Good afternoon,

I've tried and can't figure this out.

I would like an input box.. "What column would you like to clear?" Then I respond with a column letter (ex. H, I, J, K, L... there will only be one)

Then the VBA formula will clear all the numerical data from rows 2 through 175. It needs to leave all the formatting and formulas.

Thanks in advance.

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
Google is your friend with this one.

Here is an example of an input box. Here is an example of how to clear ranges.

VBA Code:
Sub InputAndClear()

    Dim Col As String
    Dim St As Integer
    Dim En As Integer
   
    St = 2
    En = 75
   
    Col = ""
    Col = InputBox("What column would you like to clear?", "Clear " & St & "-" & En)
   
    If Col <> "" Then
        'something was intered, go for it
        ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range(Col & St & ":" & Col & En).Value = ""
       
    End If

End Sub

--- EDIT ---
When googling anything related to VBA in Excel, you must include "Excel VBA" at the front. VBA is its own programming language that pre-dates Excel, and Excel has its own variation of VBA that it uses.
