Hello,
I was wondering if there was a VBA code that can delete all columns that are blank after a certain row.
For example, the code would delete the last 3 columns but keep the first 3 even though Rows 1 and 2 have a value in them.

[TABLE="width: 301"]
<colgroup><col width="61" style="width: 46pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 2230;"><colgroup><col width="68" style="width: 51pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 2486;" span="5"><tbody>[TR]
[TD="width: 61, bgcolor: transparent"]1[/TD]
[TD="width: 68, bgcolor: transparent"]2[/TD]
[TD="width: 68, bgcolor: transparent"]3[/TD]
[TD="width: 68, bgcolor: transparent"]4[/TD]
[TD="width: 68, bgcolor: transparent"]5[/TD]
[TD="width: 68, bgcolor: transparent"]6[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent"]QUANTITY[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent"]QUANTITY2[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent"]QUANTITY3[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent"]QUANTITY4[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent"]QUANTITY5[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent"]QUANTITY6[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="bgcolor: #C6E0B4"]10[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: #C6E0B4"]5[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: #C6E0B4"] [/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: #C6E0B4"] [/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: #C6E0B4"] [/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: #C6E0B4"] [/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="bgcolor: #FFF2CC"]40[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: #FFF2CC"] [/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: #FFF2CC"]20[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: #FFF2CC"] [/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: #FFF2CC"] [/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: #FFF2CC"] [/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

Thanks

In your example you are deleting after 3 rows which is the last row. In your actual file, will you identify the row or will it be the last row? Please clarify how the row is determined.

See the comment at the top of the code.

Code:
Option Explicit


Sub delcol()
[COLOR=#ff0000]'This code assumes that all columns to the right of the last[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#ff0000]'column in the last row will be deleted[/COLOR]
Dim i As Long, lr As Long, lc As Long
Dim last As Long
last = Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlUp).Column
lr = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
lc = Cells(lr, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column + 1
Range(Cells(1, lc), Cells(1, last)).EntireColumn.Delete


End Sub
