    Clear contents for filtered range only

    Hello everyone
    I have the range("A1:A24") .. A1 has a header .. And A2:A24 has values
    I filtered this range so there are hidden cells ..
    How can I clear the contents of these hidden filtered cells without using loops
    As I know it could be done using loops and test if cell row is hidden then to clear the contents

    Simply I am searching for verse way as SpecialCells(xltypeVisible)
    Thanks advanced for help

    Why don't to reverse your autofilter condition to show Non Matching Results and use Visiblecells property to clear the cells.

    Re: Clear contents for filtered range only

    That's a great idea .. but in fact it is not the purpose
    I need to set Rng for hidden cells as a result of filter ..

    Another point is it possible to clear the contents for the whole range ("A2:A24") (visible and Non-visible) without cancelling filter and without using loops

    Reverse the same logic Criteria1:=1 to Criteria1:="<>1" to get the autofilter hidden cells and clear the filtered data.

    Re: Clear contents for filtered range only

    Thank you very much
    That a great step to reach the goal (half-way)

    Is it possible to reverse the criteria without knowing it ??
    I mean suppose the criteria was "<50" ... Is it possible to store this criteria without knowing it .... let excel vba store it and then reverse the action to complete the task

    I don't know the answer of the question.
    But if you want to clear the contens of the hidden cells (in filtered range) without knowing the filter criteria, you can do something like this:
