not well documented but entire row and column formats are only stored once
in your file and do not effect usedrange.
Yeah, your efficient statement will clear the used range of the spreadsheet
except for the first row. it will also clear the next row down from the
used range (which was already clear). Not to mention, even if you had
specified the correct range, ClearContents is like the delete key - it
clears the text and formulas. Clearing is not the same as deleting.
If you have a table of data that is the only significant data on the sheet,
this will delete other rows/columns, I beliewve - untested - save first
(although, syou probably don't need to code this; this situation does not
arise if you delete rows that are no longer needed as a matter of habit
rather than clearing them):
with activesheet
set r=.range("a1").currentregion
.Cells.Resize(-r.rows.count).offset(r.rows.count).delete
.cells.resize(0,-r.columns.count).offset(r.columns.count).delete
end with

Subject: Re: $$Excel-Macros$$ Why is usedrange here returning the entire
spreadsheet?
Ok then I can not use this method at all becaues the columns have
formats set for the entire column (really not efficient for that to be
part of userange).
And I am guessing this statement that I thought was efficient is
actually clearing the entire spreadsheet and not jus the part with
data (except the header row)?
Sheets(Results).UsedRange.Offset(1).ClearContents
Best alternative for finding the last row of data in a spreadsheet?
And this statement is returning Object does not support this property
or method. I was pretty sure it would not work but worth a shot.
startrawdata =
WorksheetFunction.Match(Sheets(ContangoSource).Cells(2,
ConDate).Value, Sheets(RawData).BarDate, 0)
is the problem that worksheetfunction needs a particular sheet?
ConDate and BarDate are column names and this concept seems to work
elsewhere
but not sure if Sheets(RawData).Bardate really returns that column as a
range?
