I had a macro assigned to a button in a worksheet that cleared the contents, not formatting in cell ranges; B11:B120, D11:D120, G11:G120, I11:I120, saved it, it worked while I had the workbook open, shutdown, reopened the next day to find it missing and now I can’t recall the code which included deactivating and reactivating the password for the worksheet.

Help.
 

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
That should be very easy to re-create.
If all it does it clear the values in those ranges and saves the workbook, this code should do what you want:
VBA Code:
Sub MyMacro()
    Range("B11:B120, D11:D120, G11:G120, I11:I120").ClearContents
    ActiveWorkbook.Save
End Sub
So then you could just re-attach that code to your button.

EDIT:
Whoops, I missed the part at the end about the password. Kaper shows you how to incorporate that into your code in his post below.

Change your password to right one and in the code below (you may change oprions of protection - I left default set):

VBA Code:
Sub test()
    ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="MrExcel"
    Range("B11:B120, D11:D120, G11:G120, I11:I120").ClearContents
    ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="MrExcel", DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True
End Sub

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Thank you.
