The code below Loops through all Worksheets in the active Workbook and clears cells with the Style name specified by the user. It uses anInputBox to collect the Style name. It also incorporates aSelect Case Statement to exclude/include specified Sheets byCodeName. It also uses the UserInterFaceOnly argument of the Sheet Protection Method, so while code can run on protected sheets, normal users cannot change locked cells.
The other important element is the use of theSpecialCells Method to ensure only the cell the user wants (Formulae/Constants or both) are affected. This is asked of the user via the MsgBox Function.
The code is optimized for both speed and efficiency, which should not be confused with the shorter the code the faster and more efficient it is.
Naturally the code uses Styles only as an example, it could any code that uses cell Properties, Objects and Methods.
