    Hi Ron,
    I have added this line but it still comes as debug. Maybe you have some other ideas?

    Re: clear dynamic named range content

    What's the error?

    By the way, why not just clear the range without checking if it has data? The outcome will be the same, the range will be empty.
    If posting code please use code tags, see here.

    Re: clear dynamic named range content

    Hi Norie,

    the error " '1004' Method 'Range' ofobject'_Global' failed"
    I need to check it because this button sometimes can be pressed even there is no data to print(and if it is a case then it shows debug as well).
    Maybe if there is no data in this range you can add msgbox which will say "No data to print" and then exit the sub.

    Thanks for your help

    Re: clear dynamic named range content

    That sounds like there's a problem with the named range, not the code.

    How have you defined 'print_clear'?

    Re: clear dynamic named range content

    This is the formula in the named range.
    =OFFSET(CheckSheet!$A$11,1,0,COUNTA(CheckSheet!$A$12:$A$161),9)

    It shows this error only when the range is empty

    Re: clear dynamic named range content

    If there is no data in the range then that formula will fail.

    Re: clear dynamic named range content

    Try

    =OFFSET(CheckSheet!$A$11,1,0,Max(1,COUNTA(CheckSheet!$A$12:$A$161)),9)
    One test is worth a thousand opinions.

    Re: clear dynamic named range content

    What exactly are you trying to do?

    Do you need the named range anywhere else?
