good day ,

I have a workbook with several tabs . I created a macro that will 'blank' applicable cells & then prompt a message to insert a date. below is the code:-
Sub blanksheetsall()
'
' blanksheetsall Macro
'
ActiveWindow.ScrollRow = 2
ActiveWindow.ScrollRow = 3
ActiveWindow.ScrollRow = 4
ActiveWindow.ScrollRow = 5
ActiveWindow.ScrollRow = 6
Sheets("Overtime").Select
Range("B9:B15").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("C9:C15").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Sheets("Expenses").Select
Range("C6:D12").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("E6:E12").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("G6").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "0"
Range("G7").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "0"
Range("G8").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "0"
Range("G9").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "0"
Range("G10").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "0"
Range("G11").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "0"
Range("G12").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "0"
Range("J6").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "0"
Range("J7").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "0"
Range("J8").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "0"
Range("J9").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "0"
Range("J10").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "0"
Range("J11").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = ""
Range("J11").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "0"
Range("J12").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = ""
Range("J12").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "0"
Range("K6:K12").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Sheets("Quick Calc-For NASA").Select
Range("A6:G11").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Sheets("TMcL-TSheet DXC WC 11-12-2017").Select
ActiveWindow.ScrollRow = 5
ActiveWindow.ScrollRow = 4
ActiveWindow.ScrollRow = 3
ActiveWindow.ScrollRow = 2
ActiveWindow.ScrollRow = 1
Range("D3").Select
Selection.ClearContents
MsgBox "Enter Applicable WC Date"
End Sub

The above works great until the tab name is changed and the debug highlights the following:-
Sheets("TMcL-TSheet DXC WC 11-12-2017").Select

This is because the file name is changed based on as shown in the tab name "TMcL-TSheet DXC WC 11-12-2017".

How do I get this to run without smoothly?

Many thanks for your all help with my issue.

Excel Facts

How can you automate Excel?
Press Alt+F11 from Windows Excel to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
Try using the sheets codename the name outside the brackets when you look at the sheet in the VBE properties window.

It will look something like Sheet1 (TMcL-TSheet DXC WC 11-12-2017) and you would use it as Sheet1.Select or as per the red lines in the slightly tidied code below (obviously amend Sheet1 to your sheets codename).
Code:
Sub blanksheetsall()

    Sheets("Overtime").Range("B9:B15").ClearContents
    Sheets("Overtime").Range("C9:C15").ClearContents
    
    With Sheets("Expenses")
        .Range("C6:D12").ClearContents
        .Range("E6:E12").ClearContents
        .Range("G6").Value = "0"
        .Range("G7").Value = "0"
        .Range("G8").Value = "0"
        .Range("G9").Value = "0"
        .Range("G10").Value = "0"
        .Range("G11").Value = "0"
        .Range("G12").Value = "0"
        .Range("J6").Value = "0"
        .Range("J7").Value = "0"
        .Range("J8").Value = "0"
        .Range("J9").Value = "0"
        .Range("J10").Value = "0"
        .Range("J11").Value = ""
        .Range("J11").Value = "0"
        .Range("J12").Value = ""
        .Range("J12").Value = "0"
        .Range("K6:K12").ClearContents
    End With
    Sheets("Quick Calc-For NASA").Range("A6:G11").ClearContents
   [COLOR="#FF0000"] Sheet1.Range("D3").ClearContents
    Application.Goto Sheet1.Range("D3")[/COLOR]
    MsgBox "Enter Applicable WC Date"
End Sub

many thanks works a treat.

After I insert the applicable date into d3, I would to have the option of a yes/no to save? is this poss? The VB below works but at the moment is on a seperate macro button but on the same worksheet but would like to able to combine it into 'Sub blanksheetsall()'

'ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="C:\Timesheets " & Application.PathSeparator & ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(1).Name

many thanks again & a very xmas too

Maybe..

Code:
Sub blanksheetsall()
    Dim MSG1 As String

    Sheets("Overtime").Range("B9:B15").ClearContents
    Sheets("Overtime").Range("C9:C15").ClearContents

    With Sheets("Expenses")
        .Range("C6:D12").ClearContents
        .Range("E6:E12").ClearContents
        .Range("G6").Value = "0"
        .Range("G7").Value = "0"
        .Range("G8").Value = "0"
        .Range("G9").Value = "0"
        .Range("G10").Value = "0"
        .Range("G11").Value = "0"
        .Range("G12").Value = "0"
        .Range("J6").Value = "0"
        .Range("J7").Value = "0"
        .Range("J8").Value = "0"
        .Range("J9").Value = "0"
        .Range("J10").Value = "0"
        .Range("J11").Value = ""
        .Range("J11").Value = "0"
        .Range("J12").Value = ""
        .Range("J12").Value = "0"
        .Range("K6:K12").ClearContents
    End With
    Sheets("Quick Calc-For NASA").Range("A6:G11").ClearContents
    Sheet1.Range("D3").ClearContents
    MsgBox "Enter Applicable WC Date"

    MSG1 = MsgBox("Do you want to save?", vbYesNo, "Save?")

    If MSG1 = vbYes Then
        ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="C:\Timesheets " & Application.PathSeparator & ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(1).Name
    Else
        Exit Sub
    End If

End Sub

Actually I think
MSG1 should be dimmed as Long and not String but haven't tested as not by a computer.
