Hi

I have a macro which clears data from cells A2 to H50,000.

However, I would like to add a warning message which asks the user if they're sure they want to proceed with the action.

If 'yes' then it proceeds, if 'No,' then nothing happens. My code is below with 'comment' additions of what I'd like to do.

Can someone please help? Thanks in advance.

Sub ClearDataFromCSVtab()
'Clears contents from columns A to H (below the titles) in the CSV data tab up to row 50,000
'MsgBox "Are you sure you want to clear the data in this tab?"


'If - answer is 'No' then nothing


else if
End If




ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range("A2:H50000").ClearContents
MsgBox "Data has been cleared"
End Sub

Spell Check in Excel
Press F7 to start spell check in Excel. Be careful, by default, Excel does not check Capitalized Werds (whoops)
Try this:
Code:
Sub ClearDataFromCSVtab()
'Clears contents from columns A to H (below the titles) in the CSV data tab up to row 50,000

Dim myMsg

myMsg = MsgBox("Are you sure you want to clear the data in this tab?", vbYesNo, "CONFIRMATION")

If myMsg = vbYes Then
    ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range("A2:H50000").ClearContents
    MsgBox "Data has been cleared"
Else
    MsgBox "Deletion Aborted"
End If

End Sub
