Hello all
I thought the code above would loop through the workbook and delete the specific sheets listed, but it's not.
Where did I go wrong?
Thanks for the help
 
Question:
What if there is no 4-4 sheet, will the others still be deleted?
Thanks

PS. I'm still trying to figure out how to walk with one foot in front of the other...the variant idea is confusing to me. what is a variant?

No. If there is no sheet named 4-4 we would get a Error.

What is a variant?

I'm not able to explain every detail like this. Search internet for definition of Excel Variant.
I really do not understand some of these things I just know they work.

Excel Facts

What is =ROMAN(40) in Excel?
The Roman numeral for 40 is XL. Bill "MrExcel" Jelen's 40th book was called MrExcel XL.
A simple one:

Code:
Sub SheetsDelete()


   Worksheets(Array("4-0", "4-1", "4-2")).Delete
    
  End Sub
<strike></strike>

Hi Guzzlr,

Seems like you want to delete all visible sheets that start with "4-". If this is correct the following will do the job (and be dynamic in that if you later add sheets that fit this rule set the code will delete those tab(s) again with any further tweaking):

Code:
Option Explicit
Sub Macro1()

    Dim sht As Worksheet
    
    With Application
        .ScreenUpdating = False
        .DisplayAlerts = False
    End With
    
    For Each sht In ThisWorkbook.Sheets
        'If the 'sht' sheet is visible and starts with 4- then...
        If sht.Visible = xlSheetVisible And Left(sht.Name, 2) = "4-" Then
            '...delete that sheet
            sht.Delete
        End If
    Next sht
    
    With Application
        .ScreenUpdating = True
        .DisplayAlerts = True
    End With

End Sub

Regards,

Robert

I knew something like this would work. But I forgot how to do it.
I do not use arrays very often but I need to do more of these so I don't forget how. My script used array the way I knew but is more work. This way is best.
