Clear cell automation still not working?

I have a really simple automation in my sheet. When a dropdown changes to a certain value a number of cells on the same row should be cleared. I cannot get this to work at all. I noticed there were some serious problems with the clear cell automation earlers this year, but is it still not working or what? Please see screens hots below.

The dropdown with 3 different values.

The automation:


Bottom line is that the automation does nothing, no matter what. I have tried to create a new one several times and also clear contents of other cells than Date type of cells, but it seems the clear cell functionality does not work at all :(


Any clues?

    Hi @OlliR

    I hope you're well and safe!

    Strange!

    Doesn't even the Siivous (h) get cleared?

    Have you tried refreshing after you've changed the PK/Siivous cell?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

    Best,

    Hi, Andrèe :) Thanks for replying so fast once again!

    The weird this is that nothing gets cleared, not even the "normal cell" PK/Siivous. It seems that the whole automation (or at least the clear cell) does absolutely nothing at all. Refreshing does not help either.

  • Good day,

    I'm having the same issue with the clear cell value automation. This is a simple automation and nothing's working.

    Thanks, Marc T
