I have this simple macro:

Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A3:A1000").ClearContents

When I try to run this macro, I get this error message:

Run-time error '1004':

ClearContents method of Range class failed

These are not protected cells, so I have NO idea what the issue is. Any ideas?

I had the same problem: deleting several columns didn't work. I solved it by deleting first the column with formulas inside. If you have a "helper column" filled with formulas this might cause excel to overload, especially if you have 10k+ rows.

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
