I have the following Table in my macro-enabled excel file
Table 1:
Table1.PNG


My goal is to clear cells in Column D only, if a cell value (in column D) = 999, before I close this workbook.
User can create a new record(s) in this Table and a new cell value in Column D could be = 999, so whenever any existing or new record has cell value = 999 in Column D - this value must be cleared.
Below, plz. see my expected result:
In a screenshot below, user entered a new records - 5 thru 8. record 7 in Column D had 999 value also - cleared content before closing workbook
and that's what we see after re-opening this workbook:

Table1_upd.PNG


I tried the following code (and a few more), but keep getting errors.
Not sure - how do I have to define a Workbook and then - how to correctly select the Column D of this Table1
Could be other mistakes as well;

Using vba from time to time only (on rare occasions)
Plz HELP!

Here is one of the VBA examples I tried:

VBA Code:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
  
   Dim sht As Worksheet
   Set sht = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet
 
    If Worksheets("Sheet1").ListObjects("Table1").Columns(4).Value = 999 Then
       Worksheets("Sheet1").ListObjects("Table1").Columns(4).ClearContents
      
    End If
    
 End Sub

Click the italics "fx" icon to the left of the formula bar to open the Functions Arguments dialog. Help is displayed for each argument.
Try this air code. No file presented to test. Suggest instead of pictures, you use XL2BB.

VBA Code:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
    Dim i As Long, lr As Long
    lr = Range("D" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
    For i = 2 To lr
        If Range("D" & i) = 999 Then
            Range("D" & i).ClearContents
        End If
    Next i

End Sub
