Dear all expert,

I am doing some macro vba to select a cells that contains specific text in a table. and I want to delete the adjacent cells cotents of the selected cells. I am new to vba and need your assistance.
Thank you.

On table 1 ,i have few "DONE" text. and I want delete the cells content next to the "DONE" text cells.
 

Excel Facts

Last used cell?
Press Ctrl+End to move to what Excel thinks is the last used cell.
Assuming that your "DONE" is in column A and you want to delete column B

VBA Code:
Sub DeleteDONE()

Dim findMe As Range

For Each findMe In Range("A:A")
    If findMe = "DONE" Then
    findMe.Offset(, 1).Clear
    End If
Next findMe

End Sub

Here is another macro (no loops) that you can also consider...
VBA Code:
Sub ClearNextToDone()
  With Range("B1:B" & Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row)
    .Value = Evaluate("IF(" & .Offset(, -1).Address & "=""Done"","""",IF(" & .Address & "="""",""""," & .Address & "))")
  End With
End Sub
