Hi to all
I have a piece of code that is working, but i would like to make it simpler by using a loop.
could someone assist me?

bellow is my code:

'%%%%%%%%%%% DELETE previous pictures from the worksheets%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

'Approval drawing 1
Dim myObj1
Dim Pictur
Set myObj1 = Worksheets("Approval Drawing 1").DrawingObjects
For Each Pictur In myObj1
If Left(Pictur.Name, 7) = "Picture" Then
Pictur.Select
Pictur.Delete
End If
Next

'Approval drawing 2
Dim myObj2
Set myObj2 = Worksheets("Approval Drawing 2").DrawingObjects
For Each Pictur In myObj2
If Left(Pictur.Name, 7) = "Picture" Then
Pictur.Select
Pictur.Delete
End If
Next

'Approval drawing 3
Dim myObj3
Set myObj3 = Worksheets("Approval Drawing 3").DrawingObjects
For Each Pictur In myObj3
If Left(Pictur.Name, 7) = "Picture" Then
Pictur.Select
Pictur.Delete
End If
Next



Thanks for your time

Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Untested but is this what you want
Code:
Sub DelPic()
'Approval drawing 1
    Dim myObj
    Dim Pictur
    Dim Cnt As Long
    
        For Cnt = 1 To 3
            Set myObj1 = Worksheets("Approval Drawing " & Cnt).DrawingObjects
            For Each Pictur In myObj
                If Left(Pictur.Name, 7) = "Picture" Then
                    Pictur.Select
                    Pictur.Delete
                End If
            Next Pictur
        Next Cnt

End Sub

Thank you Fluff
it worked like a charm.

one more question, if i want to use the same approach for bellow how could i make the Dim variables?


approvaldrawing1 = Left(Range("B5").Value, 5)
approvaldrawing2 = Left(Range("F5").Value, 5)
approvaldrawing3 = Left(Range("J5").Value, 5)
approvaldrawing4 = Left(Range("N5").Value, 5)
