Validation has to be deleted in order to be able to hide rows -If you need to unhide rows later, use the sub called Rows_Unhide Let us know if it worked !
