Delete contents of the filtered column with a macro in an excel report
This VBA is to delete all cell data of the filtered column meaning that it is not going to clear everything, only the ones that you have filtered. This macro works with or without a table.

Copy the code below and paste it into your macro. You will see my comments in green if exist so follow the help to adapt to your need.
Sub test() ' change name by your sheet name With Worksheets("name") ' change 2 by the column ID to be filtered (column B = 2, etc.) ' change xx by the value you are searching ' to add another filter for another column, i.e. column C, duplicate the line below and change 2 by 3 .UsedRange.AutoFilter Field:=2, Criteria1:="xx" ' change B by your column lastRow = .Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row ' if you add column C, change "B" & lastRow by "C" & lastRow .Range(.Range("B2"), .Range("B" & lastRow)).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).ClearContents ' optional line below, clear filter to see all data, if you want to use it, delete ' '.ListObjects(1).AutoFilter.ShowAllData End With End Sub
This code should work even if you use a table but if you prefer to put a reference to it, just change “.UsedRange.AutoFilter” by “.ListObjects("Table1").Range.AutoFilter” and modify “Table1” by the name of your table.
