Hello all,

I have an Excel file which I use to manually enter information about a group of co-workers, which looks like this:

In the first column, from A12 to A26, I have a list of names. In the range E12 to Z26, I then manually enter the necessary information as needed.

What I would need is, when I click on a button at the end of the month, to run a macro clearing the content of a whole line in the range E12 to Z26, but only whenever a name in range A12 to A26 starts with "X-".

I don't know if I'm clear, so lets say in cell A20 I have the following name: "X- Fred", I would need the whole line from E20 to Z20 to be cleared (leaving A20 untouched).

Thanks in advance for any help.

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
Attach the following code to a button and run:
Code:
Sub ClearRow()

Dim rng as Range

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

For Each rng in Range("A12:A26")
  If lcase(Left(rng,2))= "x-" Then rng.offset(,4).Resize(,22).ClearContents
Next rng

Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub
