I have a notes section on my sheet and when ever a user selects that they want to to do anyoher cleint it whipes it clear for them. I just loop through my names and clear them out since all the cells that matter are named. This works just fine but it doesnt clear out the Merged named cells.

IE
Code:
Range(rng.Name).ClearContents

I tried = "" etc but none of these methods whipe out the merged cells.

Thanks

Hey bandit

I get around this by setting up my merged cells in a different way.

Rather than merge, I would name the first cell in the group that you would like to merge, put your value in that cell, select the range you would like to merge, choosing the named cell first, and format the cell to "center across selection" over the range which you would like to merge.

I can explain again if needed, I am known to be confusing

Yeah that works but it doesnt have the nice clean look to it. Becuase the way my sheet is layed out it covers 3 rows of cells of different sizes. It does do what is suppose to though. Maybe i will try to make it look alittle better on my sheet.
