I have a table that is:
This has formulae, and the number of rows in the table can vary. I want a code in VBA which I can apply to an Active Button that would delete all the rows of the table and turn it something into like this:
However I still want the new information input in the new rows to have the same formulae applied on them as on the old information that was present before. I do this currently manually by selecting the rows and deleting them; I have even tried creating a macro but this did not work.
Any help would be appreciated :)
Edit: This is the code the Macro generated:
Sub clear3()
'
' clear3 Macro
'
'
Range("Table3").Select
Selection.ListObject.ListRows(1).Delete
Selection.ListObject.ListRows(1).Delete
Range("F11").Select
End Sub
--Now this works alright on the table when there are two rows, however when the table has 3 or 1 or just any other number of rows; I get this:
