Excel VBA ClearContents error - vba

Question

Im trying to run macro which should clear contents from sheets AA, BB and CC and then move into sheet MENU but its highliting me an error on line 4. Please see the code below.
Sub clear_sheets()
Snames = Split(AA, BB, CC)
For Count = 0 To UBound(Snames)
Sheets(Snames(Count)).Range("A3:C3").End(xlDown).ClearContents
Next
Sheets("MENU").Select
Optimise (False)
End Sub
I got a little bit different approach posted on a different forum. Which would run more efficiently, I mean which one will will be putting less stress on a processing?
Sub clear_sheets()
Optimise (True)
Snames = Split("AA, BB, CC", ", ")
For count = 0 To UBound(Snames)
MyRange = Range("A3:C3", Range("A3:C3").End(xlDown)).Address
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(Snames(count)).Range(MyRange).ClearContents
Next
Sheets("MENU").Select
Optimise (False)
End Sub
Update
I understand this is not a code writing website but I would like to ask you if you could have a look at my code below.
Sub distribute_dsp_data_9()
Sheets("raw_data_1_9").Visible = True
Sheets("raw_data_1_9").Select
ActiveSheet.ListObjects("COMP_summ_9").Range.AutoFilter Field:=2, Criteria1 _
:="DTTD"
Range("C2").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToLeft)).Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("DTTD").Select
Range("A3").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
Sheets("raw_data_1_9").Select
ActiveSheet.ListObjects("COMP_summ_9").Range.AutoFilter Field:=2, Criteria1 _
:="FDTL"
Range("C2").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToLeft)).Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("FDTL").Select
Range("A3").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
Sheets("raw_data_1_9").Select
ActiveSheet.ListObjects("COMP_summ_9").Range.AutoFilter Field:=2, Criteria1 _
:="FULL"
Range("C2").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToLeft)).Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("FUL ON").Select
Range("A3").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
Sheets("raw_data_1_9").Select
ActiveSheet.ListObjects("COMP_summ_9").Range.AutoFilter Field:=2
Sheets("raw_data_1_9").Visible = False
End Sub

Answer 1

Try this. I've declared your variables properly and also assigned values to your array using Array() rather than Split() both are fine, but Array() is more flexible
Sub clear_sheets()
Dim sheetNames As Variant
Dim count As Integer
sheetNames = Array("AA", "BB", "CC")
For Count = 0 To UBound(Snames)
With Sheets(sheetNames(Count))
Range(.Range("A3"), .Range("C3").End(xlDown)).ClearContents
End With
Next
Sheets("MENU").Select
Optimise (False)
End Sub
Also, it's better to use ThisWorkbook.Sheets()rather than just Sheets() if your code refers to the same workbook you are writing your VBA in. If you don't do this then VBA will assume you are referring to the sheets in whichever workbook is active when you run the code - that's not usually a good thing.
Update
I've changed the code to delete what I think you might want deleted?

Answer 2

Use:
Snames = Split("AA", "BB", "CC")
