VBA help

I have a fairly simple macro that copies a form with data in it and pastes it to the next empty row. The issue I have is that it will only clear the original cells that I cleared data from. (Recorded...

See if this works (may have to adjust the " - 8" and " - 16" after the lastrows to fit your data set better)

Sub New_PO()

    Dim lastRow As Long
    Dim ws As Worksheet: Set ws = Worksheets("Sheet1")
    
    With ws
        lastRow = .Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
        .Range("A4:P11").Copy
        .Range("A" & lastRow).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
        .Range("D" & lastRow - 8 & ":J" & lastRow - 16).ClearContents
        .Range("L" & lastRow - 8 & ":O" & lastRow - 16).ClearContents
    End With
        
End Sub

Could you post your macro? Sounds like an issue with using active/select in the macro recorder.

  Which cells are you trying to clear? The macro recorded is using hard coded references so it's not updating to factor in the extra pasted data.

    The first time I run the macro it would be the two ranges that are in the macro. Every time after the first it needs to move down by 6 rows.
    What I have is a PO book that I need to easily be able to add the next section to. Each Section is 8 rows by 16 columns.
