I'm not sure if I understand exactly what you're asking. In a MACRO, it would be very easy to check the contents of "B", and if it contains something specific (like 1:22), then clear "A". Like this:
For I = 1 to 1000 if (instr(1,cells(I,2),"(1;22)") > 0) then cells(i,1) = "" next I is that the kind of thing you're looking for? or did I misunderstand completely?

I have a excel sheet that I put data primarily into Columns A and B only. Column A gets data manually entered into based on what data is in Column be right next to it. After I go through the data and run another Macro, I sometime need to change what's in Column A, based on whats in column B.
