find last value in a column and clear contents up VBA

[pook_666]

Hi magicians,

I have the below code that finds the last cell in L and clears its contents.

Range("L" & Cells(Rows.Count, "L").End(xlUp).Row).ClearContents

What I want to do is find the last cell in L and clear contents upwards to the next gap.

For example, on the below, I want to clear contents 14:18 only. However, the values can be changeable and not always in the cells as listed below. Hence why I need to find the last active cell and then looking upwards (in the below case to 14) and only clearing that last batch of values.

I hope I've explained myself clearly enough - please let me know if you need any other info! Thanks!

If the cells are truly blank you can just do something like

Dim myRng As Range
Set myRng = Range("L" & Cells(Rows.Count, "L").End(xlUp).Row)
Range(myRng.End(xlUp), myRng).ClearContents

Thanks for the help @MARK858, however, this clears the top section instead of the last section of values. E.g using my picture snapshot above, this deletes 1:4 instead of 14:18?

Doesn't for me, it clears the bottom section. Are you sure that your "blank" cells are actually blank i.e. no formulas, no spaces etc.

What does the formula

=ISBLANK(L13)

give you?

Aha worked it out....I put the set myRng in the wrong spot (put it at the beginning of the long VBA I have instead of right before the clear contents line). All working now - thanks a lot for your help!

Happy you got it working (even though it shouldn't make any difference the "Set" being at the start of the code unless you have something else you haven't stated affecting it between it and the ClearContents [as long as you have the lines in the same order])
