How do I reset a table in Excel 2007

Post by Yossarian »

Hi,

I have an Excel 2007 spreadsheet containing a table that I use as a log. I would like to reset the table (erase all data and shrink the table) from a macro.

Any suggestions on how to do this?

Thanks.

Welcome to Eileen's Lounge!

Try this, substituting the correct names for the worksheet and for the table:

Worksheets("MySheet").ListObjects("MyLog").DataBodyRange.Delete
Best wishes,
Hans

Hi Hans,

Thanks for the welcome. I'm glad I found it.

Will your suggestion remove the table completely? I'd prefer to leave the headers and formatting and just erase the data, if that were possible.

The line of code that I posted deletes the DataBodyRange of the table; this will delete the data rows but preserve the header row and the formatting.

See DataBodyRange Property [Excel 2007 Developer Reference].
Best wishes,
Hans
