Code:
    ActiveSheet.Shapes("Q1A1").Select
    With Selection
        .Value = xlOff
        .LinkedCell = "Result_DataLISTS!$C$1"
        .Display3DShading = False
    End With
    ActiveSheet.Shapes("Q1A2").Select
    With Selection
        .Value = xlOff
        .LinkedCell = "Result_DataLISTS!$C$1"
        .Display3DShading = False
    End With
    ActiveSheet.Shapes("Q1A3").Select
    With Selection
        .Value = xlOff
        .LinkedCell = "Result_DataLISTS!$C$1"
        .Display3DShading = False
    End With
    ActiveSheet.Shapes("Q1A4").Select
    With Selection
        .Value = xlOff
        .LinkedCell = "Result_DataLISTS!$C$1"
        .Display3DShading = False
    End With

I have the above code, that essentially needs to be repeated 18 times. "Q1A1", "Q1A2", "Q1A3", "Q1A4" and $C$1 would become "Q2A1", "Q2A2", "Q2A3", "Q2A4" and $C$2 and so on.

Whilst I have used Dim, For and Next for ranges, using the same code for Active.Shapes seems to fail. Is this doable or do I need to have a bulk of code?

Thanks in advance.

has now become
The spreadsheet has 18 "Group Boxes" each "Group Box" is essentially a Multiple Choice Question, that has four answers, each possible answer is a "Radio Button". So your solution above clears the first 18 "Radio Buttons" from the first 4 "Group Boxes".


If you want to clear all buttons at once try this one liner
Code:
ActiveSheet.OptionButtons = False

Yes! Use "0101011" for the weekend argument in NETWORKDAYS.INTL or WORKDAY.INTL. The 7 digits start on Monday. 1 means it is a weekend.
