Hi

I have looked at this thread which was helpful but doesn't give me quite what I need..

https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel-questions/1002856-vba-clearing-specific-table-columns.html
I also found this useful and started to write the code but realised it was referencing rows and I need specific columns.
https://www.thespreadsheetguru.com/blog/2014/6/20/the-vba-guide-to-listobject-excel-tables

Basically, I need to clear out all the databody ranges across all my tables in the workbook EXCEPT leaving the formulas?

Is there an easy way to do this or do I have to specify which columns to leave alone for each table?

Many thanks
Meli
 

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
I've found the answer which works great except that it's also clearing the tables from my lkup sheet which I need to keep.

https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel...-all-data-except-formulas-table-headings.html

I tried to recreate the tables as at first it was only deleting the first table but now all on that sheet.

So I need something that will run this code for All Sheets EXcept sheet named 'lkups'.

Code:
Sub ClearAllButFormulas()
    
    RemoveFiltersUnhide
        
    Dim wks As Worksheet
    Dim Tbl As ListObject


    For Each wks In Worksheets
        'ignore errors in case there is only formulas
        On Error Resume Next
        Set Tbl = wks.ListObjects(1)
        Tbl.DataBodyRange.SpecialCells _
          (xlCellTypeConstants, 23).ClearContents
        On Error GoTo 0
    Next

many thanks

ok I found the answer however it still was looking at my LKUPs sheet but I recreated all the tables and so it gets rid of one I don't need. Would like to know how to stop it reading this sheet tho?

Code:
Sub ClearAllButFormulas()
    
    RemoveFiltersUnhide


  Dim ws As Worksheet
  Dim wks As Worksheet
  Dim Tbl As ListObject


For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
  If ws.Name <> "LKUPs" Then
  
    For Each wks In Worksheets
        'ignore errors in case there is only formulas
        On Error Resume Next
        Set Tbl = wks.ListObjects(1)
        Tbl.DataBodyRange.SpecialCells _
          (xlCellTypeConstants, 23).ClearContents
        On Error GoTo 0
    Next
        
  End If


Next ws


End Sub
