hey guys.... i have a sheet with alot of areas that i need to clear the contents of once i have used the sheet. The problem is that using the built in macro maker it seems to max out how many areas i can do and not only that but it seems that after i go over a certain amount it seemingly randomly omits ranges... this example is not all of the area i want because the sheet goes down to 591 but for some reason the macro has omitted the ranges between 364 and 406 and it starts with c426 although i started on C2364 and 406 and it starts with c426 although i started on C2. any idea what is happening? I dont want to have to make 3 macros to do 1 job

Sub clearscores()
'
' clearscores Macro
'

Union(Range( _
"C426:C441,E426:M441,C2:C33,E2:M33,C36:C66,E36:M66,C69:C98,E69:M98,C101:C129,E101:M129,C132:C159,E132:M159,C162:C188,E162:M188,C191:C216,E191:M216,C219:C243,E219:M243,C246:C269,E246:M269,C272:C294,E272:M294,C297:C318,E297:M318,C321:C341,E321:M341,C344:C363" _
), Range("C407:C423,E407:M423")).Select
Selection.ClearContents
End Sub

Round to nearest half hour?
Use =MROUND(A2,"0:30") to round to nearest half hour. Use =CEILING(A2,"0:30") to round to next half hour.
You have apparently reached the limitations of the macro recorder. It might be an idea to name the desired cell ranges; ribbon> Formulas> Name Manager> New.
You can use this to name multiple separate cell ranges together. Clearing contents would be simple as
VBA Code:
Range("SomeName").ClearContents
