Macro to delete NAMES in a workbook...


Posted by Chris Rock on November 01, 2001 12:25 PM

Is there code I can run that will delete NAMES in a workbook?

I've got an external data query that runs each day, and it adds a new NAME each time it runs. By the end of a month, I'd have tons of NAMES in the workbook.

BY NAME, I am referring to Named Ranges.

Why not have your macro Refresh your External Data
rather than recreating it or why don't you uncheck
the "Save query definition" option on the External
Data Range Properties dialog?

Sub Delete_All_Names()
Dim Nm As Name
For Each Nm In Names
Nm.Delete
Next
End Sub

No need to delete them if you don't create them (nt)

But he already has, hasn't he ? (nt)

I want to create a time sheet but I don't know how to add the hours up. eg 12:00 22:00 I know it equals 10 but how do I get it to do it automaticaly.


Assuming 12:00 in A1 and 22:00 in B1
then =b1-a1 will equal 10:00
or
=(B1-A1)*24 will equal 10. You may have to change format to general to show this properly.
