Hello all,
I need to clear a range of cells based on a reference cell.

O5 would be the reference cell. O5 will have a dropdown list ("Clear" & "Select") and when "Clear" is selected, A pop up message: "Are you sure?"
Yes, A5,C5:N5 contents cleared. (B5 is a hidden helper column)
C5,E5,G5,I5,K5,M5= "Spare" (Each cell prints "Spare")
O5 goes back to "Select"
Select C5
End.

I would like the macro to work the same when O9 is the dropdown list ("Clear") and all above applies to row 9.

So, anywhere "Clear" is selected in column O, the same row will show the results of the macro.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Russ
 

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
How about
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
   If Target.CountLarge > 1 Then Exit Sub
   If Not Target.Column = 15 Then Exit Sub
   If Target.Value = "Clear" Then
      Application.EnableEvents = False
      Intersect(Target.EntireRow, Range("A:A,C:N")).ClearContents
      Intersect(Target.EntireRow, Range("C:C,E:E,G:G,I:I,K:K,M:M")).Value = "Spare"
      Target.Value = "Select"
      Application.EnableEvents = True
   End If
End Sub
This will work for all cells in col O.
